Interesting article, nice post. I'm not at all surprised. I haven't been sick with as much as a cold in years. I simply never get sick. And I'm vaccinated, yes, but not surprised it can help fight Covid too. I believe it has a general insulating effect on the entire immune system. No proof, just a theory. But that seems to be how it is with me and many others I know who smoke daily.Cannabis Compounds Prevented Covid Infection in Laboratory Study

Cannabis compounds prevented the virus that causes Covid-19 from penetrating healthy human cells, according to a laboratory study published in the Journal of Nature Products.
The two compounds commonly found in hemp -- called cannabigerolic acid, or CBGA, and cannabidiolic acid, or CBDA -- were identified during a chemical screening effort as having potential to combat coronavirus, researchers from Oregon State University said. In the study, they bound to spike proteins found on the virus and blocked a step the pathogen uses to infect people.
The researchers tested the compounds’ effect against alpha and beta variants of the virus in a laboratory. The study didn’t involve giving the supplements to people or comparing infection rates in those who use the compounds to those who don’t.
Hemp is a source of fiber, food and animal feed, and extracts are commonly added to cosmetics, body lotions, dietary supplements and food.
“These compounds can be taken orally and have a long history of safe use in humans,” said Richard van Breemen, a researcher with Oregon State’s Global Hemp Innovation Center. “They have the potential to prevent as well as treat infection by SARS-CoV-2,” he said in a statement.
Hope she finds that it works for her.Dry herb vaping does, she's never smoked it as far as I know. I can vape a lot more than she can, and she can take doses of edibles that would put me in an hallucinatory state, and likely trigger an anxiety attack.
I'll be giving her some of the sublingual doses I'm making to test out. It doesn't go through the liver to get to the bloodstream, so it might work better for her.
No kidding. We had a long talk about it yesterday. She's looking at options.I'm so glad to hear your mom is okay, but someone needs to report that doctor to the medical board for a bit of extra training.
Yup. Exactly!the natural fat in the guac kicked it off. the thc bound to the fat and entered your bloodstream faster as a result. avocado and a few other foods will do that.
If it's the THC giving relief then perhaps not? My takeaway is that some livers process the THC so fast it doesn't have time to work it's magic.I'm this way, too. In order to kick off my high, I smoke some flower about half hour after the edible is eaten and that seems to kick off the high for me from the edible.
This article was about not getting high from edibles but I'd be interested to find out whether patients who take cannabis orally (aka edible) for pain get any relief for that pain?
Lol. I'll smoke to that.Highya VG,
Here's to the good times!! Happy Smokin'
It could have been much worse. She's relaxing and watching Wheel of Fortune right now.Yep! Like I was already way high and didn't know it. I am Polish so...

It's readily available in vegging plants. Weed Seeds Express has a CBG Citrus Nectar but I haven't been able to get my hands on it yet. It's always sold out.Interesting that they were testing the acid form of the cannabinoids. And when would you harvest to get CBGa? Isn't that the precursor to most of the other cannabinoids?
I have kids so my life is a giant petri dish. Seems that I catch just about everything that comes through here.Interesting article, nice post. I'm not at all surprised.

Another reason to eat raw fan leaves I guess. Maybe I should stop putting them in the salve bin then...It's readily available in vegging plants.

Pretty bitter, though. Need something pretty flavorful to mask the taste.Another reason to eat raw fan leaves I guess. Maybe I should stop putting them in the salve bin then...
True on the CBDa or THCa, but as VG pointed out above, if you want the CBGa you need to be noshing on the plant in veg.Pretty bitter, though. Need something pretty flavorful to mask the taste.
Plus, there are many more of the various cannabinoids on the flowers and sugar leaves than in the raw leaves. I guess if you're just going to compost them when you trim that'd be ok, but that's not for me.
They're working on plants that maintain a higher level of CBGa, even in flower. I wasn't interested myself, but give me a while and I might be able to find where it was mentioned. Might come up in a google search too.True on the CBDa or THCa, but as VG pointed out above, if you want the CBGa you need to be noshing on the plant in veg.
And I had a spoonful of the oil this morning after the first run and it tasted better than the decarbed CBD oil I keep under my tongue every morning!
I think it's more about tieing up the liver with distractions so the THC can slide on by. So taking it with, or after, a meal helps,If it's the THC giving relief then perhaps not? My takeaway is that some livers process the THC so fast it doesn't have time to work it's magic.
She is. I stepped back on the nutes. Now she's looking a bit washed out.Very happy! Even Doug looks like it's putting on some nice new growth.
Glad to see youHey VG,
Shed pointed me over here. I read the same article yesterday on the web. Very interesting stuff.
I've been using most of my harvest in the acidic versions. I usually chop it up, stick it in some fresh olive oil and put it on my daily salads. I've found it works great that way for me.
I've been doing it that way since I read stuff from Dr William Courtney who is researching and treating patients with the plant in this manner.
He recommends juicing the raw leaves daily and thinks everyone should include it in their diet as a "dietary essential."
He says that, since there is no psychoactive effect, that one can take a much higher dose than one could if it is heated.
No. Probably not terribly good for you.Makes me wish I didn't have to spray so much on my plants in veg to keep them bug free. Not sure I want to be eating raw neem oil or potassium salts of fatty acids no matter how much rinsing I do!
What!?!? You don't eat salad? Is this like the sugar thing or do you just not enjoy salads?I'd need to eat salad for that to work...
So I hear! VG went looking for CBG Citrus Nectar that she mentioned above @Weed Seeds Express but they don't seem to have keep them in stock.They're working on plants that maintain a higher level of CBGa, even in flower. I wasn't interested myself, but give me a while and I might be able to find where it was mentioned. Might come up in a google search too.
This ↑ though I do eat some if it's on the table, but usually without dressing. I'm not sure I'll be able to convince anyone to use my CBDa EVOO either way! I'm fine with it raw since I can handle the decarbed stuff that makes others go ewwww.do you just not enjoy salads?
There is a really high CBG strain called CBG Citrus Nectar. Think is about 15% CBG.Just can't get my greedy lil hands on it...yet.They're working on plants that maintain a higher level of CBGa, even in flower. I wasn't interested myself, but give me a while and I might be able to find where it was mentioned. Might come up in a google search too.
