CANNABIS & COVID TREATMENT

Pre-Clinical Possibilities of Cannabis Benefits

"To-date there are no clinical trials providing us with specific evidence-based information to make more practical or discerning decisions about cannabis use for covid. So, any claims of cannabis being a cure or a detriment in the treatment context of patients with COVID-19 are presently unsubstantiated by clinical trials. However, in the pre-clinical setting, the most studied cannabis constituent in the context of corona viral diseases is CBD, followed by THC and then by the terpene eucalyptol."

  • Anti-Inflammatory and Antiviral Effects of Cannabinoids in Inhibiting
    and Preventing SARS-CoV-2 Infection - PubMed  - April 10, 2022
    Considering the fact that the SARS-CoV-2 virus causes excessive immune response and triggers an inflammatory cascade, and that cannabinoids have the ability to regulate these processes, it can be assumed that they have potential to be used in the treatment of COVID-19.

  • Opportunities, Challenges and Pitfalls of Using Cannabidiol as an
    Adjuvant Drug in COVID-19 - PubMed  - Feb 17, 2021
    Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection may lead to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) which, in turn, may be associated with multiple organ dysfunction. In this review, we present advantages and disadvantages of cannabidiol (CBD), a non-intoxicating phytocannabinoid from the cannabis plant, as a potential agent for the treatment of COVID-19.
