Reminder that CBD and its metabolites (but not THC, which seems to actually impair this effect) seem to both inhibit infection as well as replication after infected

Strikingly, only 1.2% of the patients prescribed CBD contracted SARS-CoV-2 whereas 12.2% of the matched, non-cannabinoid patients tested positive (p=0.009), suggesting a potential reduction in SARS-CoV-2 infection risk of approximately an order of magnitude.

i still think it's wild that this study exists and has essentially had 0 impact whatsoever on people taking CBD as a covid prophylactic

but like, ivermectin, hydroxyquinone or whatever? people were eating that shit up. CBD is basically one of the safest drugs that exist, so if it can cause a 90% reduction in infection incidence and severity without causing you to shit out your intestines why the fuck aren't people on this shit?? That's HUGE

Unless some studies have come out indicating that this one i've linked is bullshit I legitimately do not understand the lack of attention it gets. Breaks my fucking mind.

If nothing else you'd think the CBD industry would have run with this because aren't we massively over producing ("over producing" in the capitalist sense where they have to mulch so much of it to keep prices up) weed???
