Researchers from Oregon State University announced that certain compounds with cannabis are able to block the virus responsible for COVID-19 from penetrating human cells.
The study, led by Richard van Breemen of Oregon State's Global Hemp Innovation Center, College of Pharmacy, and Linus Pauling Institute, was published Monday in the Journal of Natural Products.
A pair of cannabinoid acids were found to bond with the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein and block a vital part of the process that allows the virus to infect people, van Breemen said.
"We identified several cannabinoid ligands and ranked them by affinity to the spike protein," van Breemen said.

Figures that the West Coasters would be the first to identify this therapeutic.

And if the FDA blocks the use of these compounds a la Ivermectin, you can always suck on a piece of rope.

I'm not a proponent of "dope", but this is wonderful news!! Hydroxycholoroquine and aspirin are among the many medicines that God has provided for us!

What should scare the sanctimonious vaxxx pushers is the cure of cbd in this case is basically not profitable, and Pharma doesn't have skin in this therapeutic. Bummer man. Sucks to be you big Pharma. LOLZ

Perhaps this explains why homeless encampments are not super spreader locations

Well, seeing as the best way to survive these times is to be as anesthetized as possible, I’d say that’s good news.

I can see where this is going.
Effective against COVID? Federal government mandates marijuana consumption for all citizens "to flatten the curve." Of course, a completely unintended side effect would be that no one would be paying attention to what this miserable collection governmental miscreants are doing any more.

Let's all get high. No wonder the rioters were allowed to mingle without masks. They were all high as a kite while burning businesses.

“Everybody must get stoned”
And stoned people tend to be complacent people. See the connection?

Legal sales of Cannabis are down. Time for some powerful advertising. If it works, the downside is that your brain will resemble Biden's bowl of mush.

Is there anything that legal dope can't do? It is a wonder drug like aspirin!

Not a chance the FDA will censor this one. Way too many potheads working in the government. This article did make me chuckle though. Seriously, OSU has been in the forefront of a lot of breakthrough science, thanks to the late Linus Pauling working at this university.

Yeah, and probably fentanyl, too. How about using heroin as a "vaccine"? Probably less dangerous than the mRNA shots.
I call BS.
