places where the cannabinoid is filtered or broken down with other cannabis products . That means you get 100 % of the medicinal value of the cannabinoids in the patches , which makes them a wonderful product for a first time ( or first in a long time ) consumer who is seeking relief by consuming medical marijuana .
● Transdermal delivery provides whole-body relief , time-released relief , specific cannabinoid options , and is about as discreet as you can get .
● When you smoke a joint , you ’ re getting THC but also a whole mix of different cannabinoids .
● With the THC patch , you ’ re only getting THC . So , the medicinal effects may be even stronger with transdermal delivery . Also , any cannabinoid that ’ s taken orally ( like in an edible ) is metabolized first by your body before it starts circulating in your bloodstream .
● Cannabinoids taken through the skin in a patch don ’ t have to go through this intermediate step , so more gets to circulate in your blood .
● What ’ s more , many transdermal patches are designed to remain on the body for several hours or even days . You ’ ll get a slow and steady dose rather than having to remember to take cannabis oil or apply a topical cannabis lotion .
The best transdermal patches I ’ ve found currently on the market are from Synergy Skin Worx ( SSW ), a company based in Oregon ( not available in Missouri yet ). SSW patches contain the most milligrams of cannabinoids per patch , the longest length of wear , the most minimal , hypoallergenic ingredients , and the best pricing options currently offered . In addition , SSW is the only patch company that can prove that its products are truly transdermal for as long as the packaging states they are . Having gone through flux testing on cadaver skin , they have shown exactly how effective the pressure-sensitive adhesive is at delivering a steady dose of cannabinoids through the skin into the bloodstream over 24-36 hours depending on the type of patch .
While transdermal patches might not be the best product for everyone , they are certainly one of the most unique and effective ways to deliver cannabinoids to the human body . They are ideal for discreetness ( an option for travel medication ) and ongoing pain relief . They are also one of the best products to try for chronic conditions and symptoms for which medical marijuana patients are often seeking relief .
