I've been using whole hemp flower via vaporizing. It helps me A LOT, so much that I am looking for ways to get into the industry. Not only for pain and inflammation, it helped immensely with sleep and morning fatigue. Have never felt better in the morning.

I've tried capsules and they work well, but to get enough in my system it was too expensive. Vaporizing the flower was so much cheaper. In the US you can order the flower legally to all 50 states, as long as THC content is less than 0.3% I believe. The sub-reddit r/cbd has a lot of good info.
