Can cannabis help fight COVID-19?

Certain compounds found in marijuana prevented the COVID-19 virus from
penetrating human cells, according to a laboratory study published this week, in
the Journal of Nature Products. The researchers found that two compounds found
in hemp – cannabigerolic acid and cannabidiolic, labelled CBGA and CBDA
respectively, bind to the SARS-CoV-2 spike, blocking the deadly virus from
infecting people.

The study was led by Richard van Breemen – a researcher with Oregon State’s
Global Hemp Innovation Center in the College of Pharmacy and Linus Pauling
Institute, in collaboration with scientists at the Oregon Health & Science
University. 

In a statement, Van Breeman said “These compounds are common and readily
available and can be taken orally and have a long history of safe use in
humans.” He also noted that resistant variants of the virus could still emerge
amid the widespread use of cannabinoids but the combination of vaccines and CBDA
and CBGA treatment could make it even more difficult for the virus to infect
people.
