Topical Weed?

[RhythmSpring]

I have some potent cannabis-infused coconut oil. If I were to rub that into my skin, would I get any effects? Would the effects be any different from ingestion? In what way?

You will not get high if that's what you're asking.

My intent is actually health-related. In fact, since I usually get paranoid on cannabis, I'd prefer not to get high.

I have rheumatoid arthritis, and I was wondering if rubbing cannabis oil on my joints would have any salubrious effects.

Probably should have made that clear in the OP.

I believe that answer to that question is a yes, but that is based on conversations we've had on this subject in the past and not on personal experience.

I hope you made it using bees wax?

Why? Did you read my post? I made it with coconut oil.

Yes I read your post. Did you follow some sort of guide or did you just improvise it? Because salve mostly is made using bees wax as an ingredient even if it's made using coconut oil instead of the usual olive oil, so I was just surprised that you used coconut oil on it's own.
