Painkiller WITHOUT Addiction? New Company Creating Replacement for Dangerous Opioids
The danger of painkillers couldn’t be ignored forever.
And it’s about time the era of opioids for painkillers comes to an end.
Enter Dr. Clemens Fischer.
His creation aims to end this addiction cycle so many are in.
“We believe that we will be the first non-opiate chronic pain treatment worldwide,” says Clemens Fischer, the founder of Munich-based pharmaceutical company Vertanical. https://t.co/S0I0sKaty2 https://t.co/aZvN1EOngX

Forbes reports:
Vertanical, the Munich-based pharmaceutical company, is developing a cannabinoid-based extract to treat chronic pain it hopes will soon become an approved medicine, first in the European Union and eventually in the United States. The drug, currently called Ver-01, is not for stoners—each dose is low enough to avoid getting most patients high, the company says, but it packs enough low levels of cannabinoids (including THC) to relieve pain. And if it is approved, it won’t be found at a cannabis dispensary either. Instead, Clemens Fischer, the 50-year-old medical doctor who is the founder of Vertanical, hopes it will become the first cannabis-based painkiller prescribed by physicians and covered by insurance.
“I usually end up with the boring things no one wants to do,” says Fischer, who stopped practicing medicine decades ago to get an MBA from Harvard. A serial pharmaceutical and supplement entrepreneur, Fischer, who was born in Weilheim, Germany, runs a mini-empire through the Futrue Group, a Munich-based holding company with a collection of about 20 drug and R&D companies. Over the last two decades, he has built and sold a series of companies in the over-the-counter drug and supplement space, ranging from sleep aids to treatments for irritable bowel syndrome, amassing a $1 billion fortune.
Although Ver-01 is cannabis-based, Fischer has no interest in selling marijuana, which he says is a “shiny” object to be avoided. The $32 billion (2024 sales) cannabis industry in the U.S., which spans 40 states, is plagued with banking and financial challenges due to pot still being illegal at the federal level.
So far, Fischer has invested more than $250 million of his own money in Vertanical, which he founded in 2017, with his business partner Madlena Hohlefelder. The data from the clinical trials is promising: Ver-01 was found to be more effective than opioid painkillers with fewer side effects, including no evidence for addiction. The company is expecting a decision from the German and Austrian authorities later this year or early next year, which would allow the company to start selling its medicine. (Vertanical will then apply for broader authorization across the EU.) It hopes to launch Phase III trials in the U.S. in 2026.
Sarah Gaus, a 39-year-old German native who has chronic lower back pain after herniating two discs, participated in one of Vertanical’s clinical trials in 2023. She took Ver-01 for 12 months and says it worked better than opioids she had taken during a previous round of treatment.
There was one downside:
for the first week or so after taking the tincture in the morning, she was unable to work for about an hour while the effects took hold.
“I experienced a kind of high; it made me very tired and impaired my concentration, and narrowed my field of vision,” says Gaus. She says that Ver-01 was “not a godsend” but effective. She did not experience any withdrawal symptoms after she stopped taking the medication.
So what if you have pain before work? Or at work?
Doesn’t seem like you can take this, since it can get you tired and gives you blurry vision.
What’s the alternative?
There’s 2, actually.
Both without using drugs or chemicals.
The first would be the..
#1 X39 patch

#2 IceWave patch
This one is fantastic!
It’s for immediate pain. While X39 heals you from within, the IceWave patches deal with acute pain.
And FAST!
We’re talking relief occurring as quick as 3 minutes!
Does your aspirin work in 3 minutes?
Just be sure to place the patches in the right spot.
I had lower back pain earlier this month after working out, and it wasn’t good. Once I put on the IceWave, the pain was gone in a few minutes! It blew my mind!
Thank God for this company!
A MUST HAVE for your First Aid kit.
This is my new staple. I don’t even keep ibuprofen or Tylenol on hand anymore now that I got these.
Did you sprain something?
Do you have a headache or migraine?
Did you get sore at the gym?
Lower back bothering you?
That’s where the IceWave patches shine!
