Medical cannabis topicals have rapidly gained popularity in recent years as a localized way to target pain. That's why we are excited to introduce our 1:1 CBD and THC medical cannabis topical balm, formulated for patients to target pain associated with qualifying conditions. In Texas, medical cannabis is legal through the Compassionate Use Program for over 150 conditions, including neuropathy (nerve pain), spasticity (muscle spasms), ALS and more.
How Do Medical Cannabis Topicals Manage Pain?
Medical cannabis topicals may offer pain relief for patients managing symptoms such as muscle cramps, nerve pain, joint discomfort and more. THC-infused cannabis topicals interact with local cannabinoid receptors in the skin to reduce inflammation and alleviate discomfort (Caterina, 2014).
Texas Original's Medical Cannabis Topical Balm Ingredients
We've combined the power of cannabinoids with botanical extracts and nourishing oils to create a topical balm that delivers relief and supports skin health.
THC and CBD for Targeted Relief
Each jar of our medical cannabis topical balm contains 100 mg of THC and 100 mg of CBD.
- THC - May provide relief for various symptoms, including nerve pain, muscle soreness, muscle tension, muscle spasms or cramps.
- CBD – May help reduce inflammation (Anil et al., 2022).
Ingredients for Hydration and Skin Support
- Beeswax - Locks in moisture and creates a protective barrier.
- A blend of nutrient-rich plant oils, including meadowfoam seed oil, lavender essential oil, sweet almond oil and castor seed oil - Provides hydration, may calm the skin and soften rough patches.
- Vitamin E - May protect against environmental damage while promoting hydration and elasticity of the skin.
Other Ingredients
- Camphor - A 2023 study found that this aromatic plant oil may help relieve neuropathic pain by calming overactive pain sensors. It was shown to work as well as a common pain medication in mice, suggesting potential for pain relief (Li et al., 2023).
- Menthol and Peppermint Oil - Work together to create a cooling sensation and may help improve local circulation and blood flow to the applied area (Silva, 2020).
- Chamomile Flower Extract - May reduce inflammation and skin irritation and provide antioxidant support (Sah et al., 2022).
Who can benefit from medical cannabis topicals?
Patients experiencing neuropathy, pain, muscle tightness or stiffness associated with their qualifying condition may find relief with medical cannabis topicals.
What is the difference between transdermal and topical medical cannabis products?
Topical medical cannabis products are designed for localized relief by interacting with cannabinoid receptors in the skin. Cannabis-infused topicals do not reach the bloodstream and are not likely to cause psychoactive effects, making them ideal for targeting muscle soreness, joint pain and inflammation (Filipiuc et al., 2023). Transdermal products penetrate deeper into the skin and enter the bloodstream, which can produce systemic or psychoactive effects.
Can CBD and THC topicals help with inflammation?
Research suggests that cannabinoids like CBD and THC may reduce inflammation, alleviate sore muscles and promote recovery (Anil et al., 2022).
What do medical cannabis topicals feel like?
Medical cannabis topicals vary by individual, but common sensations include decreased numbness, improved circulation and blood flow to affected areas, pain relief and more (Silva, 2020).
Are medical cannabis topicals containing THC legal in Texas?
Yes! Topicals containing THC are legal in Texas through the Compassionate Use Program for over 150 conditions, including spasticity, neuropathy, Parkinson’s, cancer and more.
How do I get a prescription for medical cannabis topicals in Texas?
Getting a prescription for medical cannabis topicals in Texas is a simple process. Texans can schedule an appointment with a registered physician to determine their eligibility. Many physicians offer telemedicine visits, making it easy for patients to receive their prescriptions from anywhere in the state.
