Fighting Covid

Oregon State University and the University of Chicago have conducted studies that analyzed whether non-psychoactive compounds found in hemp could prevent infection and replication of the SARS-CoV-2 virus in human cells. And what are these non-psychoactive compounds? Cannabis Compound CBD.

Did they work? Yes, but in mice, not humans. Some other issues:

Each study tested pure, specially formulated doses of these compounds, not commercially available products with CBD additives. Researchers say that further study is required to determine how, or if, CBD, CBDA, and CBGA can prevent or treat COVID-19 infection in human beings.
