IN REVIEW: Mary’s Indica Transdermal Patch offers an under-the-radar experience and reliable relief. Whether you’re suffering from insomnia, aches or anxiety, this patch releases a steady stream of THC that’ll make a bad day better, or a good day great. It’s just as solid for patients who can’t smoke as it is those simply looking for a healthier option, and if you want the same intake experience with different effects, they also come in Sativa, CBN, CBD, THCa, and 1:1 CBD to THC.

This was a new one for me. Prior to this experience, I didn’t even know what a transdermal patch was. Now I sing its praises as a great way to microdose throughout the day without ever lighting up or gorging on edibles. I dutifully followed the instructions and applied this patch to a veiny part of my body. I thought long and hard about where to apply it, and decided that the inside of my wrist would do. As billed, this newfangled THC delivery system took about 20 minutes to take hold. I felt a wave of calm wash over me almost as if I was being tucked into a warm bed by some sort of motherly phantom.

“This patch supplied me with almost a day’s worth of good vibes and relaxation.”

Each patch contains approximately 18.81mg of THC and administers its dose through a lengthy period of time. I counted almost seven hours of a continuous buzz that seemed totally manageable and consistent throughout. It’s really something to behold, and as a microdosing option this patch gets high marks. A great choice for medicating throughout your workday without smelling like ganja, or continuously reaching into your desk for a low-dose edible. To quote that great infomercial of yesteryear, you just set it and forget it. By “forget it,” what I’m really referring to is your stress and anxiety. This patch supplied me with almost a day’s worth of good vibes and relaxation without ever couchlocking me or turning my lights out. I cannot say I was especially high at any point, but I don’t think that’s the point of this patch. It’s a microdose workhorse built for distance, not strength. The veritable wise turtle to the hare. Although I suppose it’s not out of the question to raise the stakes by applying a second patch to your other wrist, or essentially turning yourself into a transdermal mummy for maximum kicks.

This Indica Transdermal Patch by Mary’s Medicinals is terpene enriched with linalool, B-Pinene, and B-Caryophyllene. My high lasted for hours, but it never became too much or overstayed its welcome. For those who like getting high but don’t really dig inhaling smoke or vapor, this makes a great substitute. It also had the added benefit of being easy to apply. While this patch is not particularly energizing, it doubles for those who maintain an athletic lifestyle as both a means to get high without compromising lung capacity, and an effective post-workout recovery option.

“A great choice for medicating throughout your workday without smelling like ganja.”

After a midday weightlifting session, I applied the Indica Transdermal Patch and was treated to some quick and palpable relief. This continued well into the night, where I was able to finally doze off without issue. Next time, I plan on trying the sativa patch for more of a workout boost to see how that fares. A subtle experience with relaxation and moments of arousal seem to be the defining characteristics of this patch. Maybe the new hotness is not a glass of red wine and some Luther Vandross in the background, but a discreet 2x2 patch that works its way into your loins for full romance optimization.

I know a lot of people who only eat edibles because inhaling cannabis is not their thing. Of those people, many get headaches, or are not crazy about the unhealthy ingredients inside their edibles. This transdermal patch could be a great alternative for those who crave the high, but not the undesirable ancillary effects of traditional THC delivery methods. It’s also a good choice for those who are microdosing at work, or are amongst company that doesn’t quite dig weed. Nobody will be the wiser, and you’ll still be high for the long haul. Let your lungs and mind rejoice.
