THC Shows Promise in Treating Severe Cases of COVID-19

Over the last few months, various headlines have emerged suggesting the potential for cannabinoids, and in particular, cannabidiol (CBD) to treat the often deadly inflammation caused by COVID-19 known as acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Now, researchers have begun exploring another popular cannabinoid- tetrahydrocannabinol, the psychoactive compound in cannabis- for the same effects.

For the study, the researchers exposed two groups of healthy mice to a bacterial infection called Staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB), known to cause mostly fatal cases of ARDS in mice. In this case, the researchers treated one of the groups with THC immediately after being infected by SEB, alongside doses 24 and 48 hours afterward.

Just take the CBD oil after you have cottonmouth from the bong hits.

The CBD oil mellows the buzz. I take it for sleep as well as joint pain. It really works for me.

It’s a solid business plan. Spend millions of dollars getting pot legalized. Make billions of dollars selling pot legally. Fund studies showing pot cures everything. Make billions more selling medicinal pot. Can’t wait to see what’s next. There’s gold in that weed.

The good news is people don’t have to wait for the FDA and can buy gummy bears today.

Yay! No Corona Virus for me. If the government didn’t schedule vicodin, I probably would be a COVID statistic.

Our ugly obese neighbor told my wife that smoking dope helped with her itchy vagina as well. You just can’t argue with a genuine testimonial like that. They need to start adding THC to Vagisil.

One of my family members who only smoked ultra high grade super expensive leaf of 26-31% THCA was part of a legal CBD grow here in middle TN last summer

Three acres....they were all gonna get rich

A whole lot of hot sun work later

Most of the crop got too hot with THC and had to be “destroyed”

Well it turns out it’s about 8-10% THC but with extraordinary levels of CBD

and so these esoteric leaf heads sample this lower grade stuff and determine damn....they really like it

You have to smoke a bit more but the very high CBD makes it a very relaxing body stone some of them had never experienced

They had I think half a ton of it....a lot went to the edibles markets

The CBD price around here collapsed from way too much supply

Not nearly as many grows this summer
