CBD Stick [For Strong & Convenient Topical Relief]

Have you been struggling with chronic back discomfort? Perhaps swelling in one specific area of your body has been making it difficult to sleep? Well, worry not, friend; the CBD Stick is here to help! CBD sticks, rubs, balms, salves, creams, and other topical products can provide quick relief from body aches. They are typically made by infusing high-quality cannabis flowers into either coconut or olive oil.

Hemp has developed quite a reputation for its many therapeutic properties in recent years. This reputation is primarily due to the many phytocannabinoids found inside the cannabis plant, such as CBD. These phytocannabinoids interact with our endocannabinoid system (ECS) to produce a vast spectrum of wonderful benefits. Keep reading below to find out more about CBD Sticks!

What is a CBD Stick?

A CBD stick is a topical product that you can apply to your skin to help relieve soreness, manage red or itchy skin, and help with joint stiffness. CBD sticks can be in the form of roll-ons made with CBD and carrier oil or solid stick balms that you rub onto the skin. High concentrations of CBD provide relief by penetrating deep into the thick layer of tissue that truly forms the skin beneath the epidermis, called the dermis.

Do you often get cramps from sitting down at your desk all day? Maybe you have joint aches or muscle soreness? Or perhaps you’re just looking for fast relief from an intense workout. Whatever the case, CBD sticks and other topical products can be a fantastic solution to any of these ailments!

CBD’s quick absorption rate and amazingly fast-acting effects provide maximum relief whenever you need it. Give it a shot! It may be the best soothing topical you’ll ever use.

What is CBD?

The hemp plant is a cannabis sativa strain containing high levels of cannabidiol (CBD). It is closely related to the marijuana plant, however, hemp only contains trace amounts of THC (no more than 0.3%). Hemp CBD is non-psychoactive and will not make you feel intoxicated.

Hemp CBD oil is distinct from hemp seed oil, and CBD consumers should educate themselves on the differences between the two. Along your CBD journey, you will likely encounter snake oil salespeople attempting to sell hemp seed oil containing no CBD. Uninformed internet shoppers searching for CBD products wouldn’t know the difference and could be fooled.

Hemp CBD comes in three different forms:

Isolate
Full spectrum oil
Broad spectrum oil

Full spectrum products generally contain up to 0.3% THC, which, if ingested, could potentially cause you to fail a drug test. If used topically, even full spectrum products will not affect a drug test, as topical products never enter the bloodstream.

Are CBD Sticks Legal?

Thanks to the 2018 Farm Bill, all hemp-based CBD products with THC content levels of 0.3% or less are federally legal for sale. For cannabis to be legally recognized as hemp, it cannot contain more than 0.3% THC.

For a bit of context as to how much THC this is, consider that marijuana may legally contain up to 30% THC when harvested. So rest assured, this minuscule amount of THC should not be enough to cause intoxication in the consumer.

Though CBD products are federally legal, individual states can still pass their own legislature concerning the legality of CBD products, so be sure to keep up to date with your state’s laws before purchasing CBD.

How Do CBD Sticks Work?

CBD sticks and other topical products are the least invasive way for consumers to ease mild physical discomfort. They don’t need to be ingested and travel throughout the body to work. Topical products are unique because they are the only CBD-infused products applied externally to a specific body part rather than metabolized inside the body.

When topicals are used, CBD is absorbed into the epidermis and the pores, where it begins to work with the skin’s natural cannabinoid receptors. However, CBD topicals also have a uniquely low bioavailability. Regardless of how much of the product you apply, human skin isn’t porous enough for the CBD to reach the bloodstream.

Can CBD Sticks Get You High?

Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is the primary psychoactive ingredient in marijuana, but THC is only one of the many cannabinoids in the cannabis plant. While trace amounts of THC can be found in “whole plant” or “full spectrum” CBD products, it is nowhere to be found in products made with broad spectrum CBD oil or isolate. The first thing consumers should know before purchasing CBD products is that CBD is not psychoactive, meaning that using CBD products will not get you high.

How Long Will It Take To Kick In?

The rate at which you will feel the effects of the CBD stick depends largely on the amount applied and how your body absorbs CBD. Many consumers notice the effects of CBD topicals much faster and last nearly as long as ingestible products.

We suggest using a generous amount, waiting 3-4 hours, then increasing the application amount as required to reach the desired results. If you like, you can even use topical CBD multiple times throughout the day to keep its effects going strong.

What Are the Benefits of CBD Sticks?

CBD sticks deliver the soothing benefits of CBD directly to your skin for targeted relief. They quickly absorb into the skin, are non-greasy, and contain all-natural ingredients. Plus, they are small, discreet, and easy to use.

Below we have provided a shortlist consisting of a few, but not all, of CBD’s biggest benefits:

No mess application
Portable and convenient
Sourced from non-GMO industrial hemp
Hemp is grown in the USA using natural farming practices
