CBD In the Recovery Community with professional skateboarder David Hafsteinsson. The pro skater from Iceland has been a fan of CBD topical creams and products for almost two years now, ever since he discovered them as a non-addictive, natural alternative to help his body cope with the rigors of pro skating. Free of opiates since 2015, Hafsteinsson brings us back to the start of his journey and how his views on recovery changed thanks to CBD. It all started at age 13, he said, when he broke his ankle during a skate session. His doctors prescribed Codeine for his pain. While the prescription drug delivered the expected results, many other injuries were right around the corner.
