Weeding out the Virus: Cannabis Might Prevent You Catching
Covid - Study
Compounds commonly found in hemp have the potential to combat
coronavirus, according to a new study by Oregon State Univ.
Researchers claim cannabigerolic and cannabidiolic acid have
prevented the virus that causes Covid-19 from penetrating
healthy human cells.
"These compounds can be taken orally and have a long history of
safe use in humans," said Richard van Breemen, a researcher
with Oregon State's Global Hemp Innovation Center. "They have
the potential to prevent as well as treat infection by SARS-
CoV-2," he said in a statement.
