Did anyone have any positive results with CBD products?
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's apparently not really effective for general pain relief, but there's some data that suggest that it's effective for neuropathic pain.
I take a full spectrum extract specifically for neuropathic pain and it's been moderately helpful, and since it's also immunomodulatory it seems to help some with flare-ups of my autoimmune disease. Not a miracle cure or anything, but it's been better than nothing and definitely doesn't make me feel as terrible as the more, uh, pharmaceutical options for treating neuropathic pain such as gabapentin, so I've stuck with it.
After consulting my favorite search engine for what neuropathic pain is (not your fault, but language barrier of a non-native speaker) I guess this is what I'm looking for! How do you obtain your CBD? Pharmacy or online?
Online store. It's Finnish and CBD's not strictly speaking legal here, but it's not exactly illegal either and authorities have outright said they don't know wtf they should be doing with this stuff – so they have the label "small batch collectible product, not for consumption" on their products to cover their asses 😄
Is it funny or sad that a finish collectible affects you positively health-wise? Sounds weird but hey. Sometimes laws are lagging behind so much it's annoying...
Yeah, especially here. Finland's pretty conservative compared to the other Nordics
