Two compounds isolated from hemp varieties of Cannabis sativa can block the COVID-19 virus from entering human cells, according to a new study led by Oregon State University researchers. The compounds have the potential to prevent as well as treat infection as a complement to vaccines. These cannabinoid acids are not controlled substances like THC and they have a good safety profile in humans.
So this is all about lab tests and is a long way off from being a legitimate treatment. Meanwhile, we can’t wait to see how some folks will run with this like the folks who tried hydrocloroquine or bleach and other unproven/dangerous treatments. We may finally see a Cannabis overdose.
