Reminder that CBD and its metabolites (but not THC, which seems to actually impair this effect) seem to both inhibit infection as well as replication after infected
Strikingly, only 1.2% of the patients prescribed CBD contracted SARS-CoV-2 whereas 12.2% of the matched, non-cannabinoid patients tested positive (p=0.009), suggesting a potential reduction in SARS-CoV-2 infection risk of approximately an order of magnitude.
i still think it's wild that this study exists and has essentially had 0 impact whatsoever on people taking CBD as a covid prophylactic
but like, ivermectin, hydroxyquinone or whatever? people were eating that shit up. CBD is basically one of the safest drugs that exist, so if it can cause a 90% reduction in infection incidence and severity without causing you to shit out your intestines why the fuck aren't people on this shit?? That's HUGE
Unless some studies have come out indicating that this one i've linked is bullshit I legitimately do not understand the lack of attention it gets. Breaks my fucking mind.
If nothing else you'd think the CBD industry would have run with this because aren't we massively over producing ("over producing" in the capitalist sense where they have to mulch so much of it to keep prices up) weed???
Ngl I kinda think my heavy weed habit (addiction? I'll face that later) has helped me dodge covid so far, along with the regular measures like masking, vaccines, being a hermit, etc.
I'm not doing it any longer, but I started vaping CBD about 8 10 months after my infection and a whole bunch symptoms I wasn't even clocking as being covid related (GI issues, non-stop heartburn, panic attacks, issues with my running, focusing issues) turned off like a light switch. Totally anecdotal, and possibly coincidental, I know. But honestly, I'd still be vaping CBD if it didn't bring it's own mental focus related issues for me.
feel like shit holy hell.

Did the symptoms come back when you stopped vaping the CBD?
They didn't. I vaped for about 6 months.
