Is this the same CBD that's being marketed as "
legal in all 50 states"?
Don't necessarily believe the marketing hype, folks—
Caveat Emptor!
Beatle, IMO, you're doing the smart thing in not risking it. IANAL, but from what I've read/seen it's still a "gray area" legally, and not worth risking anyone's freedom for/over. I will be delighted/ecstatic if/when this is no longer true.

I would be opiate naive since I have never taken one, so what would be a good one to start with? I think some would say none at all but unfortunately, I think it is necessary.

I think that (kind of) decision is best left to your doctor, who is familiar with your medical history, symptoms, other medications (potential interactions); who will be monitoring you, refilling the prescription, etc.
Regardless, it's often a trial & error process to find out what—and at what dosage— works best for any particular individual.
Things like driving may always be an issue, especially if we're talking about occasional use. Chronic pain patients who require round the clock medication usually normalize
somewhat over time (another gray legal area), but for occasional use patients, it's similar to other substances that impair judgment, reflexes, skill, etc.
