5 Important Things to Know About Mary Jane’s Medicinals

Living in Colorado provides one with a bevy of benefits, including mostly temperate weather, stunning mountain vistas, and more fourteeners than you can shake a stem at. But one of the very best things about living in Colorado is the determination of our citizens to empower themselves to have choices when it comes to how they relax, unwind, take care of themselves, and spend their recreational time.

That’s right — we’re talking about the pride that comes with being the first state to end the prohibition of THC, and offer recreational cannabis to the public!

Our collective choice to vote for the legalization of marijuana allows access to all kinds of recreational and wellness products that, sadly, almost two-fifths of states in the country still don’t allow. 

But to Coloradans, choices are important. And when it comes to choosing the right THC products for you, one of the choices you can make is to enjoy the THC-infused cannabis products from Mary Jane’s Medicinals. 

In today’s blog, we’ll cover the most important things that you need to know about our cannabis-infused products. We hope that you find the information you need to decide Mary Jane’s Medicinals are right for you, but if you still have questions, feel free to check out our FAQ page.

Our Cannabis Products Are THC-Infused

That’s right. Every small-batch, beautifully crafted balm, salve, lotion, and oil is infused with THC sourced from Colorado-grown, cannabis plants grown with organic methods. That means that when you use cannabis products from Mary Jane’s Medicinals, you get a full helping of full-spectrum CBD and THC. Mother Nature saw fit to put all of those wonderful cannabinoids into that plant, and we don’t see the need to take them out, especially when they have so much to offer.

However, it’s important to note that since our products are THC-infused, you can’t take them across state lines. Marijuana, and thereby THC, is still considered a controlled substance at the Federal level, and you can be held responsible (in a very serious way) for being in possession of THC products in states like Kansas, Texas, and Wyoming, even if you have a medical marijuana card. So, always make sure to double-check your purse, backpack, center console, and other easy to forget storage places for our cannabis products before you hit the road or fly.

Our Cannabis Products Won’t Get You High

It’s true that THC is a psychoactive chemical that can induce a euphoric and mildly psychedelic sensation that is often referred to as being “high.” However, for a high to take place, THC needs to make it into your bloodstream, and from there, travel to the THC receptors in your brain. THC can enter your bloodstream through your lungs and intestines quite easily, which is why smoking, vaping, and consuming edibles does the trick.

THC topicals are an entirely different kind of cannabis product. Yes, our products all contain THC. And, yes, the THC is the active ingredient that people seek out for relief from stiffness, aches, pains, and other discomforts. However, when applied topically, THC doesn’t penetrate your skin deep enough to enter the bloodstream.

So while you may feel an alarming sense of comfort, relaxation, and relief, if you’re using our cannabis-infused balms, oils, and lotions the right way, you shouldn’t worry about getting high.

We Have Something For Just About Everyone

Our lineup of cannabis products was built with you in mind, and you, and you, and yes, even you there in the back pretending not to read this. Our founder, Dahlia Mertens, worked as a massage therapist before launching Mary Jane’s Medicinals in 2009. Her work led her to understand that although massage was almost universally healthy for people, different kinds of massage was more effective for some than others.

Dahlia brought that same kind of philosophy about the importance of a differentiated experience to her creation of our product line. As such, there’s a cannabis product we make that can meet just about anyone’s THC topical needs. You can see the entire line when you visit our online product page, but keep in mind that our products can only be purchased at dispensaries in Colorado, Oklahoma, and New Mexico— more on that soon.

You Can’t Overdose On a THC Topical, So Apply Liberally!

There is plenty of evidence to suggest that overdosing on THC, in general, is a herculean feat of sheer will and determination, but when it comes to topicals, you really don’t have to let it worry you one bit.

For everyone keeping score at home, THC doesn’t enter your bloodstream when it is applied in the form of a topical cream, oil, or other THC-infused lotion or salve. As such, an overdose is simply out of the question. 

So, when it comes to using cannabis-infused products from Mary Jane’s Medicinals, feel free to apply liberally to gain the maximum benefit you are looking for.

When In Doubt About Our Cannabis Products, Always Talk To Your Doctor

While we have worked hard to study the science behind how THC works on the endocannabinoid system and what the effects of THC topicals are on our clients, we don’t pretend to be doctors. 

When you have a question about how a THC-infused salve, or other topical, might interact with prescription medications, skin irritations, pregnancy, or any other medically relevant circumstance, we strongly encourage you to seek the opinion of your family physician or primary care doctor.

Outside of that, we strongly encourage the use of our THC topicals in whatever fashion you find they provide you with the sense of relief and wellness that you are searching for.

Find Mary Jane’s Medicinals At a Dispensary Near You

Due to restrictions on using the United States Postal Service and other interstate commerce carriers such as FedEx and UPS, it’s not possible to purchase our products directly from us, but we do believe that day is coming. In the meantime, you can find Mary Jane’s Medicinals at all of the following Colorado,Oklahoma, and New Mexico dispensaries.

Discover your own sense of wellness, and make sure to let us know what you think of our THC-infused cannabis products once you’ve had a chance to use them. Take care!
