MARIJUANA PREVENTS COVID?_ Could the key to beating COVID-19 be marijuana? It may sound like a cannabis user’s dream, but researchers from Oregon State University find certain hemp compounds can indeed prevent the virus that causes COVID-19 from entering human cells.
… The study finds that a pair of cannabinoid acids in cannabis sativa (hemp) bind to the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, consequently preventing a critical step in the COVID-19 infection process. (More specifically, those two compounds are cannabigerolic acid (CBGA) and cannabidiolic acid (CBDA).) The spike protein that those two cannabinoid acids bind to is the very same viral destination COVID-19 vaccines and antibody therapies target.

… The study’s lead researcher says the cannabinoid acids “are abundant in hemp and in many hemp extracts” and “are not controlled substances like THC, the psychoactive ingredient in marijuana.”

Homegrown w/Brent + Nikki can be heard weekdays from 5:30-10am on Country 104.7fm, online at KKRV.com or on the Audacy app.
