Pot-laced lotions promise pain relief without the ‘high’

BROOKLINE, Mass. — As access to medical marijuana expands in Massachusetts, there’s new interest in topical products that promise to provide relief for aches and pains.

“It’s a game changer for me,” said Lisa Burke, who uses marijuana-infused lotion to soothe her sore hands. “It has changed my life completely.”

Burke first learned about the product Allay while working at New England Treatment Access, or NETA, a licensed dispensary in Brookline.
