Mota

​​MotaCannabis is based on Vancouver Island, a historical hotspot of the cannabis community, renowned for its canna culture and quality product and nature’s most scenic spots. It’s here that Mota Cannabis was founded by the most passionate, innovative, independent-minded cannabis producers in Canada. When you try Mota products, there’s no doubt that they provide Canada’s best medicinal quality derivative cannabis products.

​​By working closely with patients, carefully selecting strains, and adjusting and refining growing, extraction, and infusion techniques, Mota’s island team has won a privileged reputation for producing some of the finest infused cannabis products in the world.

​​To understand Mota, you must first understand the environment in which it was founded. Vancouver Island is a paradise for nature lovers, has an incredibly mild climate, abundant wildlife, and a true community feel. This unique west coast culture has grown its own unique cannabis culture and community and this is what sets Mota Cannabis apart from other cannabis brands. Island traditions of hands-on quality and conscientious patient care run deep at Mota. Each plant they grow or source is carefully matched to ideal conditions for its genetics and then raised to maturity with pristine care. All their derivative cannabis products are made the same way – with a focus on quality, purity, and consistency. They began Mota by helping a small group of patients – friends who depended on them to produce the best cannabis products and medication possible. Today they still produce all their cannabis products with that kind of personal care.

​​Although long known with the Mota team, the medical community has confirmed their discovery of cannabinoid receptors in the skin. Mota has long been producing topical cannabis products but mostly within the cannabis community but with this published discovery, Mota has now released its tried and true line of topical cannabis products.

​​Cannabinoids represent a broad class of chemical compounds derived from the cannabis plant. Originally, this class only comprised phytocannabinoids, cannabinoids produced by the cannabis plant. Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is the most well-known phytocannabinoid and leads to the psychoactive effects typically associated with cannabis use. Later investigation led to the discovery of endocannabinoids, cannabinoids that are naturally produced by human and animal bodies, as well as synthetic cannabinoids. Cannabidiol is a phytocannabinoid that has been investigated in neurologic and anti-inflammatory conditions.

​​A recent study states that “Cannabidiol (CBD) attenuates inflammation and pain without side-effects, but CBD is hydrophobic and has poor oral bioavailability. Topical drug application avoids gastrointestinal administration, first pass metabolism, providing more constant plasma levels.” DC Health also states that a systematic review of 18 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) with a total of 766 participants with chronic non-cancer pain found that 15/18 trials showed a significant analgesic effect of cannabinoids, compared to a placebo. Conditions studied included neuropathic pain, “chronic pain”, rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, and central pain in multiple sclerosis. So if you’re looking for an alternative, effective, efficient, and discreet way of consuming cannabis, topical products could be a great solution for you.

​​Overall, cannabis topicals are most often used for localized pain relief, muscle soreness, tension, and inflammation, but there is evidence of more potential benefits to aid in healing psoriasis, dermatitis to headaches and PMS.

​​A THC balm is a perfect way to treat soreness from physical activity and for arthritic pain caused by inflammation, THCA (acid form of THC), and CBD are both anti-inflammatories that can reduce symptoms. Study results show promise for topical cannabis treatments and the fact that it’s convenient, therapeutic, and discreet, it’s worth experimenting with different products to see what works best for you.
