CBD isn't the only part of the MJ compound that alleviates pain. THC is also a great drug for relieving pain. Unless you use large amounts of it, you will feel NO high, just more good pain relief. Have been on 50/50 THC/CBD for almost a year. I get no high feeling from the THC as many think. Before you down play a proven pain reliever, you should read all the literature and try it for yourself. In addition to the above I also take a solution of straight THC for breakthrough pain with NO HIGH. I repeat.....NO HIGH, so I guess this makes me an expert. (at least in my own mind.) LOL
