CBD helps me with my back pain. I can't imagine life without it, actually.
Releaf, the clinic where I take my CBD, says in their post on
medical cannabis for chronic pain that CBD can increase the production of anandamide, which is a chemical associated with pain regulation. Anandamide is believed to reduce the feeling of pain and improve mood.
That said, you should consult with your doctor if you want to start taking it.
