Temat postu: Masaż olejkiem z marihuany
I just got a weed-infused massage, and boy, do I feel GREAT

Infused topicals don’t get you stoned. But the best topicals I’ve used have a way of opening up the skin’s sensory profile, like a more nuanced Icy Hot.

As I walked out of LoDo Massage’s economical RiNo studio near downtown Denver I felt centered and straightened, corrected and focused. The body tune-up I’d just received was like nothing I’d ever experienced.

Actually, I take that back.

This feeling, the physiological equivalent to a Washed Out jam or Sigur Ros ballad, was familiar. As I made my way to my car, I wasn’t walking. I was floating. And I’d floated like this before — after my first-ever acupuncture treatment, which was so radical and life-altering that I immediately wrote a short story about it in an attempt to capture the essence of a feeling I never knew existed outside of science fiction.

And somehow this otherworldly sensation was sensibly fitting, the subtle float to my car and back to the newsroom. I just received a 60-minute Mile High Therapeutic Massage that used a THC- and CBD-infused lotion. Between the skilled therapist’s focused work and the potently medicated lotion, it was one of the most gratifying therapeutic exercises I’ve ever experienced.

And now a few preemptive answers:

No, I wasn’t high.

I didn’t smoke or vaporize before or after the massage.

And no, the lotion didn’t get me stoned. (That’s not how topicals work.)

As I floated to my desk in the newsroom and looked around, I saw everything as it was: Straight up and down, but with a gentle focus. The gentle focus part is always there after a solid massage, but rarely do I see linear structures and surroundings as straight up and down — because rarely am I straight up and down.

I could tell you about my left shoulder blade for 30 minutes but I won’t. I told massage therapist Taylor Diller about the constant pain and discomfort there before the massage, and she gently said, “Yeah, that makes sense,” when she first felt the knot that permanently resides there in my upper-left back.

And then she went to work. She kindly favored my left shoulder but also intuitively spent careful attention to my calves and neck, which were also particularly sore that afternoon. At first, the lotion — from Colorado company Apothecanna — worked like any other massage lotion. But about 20 minutes into the massage its unique ingredients warmed up and turned my skin into a particularly malleable canvas.

In the last six months of experimentation with infused topicals I’ve learned that not all of these salves and lotions and balms are created equally. I have favorites, and there are also other brands I would never spend money on again. After a half-hour of this massage, Apothecanna was immediately at the top of my topicals list.

Weed Sport: Mixing active pursuits with marijuana — sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. Yoga, sailing, cycling, tennis, golf and more.

Infused topicals don’t get you stoned. But the best topicals I’ve used have a way of opening up the skin’s sensory profile, like a more nuanced Icy Hot. Rub the topical into the area feeling pain or pressure. Give the topical time to take root. And then gently rub it in, taking time to work the surface skin and the muscles and tendons underneath.

When combined with the hands of a learned massage therapist these topicals become even more powerful weapons against pain. This massage had an elevated quality to it, and I felt especially attuned to my shoulder knot as she worked and worked and worked on it. I noticed the lessening tension with each sweep Taylor would take, and by the time I floated on down the street to my car I realized I was walking straight up and down — and without the tension that has permanently occupied my shoulder for five or six years.

Each eight-ounce bottle of Apothecanna’s Pain Cream sells for around $45 and includes 240 milligrams of cannabis extracts, “approximately 80 percent THC and 4 percent CBD,” said Apothecanna founder James Kennedy. His products are “flying off the shelves” at various Colorado pot shops, he said, and he’s also thrilled with his current collaboration with LoDo Massage owner Ed Rich, who noted that the newly introduced Mile High Therapeutic Massage, normally $75/hour, is on a $65/hour special through the end of July at their studio at 3101 Walnut St.

Mind you, this THC-infused lotion is not a miracle. But it’s superior to any other lotion or oil I’ve encountered in previous massages. It felt like it enabled my massage therapist to do the work she was trying to do. And I was so impressed with her work that I immediately rebooked: Same massage, same therapist, same infused lotion, same left-shoulder focus.

When Taylor saw me rebooking before I’d even left the space she smiled.

“Anytime I do a massage or any massage therapist does a job, you’re always going to be sore afterward — there’s that instant inflammation,” she began, noting that she’s given roughly 20 of the Mile High Therapeutic Massages. “But when I use Apothecanna it genuinely helps my arms not be in as much pain after a massage. It has the effect of putting an aspercreme on my arms.

“I’m using it to help the patient and client, but it’s also helping me and prolonging my career.”

Some might call that a win-win. Me, I’ll just call it my ticket to float — and now that I’ve documented this otherworldly experience (as I had with my first trip to the acupuncturist), I’ll simply count the days until my next appointment.

Cucumber water, complimentary slippers, freshly warmed robes and cool, mint-scented eye towels — the spa industry is all about these nuanced details. In Denver, another treatment option has made its way onto the menu: cannabis.

The marijuana-infused massage Cannabist editor Ricardo Baca recently wrote about at LoDo Massage is an example of how the recreational marijuana industry can find a foothold in the $14-billion-a-year spa industry.

Cannabis in spas has yet to become a full-blown trend in the U.S., according to the International Spa Association, but you can expect that to start changing in Colorado and Washington.

“I will forever work with cannabis for the rest of my career,” says Jordan Person, a massage therapist who a few months ago began offering massages with a lotion containing Cannabidiol (or CBD) to clients of her independent practice, Primal Therapeutics.

Cannabis Q&A: “If I get a massage with a THC-infused lotion, will I fail a drug test?”

Person was a nurse of 14 years who got into the cannabis industry a few years ago. When she wanted to get back to her healing instincts, she says she knew she wanted to tap into the power of marijuana.

