Cannabis can save you from Covid infection

Cool.

Please, I'm looking for a reason NOT to get high every day!

Wait, what…? Whoa…. What were we talking about?

Is that why I haven’t gotten it yet?

I bought some sativa from local cannabis store and it made me tired. I have some edibles in my cupboard if anyone wants them.

*my

I just told my husband and he dryly says, “well no wonder you’ve avoided it.”

Is it the cannabis or the staying on the couch eating Doritos that deters Covid?

This was tested in a petri dish. Lots of stuff works outside the body.

Hmmm, not sure about this as two friends of mine are big pot heads and caught it before the vaccines were available.

“according to a laboratory study published in the Journal of Nature Products.”

There’s a journal for you.

It didn't prevent the three pot smokers I know from getting covid. One thinks she got it from sharing a "blunt".

Wouldn't drawing weed smoke into infected lungs, then blowing it out into the room like an aerosol can... kinda defeat the purpose? I'm sure viruses ride smoke particles like surfboards.

I don't know, but a friend of mine was sharing a bong with her adult daughter and the daughter had Covid but didn't know it. They live in the same house. My friend got tested and never got Covid. It's a strange virus.

It can also turn lead into gold.

Fixed it for you

That's funny, r15. And yes, every pothead thinks it's some magical herb. It's got some benefits for sure, but it's not a panacea.

Hmm, depends on what you're panacea-ing from!

Someone say pancakes?

How come you're such a know-it-all about it?

Smoking weed offers no protection at all. Once again, the scientifically illiterate media got it wrong. From the article linked below:

...They discovered that three compounds in hemp “had this high ability to bind to the spike protein” that allow the novel coronavirus to enter human cells so easily and thus spread Covid-19 so quickly.

The three compounds are cannabidiolic acid (CBD-A), cannabigerolic acid (CBG-A), and tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THC-A). In cannabis biochemistry, acids are the biosynthetic precursors to the cannabinoids that activate receptors in humans, i.e. “get you high.” This means, in simple terms, the cannabis compounds studied in this research are not the cannabis compounds most weed users seek when they go to the dispensary.

And they are not the compounds you ingest when eating an edible or smoking a joint, because these acids are transformed when heat is applied—from THC-A to THC, from CBD-A to CBD, from CBG-A to CBD. And neither CBD, THC, nor CBG are “active against the virus,” van Breemen said.

As van Breemen told VICE, a “dietary supplement” such as a gummy or a tincture that contains all three of these compounds might help people stay healthy. (Crucially, the researchers could not study THC-A due to federal drug laws.)

But since most commercially available cannabis, whether sold in licensed stores or on the traditional market, has very little CBD or CBG, most commercially available cannabis won’t do a thing for your Covid-19 situation—and no cannabis will do anything if you smoke it.

So can a mask and social distancing, OP.

She may have had blood type O r13. Those of us with type O blood are much more resistant to infection in general but in particular, to covid.

Cool! I'm type O. Send me the facts about that, r24!

"Milk and Benadryl" is the new anti-vaxx hotness.

Don't forget to bring a towel.

Well I'm a stoner and I got it .

It wasn't bad.

No, that’s cause you ugly.

Oh, you meant COVID. My bad.

The image this conjured up in my mind has me rolling.

Little virus particles in board shorts with white suntan lotion on their little spikes while Let’s Go Surfin’ Now is playing in the background.

Oh, shit I’m dying here.

I been a daily smoker (mostly vape it on my volcano vaporizer) for almost 20 years now, I got covid on New Years Eve.

Here you go r25

Here you go r25

Not r25, but thank you for posting that. I'm O positive

OP- So does Vitamin D3

Goddamn Reefers.

R35, ffs, not this anti vaxxer nonsense again ...

Not anti vaxxer r37. Anti mRNA spike protein gene therapy.

I find it works much better if I use bleach in my bong rather than water.

mRNA might be a cure for cancer in the future ... but R35 / R38 will much rather die from cancer. One illiterate moron less at least.

R40 But the dopers already swore that cannabis was a cure for cancer. A cure for baldness. A cure for juggler's despair. And it even removes stains from nuVinyl.

They're all just obsessed with their narcotics, and it rots their brain as they sink deeper into addiction.

Toke up, R41

If weed could really prevent Covid LA would never have had the devastating numbers we did. I swear I’m the only person in this town who doesn’t partake

I need to find more ways to make money off stoned losers. They're so goddamn dumb when they're high.

But can I combine that with a homosexual customer base? Those fellas will buy ANYTHING!

r44 you're late to the party. thc lube already marketed. r43 r41 r39

Lisa Lampanelli says gays are good dinner guests because "Those guys will put anything in their mouths!"

the idiocy of both sides grossly oversimplifying this proves how needed it is for public education to focus on building comprehension and critical thinking skills.

And capitalization skills!

Cannabis can also save me from going insane.
