Topicals can boost your self-care routine
Topicals can be a game-changer in any self-care routine by offering targeted relief and nourishment. Topicals allow you to enjoy the benefits of cannabis without the psychoactive effects. They’re perfect for promoting relaxation, reducing inflammation, and moisturizing the skin, making them an essential addition to any wellness regimen. Here are some of the types we carry at Stok’d:
Bath Bombs
Bath bombs are the ultimate way to elevate your bath time into a luxurious, soothing experience. Infused with cannabis, these fizzy gems offer more than just a delightful scent—they provide a relaxing, full-body experience. As they dissolve, they release essential oils, moisturize the skin, and help ease muscle tension, leaving you feeling refreshed and relaxed.
Relief Sticks and Roll-Ons
Topical relief sticks are infused with a balanced blend of CBD and/or THC. These portable sticks provide targeted relief by combining the soothing properties of cannabinoids with the calming effects of essential oils like peppermint, eucalyptus, and arnica. Simply apply the relief stick to sore muscles, achy joints, or tense areas for fast, localized relief.
Body Creams & Gels
Topical gels and body creams are an excellent way to incorporate the healing properties of cannabis into your self-care routine. Infused with CBD, THC, and other soothing ingredients, these products are designed to be massaged directly into the skin, offering deep hydration and targeted relief for muscles, joints, and skin irritation. Ideal for treating large areas of discomfort, body creams and gels are perfect for a post-workout recovery or for unwinding after a stressful day.
Topical Safety Tips
Even though topicals can be one of the most accessible ways to access the magic of cannabis–without getting blazed or intoxicated–there are still a few things to keep in mind to have the best experience possible.
Sensitive Skin
While safe for most skin types, topicals can contain a variety of ingredients, including essential oils, which may irritate sensitive skin. It's always wise to perform a patch test before applying a new product. Apply a small amount to an inconspicuous area, such as the inside of your wrist, and wait 24 hours to ensure there's no redness, itching, or discomfort. If you have any concerns, check with your healthcare provider before using.
How to know if you’re using Health Canada approved topicals When selecting cannabis topicals in Canada, it’s essential to ensure the products you are using are Health Canada approved. Health Canada regulates all cannabis products under the Cannabis Act, which ensures that they meet strict standards for quality, safety, and consistency. Approved products are required to have specific labeling, including a standardized THC or CBD content and an excise stamp/seal that must be broken to access the product.
Travelling with Topicals
When traveling between Canada and the United States, cannabis laws can create complications. While cannabis-infused topicals are legal in Canada, the same is not true when crossing the border into the U.S. Federal law in the U.S. Even if you’re travelling to a state where topicals are legal it’s best to avoid any risks by not carrying them across the border - either to the U.S. or any other country.
