TEL AVIV – An Israeli hospital will begin testing COVID-19 patients with medicinal cannabis, which is known to have anti-viral properties, as part of a new experimental treatment.
Researchers are investigating cannabidiol, the non-psychoactive component of cannabis also known as CBD, can slow down the spread of the virus and stop moderate patients from turning critical.
Dozens of COVID-19 patients in moderate condition at Ichilov Medical Center in Tel Aviv are expected to be treated.
Barak Cohen, a senior anesthesiologist who is in charge of managing the hospital’s coronavirus response, stressed the treatment would alleviate symptoms by using “a component of the cannabis plant that is considered safe and non-addictive.”
Separately, researchers at Tel Aviv University have begun developing a CBD-based drug that has been shown to be effective against inflammation for coronavirus-infected lung cells.

I doubt it works, but whatever gives them the giggles
Any stock recommendations in a Israeli pizza roll company?
Sheesh...sounds like EVERYTHING cures Covid from all the articles posted here. Maybe, just maybe it is NOT as bad as they say?
CBD is non-psychoactive. No high.
Israel has been doing various clinical trials regarding cannabis and its components since the sixties, and they actually prescribe it regularly. I was using CBD to help me sleep, but it interacts negatively with Prograf, so I had to cease.
Ohh! Scooby Snacks!
Ohh! Scooby Snacks!
pot or Covid?
Maybe most folks are full of ****
“I doubt it works, but whatever gives them the giggles”
Why do you doubt it? Are you a Doctor or bio-chemist?
I’ve been testing cannabis for 40 years... completely safe.
Hmmm..there is going to be lots of Bagel Bites Pizza and Rolling Stones “Hava Nagila” blaring. Party on Israel!
I wonder the reaction by MSM had Trump mentioned this might be tried.
Well, it comes in such a variety of forms now, with different ratios of CBD to THC and various terpenes which not only have different flavors, but different benefits... Personally though, I wouldn’t smoke it. I’d probably stick with oil or an edible, but the vaporizer would be okay. It’ll go into effect more quickly when inhaled, but I don’t want all of that soot from burning plant material.
Honestly, it’s not the addictive, destructive thing that people assume it is. The only recreational drug out there that is less physiologically addictive is LSD, which doesn’t create a dependency.
I wish I still had access to that article, but my nephrologist gave me that login info almost fifteen years ago, and I don’t remember the journal or the authors.
I take CBD oil for back and knee pain. It works a lot better and faster than ibuprofen.
If you accept that the Wuhanic Plague is man-made, then it would follow that as infectious and deadly as the Whu Flu is, it’s Frankenstein’s monster nature makes it fragile, and easily disrupted. I suspect that a whole host of medications can prevent it from reproducing in the human body.
Far out, man.
Cbd would work as an immunosuppressant to stop the white blood cells from killing the lung cells for example. So i think you take it in place of and it’d work like hydrochloquine and you’d take the zinc and z pack. You got to take a big dose but you aren’t going to die off you overdose abit. It might not be as far fetched as one might initially think.
