Topicals have emerged as an area of their own and it should be no surprise as cannabis oils have been used in traditional medicine for a long time.

CBD has ability to permeate skin for topical administration for a number and initially gained popularity for localised relief from pain and inflammation, conditions of the skin, joints and muscles including arthritis, skin cancers, muscular pain but today it is professional athletes who are leading the way in uptake of topical CBD products and it is expected that where this group leads a greater consumer base will follow.

Particularly of note is that in jurisdictions where CBD is not cleared yet for internal use, topical products do not come under this restriction.
