Cannabis Product Spotlight: The Pass Award-Winning Muscle Gel

The Pass is on a hot streak this year winning our second notable award for our long-running THC-infused Muscle Gel. At the tail end of 2022, our muscle gel won third place in the topicals, tinctures, and capsules category at the highly coveted High Times Cannabis Cup Massachusetts: People’s Choice Edition event. Yup, THAT High Times.

Riding the high of that win only got elevated with our first-place victory in early 2023 in the topicals category at the New England Cannabis Convention (NECANN), the second-largest B2B cannabis industry event in the country hosting the largest cannabis competition in New England. This win was especially close to home as our flagship dispensary location is New England-based in Sheffield, Massachusetts.

Needless to say, it’s been exciting for our team to get recognition for their hard work, creative intuition, and all-around cannabis expertise. If you haven’t tried our award-winning Muscle Gel yet, here is why it’s worthwhile — plus some helpful information about cannabis topicals in case you’re newer to this product type.

FAQs About Cannabis Topicals

What Are Cannabis Topicals?

Cannabis topicals are infused with cannabinoids that penetrate the skin without reaching the bloodstream — unless they’re designated as transdermal — so they do not have psychoactive effects and will not get you high. Instead, topicals are meant to provide localized relief from aches and pains.

How to Use Cannabis Topicals

Cannabis topicals should be applied externally to the skin. The application process will depend on the product and brand — while some may have roll-on applicators, others may be in squeeze bottles, oil droppers, or come in a jar and come with a scooper. The dose and consistency of each topical will also dictate how much should be used, but generally speaking, a thin layer applied over the affected area is enough.

Types Of Cannabis Topicals

Cannabis topicals can come in a variety of forms and consistencies, from lotions and balms to oils and gels. Balms like ours are typically the hardest, firmest consistency of topical and are most often used to relieve sore muscles or recover after a workout.

Lotions and creams usually have water and moisturizing agents for a lighter consistency, while oil-based formulations are very easy to spread on the skin but tend to leave a residue behind.

What Are Cannabis Topicals Made With?

Different bases and cannabis materials can be used to make cannabis topicals. Find the specific ingredients used in our award-winning Muscle Gel below:
