CBD infused topicals are quickly becoming hot commodity for their ability to ease aches and pains of athletes.
The Toronto Wolfpack has announced it’s releasing a line of CBD infused creams. They believe it’s a first among Canadian pro sports teams.
The team plays in England’s Rugby Football League, and after watching some footage, this writer is impressed at the quality of my local team.
The new product is branded under Howl, a subsidiary of the Wolfpack, aptly named Rugby Strength. The creams won’t have any detectable THC so you can’t get high. This is strictly for anti-inflammatory purposes.
Although the product is marketed by a sports team, the owner David Argyle says the creams can help more than just rugby players. “In rugby, we know a thing or two about pain,” he says. “If it works for us, it could work for you.”
The product is expected to launch in the U.K. and the U.S. this summer. In Canada, cannabis-infused topical creams have not yet been legalized, but the federal government has promised that related regulations will be in place by mid-October. Once this is the case, Argyle says the Canadian launch of the product will soon follow.
