The more research available the more it is proven as one of the most effective and least toxic options out there for chronic pain. While it may not be as powerful as say any opioids it is not addicting either nor is it toxic to the liver like the various aspirin alternatives like ibuprofen etc.
From a sports medicine clinic full of MDs that recommend it now to their patients that have chronic pain due to sports injuries, to a bunch of NDs that prescribe it to cancer patients and others with serous pain management issues, to the many people I personally know that have had success with it for everything from chronic colitis to seizures, and more, I would say from firsthand experience it is overwhelmingly positive as a way to manage chronic pain.
Never mind that it has been part of the pharmacopoeia of pain management for close to 5000 years of human history...
There are strains that are high cbd like Charlotte's Web that are very low thc like Baddog recommends. There does seem to be a harmonic relationship to the way that thc works in concert with cbd so pure cbd and zero thc may be less effective than something with at least some thc.
