What is the most effective way to use topical cannabis? I've been getting some great results with some cannabis salves, but they are very expensive. So I want to make sure I am using them in such a way that I am getting the most out of them that I possibly can.
That's a great question and there are things you can do to help the effectiveness of the topical cannabis you use. But to a degree this is also going to depend on why you are using topical cannabis in the first place.
For instance, someone with a stress headache may find relief for a simple one time application to the temples and/or neck. Someone suffering from menstrual cramps might best benefit from a cannabis infused bath. And someone with chronic arthritis will probably need to reapply every few hours.
So why you are using topicals will matter.
