Question 1

What are cannabis topicals?

Accepted Answer

Cannabis topicals are creams, balms, and lotions infused with cannabinoids like THC or CBD and applied directly to the skin. They are used for localized relief rather than a full-body effect.

Question 2

What will cannabis topical creams make me feel?

Accepted Answer

You'll feel a cooling sensation on the skin followed by localized relief right where you applied it. Topicals interact with cannabinoid receptors in the skin and surrounding tissue but generally do not reach the bloodstream in meaningful amounts, so they do not produce the intoxicating effects of smoked or ingested cannabis.

Question 3

What does 8th Avenue's pain relief cream feel like?

Accepted Answer

Our cream is a full-spectrum 2000mg formula combining cannabis and CBD. Apply it to the skin and you'll feel a cooling sensation almost immediately, followed by pain relief right at the site of discomfort.

Question 4

Is the topical cream lab tested?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our full-spectrum 2000mg cannabis and CBD cream is independently laboratory tested in every batch, with verified cannabinoid data, just like everything else on our shelves.

Question 5

How do I use the pain relief cream?

Accepted Answer

Apply a small amount directly to the area of discomfort and rub it in until absorbed. You can reapply as needed throughout the day. Our team can walk you through the best approach for what you are dealing with.

Question 6

Who are topicals good for?

Accepted Answer

Topicals have long been used as a medical tool for pain management, and that same relief is now available to the public at 8th Avenue. They're a good fit for anyone dealing with localized muscle soreness, joint discomfort, or general aches who wants relief without feeling intoxicated.

Question 7

How long does it take for a topical to work, and how long does it last?

Accepted Answer

Most people feel effects within 15 to 30 minutes of application, concentrated at the site where it was applied. Relief typically lasts a few hours, and reapplying is generally fine as needed.

Question 8

How is a topical different from an edible or smoked cannabis?

Accepted Answer

Edibles and smoked cannabis are absorbed into the bloodstream and produce effects throughout the body, including intoxication. Topicals are absorbed locally through the skin, targeting a specific area without the same systemic or psychoactive effects.
