You don’t need to live in California, Colorado, Oregon, or any of the other few states that have legalized marijuana to know that weed-infused beauty and wellness products are more popular than ever. Contrary to the stereotype the plant has gotten after decades of social stigmatization, it isn’t because people are just looking for new ways to “get high.” The conversation about marijuana legalization is on the rise, as more and more people are turning to cannabis as a natural way to treat their skin, anxiety, depression, and other ailments.
Studies have shown that cannabis-infused products are anti-inflammatory and have antioxidants, and therefore can be beneficial to your skin. Researchers at University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus found that pharmaceuticals containing cannabinoids may be beneficial in the treatment of a range of skin diseases, including eczema, psoriasis, and skin allergies. But arguably the more popular reason people are turning to cannabis-infused beauty products are because of their potential ability to treat anxiety or pain.
