    still think it’s wild that i read both a study and a follow up indicating CBD actually inhibits covid from 1) binding to begin with and 2) replicating inside the cells and had a pretty significant effect (infections reduced by an order of magnitude) and im still the only person i’ve ever seen bring it up in any context when you’d think the stoner “weed cures everything” crowd would have latched onto it and when you’d think people would be ALL ABOUT a cheap prophylactic treatment that you essentially cannot overdose on compared to “let me take the horse paste and poop out my intestines”

        I don’t have it saved and i gotta go mow my stupid yard but this is similar

        https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7987002/

        It looks like someone did eventually talk about it enough for there to be a snopes page for it where they say yea dawg that’s a true fact

        Im on my phone and that site loads so fucking slow but i think they might have linked to the stuff talking about CBD binding to the spike protein, inhibiting its ability to enter cells, whereas the first link only talks about various immune processes getting affected

        Anyway yea i think it’s pretty fucked to death crazy that CBD seems to lower infections by up to 90% and it’s gotten exactly 0% of the attention ivermectin, something that can easily kill you, has
