Cannabis extracts are showing potential in making people more resistant to the novel coronavirus, says an Alberta researcher leading a study. more here.
I don't know about you becoming more resistant to catching Covid (especially since it has recently mutated into an even more catchable strain). However, cannabinoids DO reduce inflammation, and can slow or even stop the progress of the cytokine storm! (FYI- murine = mice. Cytokines = compounds your body makes, some of which cause inflammation, while others can reduce it. A cytokine storm is when your body makes WAY too much of the proinflammatory cytokines causing damage. SARS-CoV2 = Covid 19) SARS-CoV2 induced respiratory distress: Can cannabinoids be added to anti-viral therapies to reduce lung inflammation? (USA) (full – 2020) SARS-CoV2 induced respiratory distress: Can cannabinoids be added to anti-viral therapies to reduce lung inflammation? - ScienceDirect "Like Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9-THC), the most well-studied cannabinoid, CBD decreased lung inflammation in a murine model of acute lung injury potentially through the inhibition of proinflammatory cytokine production by immune cells and suppressing exuberant immune responses. CBD can inhibit the production of proinflammatory cytokines like interleukin (IL)-2, IL-6, IL-1α and β, interferon gamma, inducible protein-10, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1, macrophage inflammatory protein-1α, and tumor necrosis factor-α that have been associated with SARS-CoV2 induced multi-organ pathology and mortality." Cannabis smoke (or ANY smoke) will inflame your lungs. That inflammation cancels out some (most?) of the good effects from the THC and CBD. So skip the smoking for a while, and vape, bake those brownies, take those capsules or use a tincture, to get the BEST effects! Granny
there was a report a few weeks back where the tester said only Indica worked ... now the new test shows sativa only ... most testers do not know the difference in indica or sativa and there really is not much difference save for the terpenes
