Medical Cannabis - Seeking topical cream for dermatological study

Do you know of a brand of THC-boosted cream for dermatological purposes?

I have a desire to see how this market has developed.
I feel this is a useful application and *some* entrepreneur must have something to offer me.
I've heard it can handle psoriasis and eczema. What else?

I've looked on blogs and forums. It is hidden well if it's there, and I'm tired of hunting.

Any DUers know where to go? And is it available to ship or do I move to Colorado?

They're the world's largest medical marijuana dispensaries. They should know.

This sounds like a do-it-yourself project.

Step one is to Violate The Law and extract the THC Acid from some marijuana. Google "thc extraction" to tell you how. (It involves Everclear.)

The last stage of extraction is to boil off the Everclear. Do this outside on an electric hot plate please, and be sure to raise the temperature to 106 degrees C for five minutes - this converts THC acid (which won't get you high) to THC (which will).

Next, mix it into an easily-absorbed skin cream. According to my esthetician friend, the most readily absorbed skin care product is Hyaluronic Acid Serum, which is available at good health food stores, skin care clinics and on Amazon. It comes in a little bottle. Start with a gram of THC per little bottle and see how it goes.

But the map above shows LEGAL manufacturing states. I'm no DIYer, and this isn't on Etsy.

but most people are calling it RSO or "Rick Simpson Oil" Probably not the best looking product to smear on but I've heard many success stories about it. There are a ton of YouTube videos available

You will not be able to get it shipped to you from a dispensary in CO, you have to have a red card and purchase in person. I have seen it for sale here in a number of dispensaries but do not use it myself nor do I know what it is good for... Sorry.
