Great question! Cannabis-infused (THC-infused) lotion does not make you high. Cannabis does not produce its psychoactive or intoxicating effects through local applications, so people can safely get relief from cannabis lotion without getting high. Additionally, one would not fail a drug test as tropicals do not reach your bloodstream.

There is clear science to explain this. Instead of binding with receptors in the brain and causing a "high" (which is experienced when THC is inhaled, for example), cannabis topicals bind with local cannabinoid receptors throughout the body. For that reason, topicals only affect the area where they’re applied. As a result, one shouldn't expect to get any heady or cerebral effects from cannabis-infused topicals; however, experience supports it works wonders for pain. The soothing effects of cannabinoids works on joints and muscles as well as the skin itself. Psoriasis, dermatitis, itching & acne are just a few skin conditions THC topical products may help treat.
