Well I just question it's ability to act as an anti-inflammatory without the use of some type of skin penetrator. Maybe not DMSO (which I believe you need a license for anyway) but you need some sort of transport.

Perhaps for psoriasis a topical ointment without a penetrator would be fine since the problem occurs on the surface. Sorry I got a little carried away after seeing your post and thinking what a great idea that it was for true medicinal purposes.

For subcutenous inflammation and muscular inflammation I believe you would want a skin penetrator. Probably due to the dryness of psoriasis it may be best to use an oil based topical which would change the original plans I had for the ointment (alcohol could possibly leave the skin dryer than before the application.. therefore oil would be better I would think since dry skin could further aggrevate his condition). My girlfriend also has psoriasis; I'll ask her about it and what she thinks would be good in a topical.

I think pursuing a DMSO or similar product in use of a transdermal would be good for muscular aches and pains. I will probably pursue this as well for other people here who may take cannabis for pain related issues.
