Cannabis shows promise blocking coronavirus infection:
Cannabis extracts are showing potential in making people more resistant to the novel coronavirus, says an Alberta researcher leading a study.
After sifting through 400 cannabis strains, researchers at the University of Lethbridge are concentrating on about a dozen that show promising results in ensuring less fertile ground for the potentially lethal virus to take root, said biological scientist Dr. Igor Kovalchuk.
ower,” said Kovalchuk.
“If they can reduce the number of receptors, there’s much less chance of getting infected.”
Employing cannabis sativa strains over the past three months, the researcher said the effective balance between cannabis components THC and CBD — the latter more typically associated with medical use — is still unclear in blocking the novel coronavirus.
searcher Swysh.
But it’s generally the anti-inflammatory properties of high-CBD content that have shown most promise, he added.
“We focus more on the higher CBD because people can take higher doses and not be impaired,” said Kovalchuk.
The study under Health Canada licence using artificial human 3-D tissue models has been seeking ways to hinder the highly contagious novel coronavirus from finding a host in the lungs, intestines, and oral cavity.

It would be great if we could protect ourselves in any possible way from the danger of having coronavirus. I thought I got used to it; vaccination could save me from everything. However, I was wrong. Last week I got sick and couldn't hear the smell as well. I took a covid test, and it was it. I couldn't believe it. I had to cancel all my plans and had to take sick days, which was lame at this period for me. I am thinking of taking some CBD and seeing if it will improve my condition; I found a site with reasonable prices check here https://organiccbdnugs.com if you're interested. I'll post again to update the information!