She found the product that worked best for her — massage oils and lotions from Telluride-based Mary Jane’s Medicinals — and saw huge success with her clients. She admits that as a deep-tissue massage therapist she can really dig into her clients’ muscles. The CBD not only helps her own hands work but it also helps as an anti-inflammatory so that her clients stopped needing to be iced the way they did before.

“They love it,” she said. “It puts them into a deeper mode of relaxation without making them high.”

Person quickly realized that her dream was to open a spa that incorporates cannabis into a number of treatments, and the success of her massage practice has brought her just that.

Some of her clients have become investors, and now a 420-savvy realtor is scouting out spaces. Primal Therapeutics hopes to secure a space by July 1 and open what they believe will be the world’s first cannabis-focused spa on Aug. 1.

“It’s all happening so fast,” she said. “But this is the first time in my life when I’ve ever been on the path when I know I’m doing the right thing.”

Person is not the first massage therapist incorporating weed into her or his practice. Like LoDo Massage, therapists are keeping cannabis lotion on hand — or in other cases letting clients know they can bring their own.

As with so much in the cannabis industry, the legalities are still slightly fuzzy, and some spa owners are not quite willing to take the risk.

Jessica Podolsky, a massage therapist in Evergreen, says she welcomes clients who bring in their own lotions for her to use during their massage and has seen success with it all around — even her grandma is devoted to an infused salve for her aches and pains. But that’s as close as she gets.

“I would love to (use infused lotions and oils) personally, but I work for a company where my boss isn’t very pro-marijuana,” she said.

LoDo Massage owner Ed Rich talked about the issue with his legal council. They figure they are in the clear as long as they are only offering the THC-infused lotion at no extra charge. So having a tight relationship with a product manufacturer right now is key, he said.

“I would not be doing this if we didn’t have a deal with Apothecanna,” he said.

Apothecanna, the line of lotions LoDo Massage therapists use, was developed by James Kennedy, a medical marijuana business owner with a background in beauty products. He said that while Apothecanna has no plans in the immediate future to work with other spas, he agrees it is a relationship that makes sense.

“It’s a great way to show off the benefits of the product,” he said.

Right now Kennedy is more focused on improving his lotion recipes — which include plant essential oils, many of which are locally sourced — and the quality of the product. He sees the market growing, especially in places like Aspen where he can’t keep his products in stock.

“It’s not about getting high,” he said. “It’s about, ‘Look how cool this new industry is.’ It’s not about cannabis, it’s about a natural product.”

A question for the ladies: Would you use this THC-infused oil for heightened orgasms?

By all accounts, that is true — these topical products do not get you high. Each of these business owners has testimony that they will not cause clients to fail a drug test.

“If it got you stoned, my therapists wouldn’t be able to stand on their feet,” Rich points out.

Still, these lotions, salves and oils are only sold in dispensaries and fall under the same category as edibles in regulation. The potential to take over the beauty market, though, is there if Dahlia Mertens, founder of Mary Jane’s Medicinals (the products favored by Person), has anything to say about it.

“I think a jar of salve should be in everybody’s medicine cabinet,” she says. “It works for so many people across the board.”

On her website, Mertens has testimonials of burns healed, skin conditions cured and intolerable pain relieved by her salve, lotion, oil and even a product called “Hash Bath.”

Mertens started her line as a massage therapist who also wanted to use it in her practice. But now she has her eye on distributing to other states as legalization spreads. She has spent the past four years “pounding the pavement” to Front Range dispensaries and is seasoned in one of the biggest hurdles this cannabis spa industry could face.

“Now it’s just a matter of educating the public,” she said. “The word is getting out, and the orders are coming in.”

Person is certainly optimistic about the opportunity to jump into this freshly green cannabis spa industry — the pampering, the relaxation, the natural beauty.

“I feel that there are a lot of women that would not want it there,” she said. “But there’s a whole other group of women that daydream about it.”

Ciekawy artykuł. Może teraz po zmianie prawa olejki CBD i z konopi staną się bardzie popularne. Tak samo jak medycyna naturalna.
gwiazdeczka7 - 2018-09-19, 13:35

Te olejki są wręcz cudotwórcze, powinny być bardziej znane i lepiej dostępne!
hella - 2019-12-16, 13:24

Aktualnie z dostępnością nie powinno być żadnego problemu Polecam na przykład zerknać sobie do Konopny sklep, znajdziesz tam oleje w wielu stężeniach.

Zresztą nie są to wcale takie nowe środki. Konopie używane były w medycynie zanim odkryliśmy takie specyfiki, jak morfina, penicylina, czy aspiryna. Działały wtedy, działają i teraz. OBecnie zaczynamy do nich powracać bo mają wiele dobrych działań na organizm a przy tym są pozbawione efektów ubocznych;
poprawiają odpornosć
działają dobrze na koncentrację oraz obniżają ryzyko Alzheimera
jak również dobrze wpływają na wątrobę

Olejki konopne a olejki CBD to dwie supełnie inne kwestie :)

ALe zwykły olej konopny jest mega bogaty w kwasy tłuszczowe i bardzo ładnie pielęgnuje skórę. Polecam Konopną Farmację z Białegostoku mają szeroki wybór i na pewno pomogą w doborze produktów.

Słuszna uwaga - często brak ścisłości wykorzystywany jest w celach marketingowych. CBD pozyskiwany jest z kwiatu konopnego, olej konopny z nasion. Oba cenna, jednak oba w nieco innych celach się stosuje. Olej z nasion czy same nasiona znane są głównie z zawartości kwasów omega-3 i 6, według specjalistów o idealnych proporcjach.
