For most people THC is mainly known from the joint. And maybe if weedoil. But then you really miss something, we may say. THC is also available in the form of a cream. A kind of cannabis cream, actually. You ask right away wonder what this cream then exactly what it means, and what the function of THC cream should be? Then you've come to the right place. We will list all relevant information about the ointment for you.
THC cream, THC ointment or THC balm - what is it really?
Before we move on to the content of the product, it is wise to first clear up some (possible) misunderstandings. Because that THC liniment, is it a cream, an ointment, or perhaps a balm? Well, that's simple: all those different terms mean the same thing in practice. In this case it is mainly about the substance, which is indeed a spread. Call it a THC cream or a THC ointment, but we mean the following: a substance containing THC, which geeasy np the skin can be lubricated.
Origin of THC cream
THC cream may sound new because it is becoming popular again, but it is not. Not even at all. People used z. as far back as ancient Egyptelf-made ointments, also based on cannabis, for a variety of reasons. The growing attention for THC cream is therefore a renewed appreciation of a historical use rather than just a modern experiment.
How cannabis cream works
The cannabis plant contains the substance THC, which has a psychoactive effect. This substance is often processed in joints and cannabis oil, but also in cream. Another fabric from the cannabis plant is CBD. This is also an important ingredient for the final cannabis cream. The power of the cream is precisely in CBD. That's because this substance contributes to the endocannabinoid system that is in every body. The cream is therefore an extra for the body.
Use of the THC ointment
As already mentioned, the ointment should be applied to the skin. It is smart to wash the skin with soap and water beforehand to get rid of dirt. Then the cream can be better absorbed by the body. Once the skin is clean, you can simply smear the cream on it. Then let it withdraw for a while. This may take several minutes. After that it is slim to wrap the skin with a bandage, for example, so that you can be sure that the ointment remains on it. How quickly the ointment takes effect varies a lot. This can take anywhere from 1 to 48 hours.
If the effect is not yet satisfactory, you can reapply the ointment, but wait a while. After 1 or 2 days, so that there is no longer any doubt about it delayed effects of the last time, you can smear it again.
How much THC ointment you should use
Not much can be said about the amount of ointment to be applied. That largely depends on your own wishes. In any case, you do not have to be too frugal, you can simply lubricate generously. What is still good to know: the skin of children and the elderly is thinner than that of other people, so less is needed for that. And of course: always read the instructions that come with the cannabis cream for more information.
What is the difference between THC ointment and THC oil?
Yes, that is a fair question. Why not just choose THC oil instead of THC ointment? Well, oil is taken by mouth. It is therefore not possible to use oil for a specific place on your body. That is the great power of THC cream: you apply it exactly where you want to care for your skin, and the cream does the rest.
