This trial is enrolling individuals with spinal cord injuries to test the effect of Cannabidiol (CBD) on pain severity. If included, participants will receive either: 1) CBD on day one followed by placebo within a two week follow-up period; or 2) placebo first followed by CBD. Researchers will measure the effect of CBD on pain symptoms, pain intensity, pain unpleasantness, and skin sensitivity to hot and cold temperature; they will also measure the effect of CBD on brain electrical activity using electroencephalography (EEG). Final testing will be performed 3 hours after each intervention.
