Has anybody here tried using CBD for pain relief and anti-inflammation? [View all]

I have multiple back problems, including arthritis. The problem is acute if I sit up for long. Over the counter drugs don't help, and I don't want to take an opiate. I have read that CBD, derived from hemp, which is legal, works for some people. Do any of you have any experience with it?
