"THC has shown to provide relief from pain & anxiety; reduces muscle spasms & nausea; promotes sleep & increases appetite.Transdermal delivery is the most effective method of delivering cannabinoids to the body as it enters the blood stream directly. When smoked or eaten, patients lose anywhere from 50%-70% of the cannabis consumed via air vaporization, metabolism and stomach acid. In fact, Mary’s Medicinal’s transdermal patch is so effective that the dosing of a 10mg patch is equivalent to that of 1 joint or an 80mg edible since it bypasses both metabolism by the liver and acid breakdown in the stomach."
