Abstract
As a complement to vaccines, small-molecule therapeutic agents are needed to treat or prevent infections by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) and its variants, which cause COVID-19. Affinity selection-mass spectrometry was used for the discovery of botanical ligands to the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein. Cannabinoid acids from hemp (Cannabis sativa) were found to be allosteric as well as orthosteric ligands with micromolar affinity for the spike protein. In follow-up virus neutralization assays, cannabigerolic acid and cannabidiolic acid prevented infection of human epithelial cells by a pseudovirus expressing the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein and prevented entry of live SARS-CoV-2 into cells. Importantly, cannabigerolic acid and cannabidiolic acid were equally effective against the SARS-CoV-2 alpha variant B.1.1.7 and the beta variant B.1.351. Orally bioavailable and with a long history of safe human use, these cannabinoids, isolated or in hemp extracts, have the potential to prevent as well as treat infection by SARS-CoV-2.

this is SCIENCE. = systematized knowledge.
it is ILLEGAL at the FDA and CDC,
where the authors are drowned tied to bricks like on Synnax.
Smoke’em if you have them, at least take toke on it
Errrrybody must get stoned ;)
Block? By how much? Article doesn’t say. 10%? 50? 75%?
And what dose and freauency?
Skip that. Go straight to the Cheetos.
I don’t think those compounds are the ones that get you high.
I would not feel so all alone....
Everybody must get STONED!

1%.......i’m in....
Just about everything prevents Covid19…. Except the Jab.
Male pattern baldness, ingrown toenails, ED, cronic vaginitis,
now CV19 theraputic. Is there nothing marijuana won’t cure?
The Miracle Drug./S
It’s a peer reviewed study in a reputable publication.
It’s not some hippie spouting off at a cannabis festival.
Marijuanna has a long proven history of weakening one’s immune system, although those studies have been stopped and hidden away in recent years. Michael Savage used to talk about it all the time on his show.
This must be why I’ve stayed well for all this time.
We're getting mixed messages on marijuana versus CV19.
Insights welcome.
I could have used these talking points back in the day when my parents found my little stash of seeds and a pipe 😁
Wife and I have smoked it for 4 decades. Both our doctors recently described our lungs as “perfect”, and our health as unusually good, their descriptions without being asked.
You don't even know how to spell Marijuana.
