let's not let a single thing get in the way of our being healthy. Stoned it is.

but it's fun to suspect that "one person's vice is another's pleasure" in a very different way.

I'd guess that, even if the compounds are proven to be effective against Covid infections through replicated studies and peer reviews, there will be a national resistance to the facts. "Cannabis just CAN'T be beneficial!"

If we didn't smoke it ourselves, we all knew people who did. Am I right?
Some of us even grew our own.

From the Oregonian article:

https://www.oregonlive.com/coronavirus/2022/01/hemp-compounds-could-prevent-covid-19-from-infecting-cells-oregon-research-finds.html
“I think it’s theoretically achievable with products that exist,” van Breemen said, “but we need to do the experiments to prove that.”

For people thinking of getting these compounds, which are legal, before those experiments happen, van Breemen notes that heat treatment converts CBDA into CBD, which is not useful in the same way.

“That’s also why smoking a CBDA product may not lead to much CBDA reaching the body,” he said, “because it’s going to be changed by heat.”

Third-party lab testing can show which products actually contain CBDA and CBGA.

But she came down with COVID back in October. Mild case, but she still got it.
Perhaps it's the dosage and preparation of the compounds as opposed to buying something from a commercial dispensary.
