HIGH DESERT PURE TRANSDERMAL ROLLERBALL
CANNABIS TOPICALS
SACRED HERB MEDICINALS CANNABIS ROLLER OIL
MEDICINE FARM BOTANICALS CASCADIA CANNABIS BALM
Subtly scented with menthol and blood orange, it’s the aroma of this full-spectrum roller ball that catches our attention first. Though, after rolling this onto cramped and sore leg muscles, the relief after a long day of hiking was undeniable. After a brief massage, the topical rubs in completely, leaving no oily residue. With each application offering roughly 1.5mg of both THC and CBD, we can expect plenty of relief from this long-lasting topical.
The folks at Sacred Herb do an alchemical job of combining Cannabis with olive, jojoba and avocado oils. This silky mix is then accented with functional herbs and spices such as arnica, peppermint oil, cinnamon and more. The result is a roll-on topical that has a pleasant tingle just seconds after this roller glides across your troubled muscles. Ideal for those deep, persistent aches, we’ve found relief with this product for everything from lower back pain to our overworked shoulders.
This cooling Cascadia balm was inspired by the invigorating winds and flora of the Pacific Northwest. It’s created with a base of local beeswax, Cannabis and hemp extract, and then fortified with whole herbs and flowers such as yarrow, lavender and juniper berries. Medicine Farm finishes this extra-strength balm with eucalyptus, wintergreen and menthol crystals. The finished topical is ultra-smooth and an effective one-two punch for knocking out pain, working on the skin’s sensory response and cannabinoid receptors.
