I think the COVID prevention CBD study focused on creams, lotions and edible concoctions. I believe you lose most of the beneficial effects when you put that doob to flame. Apparently, CBGA and CBDA convert to "simple" CBD when put them to the flame. Hemp-derived CBGA and CBDA are the CBD compounds with the active COVID prevention effect, not CBD by itself.
Therefore, simple CBGA or CBDA creams and lotions applied to the hands and face may help prevent COVID infection through touching various objects/people and stopping the bug there. Orally edible CBGA and CBDA concoctions maybe help the body "stave-off" potential COVID infection and the deadly severe symptoms.
However, there maybe some preventative effect in handling the cannabis flower since some small percentage of those special CBD compounds would rub off on your hands and arms anyway.
No,
@Krissi1982 it is
NOT time yet to "roll in the hemp-type reefer", unless you have a massive outdoor grow and want complete nirvana going forward - or - have sacrificed yourself wholly to the Universal Multiverse - if that is the case, please post "video" of the sacrificial rights.
I think the main take way here is: specific hemp-derived CBD compounds show promise in combating COVID, although more study is needed.
Eat 'em if you got 'em.
