Topicals are the go-to method for a wide range of cannabis consumers. Hard-core athletes and weekend warriors apply lotions or creams on their muscles after a workout. Older patients find balms and lotions effective for regular aches and pains. Patients suffering from fibromyalgia or skin ailments find relief using topicals. Most lotions, balms, etc. are rich in CBD and do not have any psychoactive effect; your epidermis (skin) does not convert THC into the psychoactive chemical in your body. If you do not want any euphoria and only seek relief, lotions are definitely worth trying.
