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.

From what you write, stoned is a positive side effect of the whole thing isn't it? Out do you think this is the main aspect of why the migraine is so much better bearable to you?

No, I don’t think so. As I said, I don’t even need to get high. Just a small hit every night (not enough to have psychoactive effects) keeps them pretty much away.

In the rare instance I get a painful migraine, I can almost always stop it completely with some specific strains. If I can’t stop it, then yeah, being stoned out of my gourd is a positive side effect. lol.

Interestingly enough, when I used to drink heavily, I NEVER had migraines. Not so much as a headache, no matter how heavily I drank either.

I do still get silent migraines (so some of the other symptoms, minus the pain) sometimes, but they are the least of my worries.
