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.

You’re getting a lot of answers from Americans. Be aware that CBD oil sold in Germany (Dm, Rossmann, etc.) almost certainly doesn’t contain significant levels of THC.

The evidence doesn’t seem to suggest CBD alone is effective in pain management:

Cannabis oil that contains THC is almost certainly a different matter.

Thank you for the heads up! Half way through the answers I asked myself if a German community would have been a better pace to ask in terms of obtaining the substances, but the effect should be globally available I guess.

Are you informed if the latter is legally available in Germany?

THC is illegal, at least for now. That’s what they’re aiming to change at the moment.

Medical marijuana is legal in Germany. If OP needs it for health reasons he could go through legitimate process.
