Not too long ago, regulations on CBD changed in Germany leading to a plethora of products containing it. As someone who occasionally needs pain medication, I tried some of the products to avoid regular pain killers (ibu). Especially on days with lighter pain, I wished for an alternative to the sledgehammer meds. But I was left standing in the rain. I didn't feel any effect. That's why I would love to hear from your experiments and experience.

CBD is wonderful if you’re not purchasing it from a gas station or something.

I recently got some CBD flower from WNC CBD and I definitely notice an effect when smoking it, albeit not as strong as actual bud but it’s still nice, especially when on T breaks.

With that said, cannabis has never helped me with pain (outside of distracting me from it when I get high enough), so I can’t speak on the capabilities of CBD there.
