Apply to Fly: The Power of Transdermal Relief

April 1, 2025

You’ve probably heard of cannabis creams or lotions that help with sore muscles or joint pain. These are called topicals, and they work by staying on the skin’s surface to give relief in one specific area. But there’s another kind of product called a transdermal, which works in a totally different way.

Let’s break it down and look at why transdermals are a big deal; and how Snapdragon’s new transdermal Roll-Ons take things to the next level.

What Does “Transdermal” Mean?

Transdermal products are applied to your skin, just like a regular cannabis lotion or balm. But here’s the difference: transdermals are made to pass through the skin and go into your bloodstream. That means the cannabinoids (like THC or CBD) don’t just stay on the surface—they actually travel through your body.

Because of that, transdermal products can give both local relief (right where you apply it) and full-body effects, like calming your mind or easing stress. If the product contains THC, it might even have a mild high.

Snapdragon calls it “apply to fly”—you just roll it on and let it work.

Topicals vs. Transdermals: What’s the Difference?

Topicals (like regular CBD creams):

  • Work only where you apply them
  • Don’t enter your bloodstream
  • Won’t make you feel high
  • Great for surface-level relief

Transdermals:

  • Starts with localized relief
  • Absorb into your bloodstream
  • Can affect your whole body
  • May be psychoactive (if they are infused with THC)
  • Kick in faster and may last longer

So if you’re looking for more powerful overall relief, or something that helps your whole body, transdermals are the way to go.

Should You Try a Transdermal Product?

If you’ve only used regular topicals before, transdermals could be a whole new level of relief. They’re easy to use, fast-acting, and more powerful than surface-only creams. Whether you want full-body support or just want to skip smoking or edibles, transdermals are a smart option.
