During the study, the scientists tested the marijuana compounds’ effect against alpha and beta variants of coronavirus. “These compounds can be taken orally and have a long history of safe use in humans,” van Breemen said, according to
Bloomberg.
“They are not controlled substances like THC, the psychoactive ingredient in marijuana, and have a good safety profile in humans,” he
added. “And our research showed the hemp compounds were equally effective against variants of SARS-CoV-2, including variant B.1.1.7, which was first detected in the United Kingdom, and variant B.1.351, first detected in South Africa.”
Not to mention that
Cannabigerol (CBG) has a variety of beneficial medical effects on the human body including curing certain diseases.
There is much more data to be studied with the potential of finding more data on preventing SARS-CoV-2 by consuming marijuana.
