Has anyone hear of these studies going around? I’ve been seeing a lot of articles pop up recently and it really has me thinking! In the beginning we were told smoking was a big risk, but now there is contradiction saying the opposite. It’s actually interesting but the study is suggesting that cannabis extracts containing THC and CBD could prevent the virus from infecting human cells.
It was published online at Preprints by a team of biologists, all legally licensed to grow. It stares in fewer words:
[They used 13 different cannabis oils extracted from newer strains and discovered that certain oils that contained the cannabinoids CBD & THC can actually lower human cell production of 2 key proteins that serve as gateways for the virus to enter the body and cause infection.
It’s an airborne virus as we know, and scientists say as it travels into a new host it stabs into the protein in the body called ACE2. Another protein made by the body TMPRSS2 causes the virus spike, ripping the cell open allowing it to enter. Once the virus is in the cell it hijacks the cells DNA and forces the cell to make so many copies that the cell eventually explodes and releases a swarm of new coronaviruses that end up infecting other cells. The study suggests that cannabinoids can “tune down” the genes that produce, regulars and activists both proteins ACE2 and TMPRSS2. So basically weeed oils could block the virus from being able to infect people all together.]
I’ve read about 3-4 studies on this topic so far and it’s definitely interesting... wondering what everyone’s thoughts are?
