Robust evidence to support further studies of CBD as Covid prevention. "CBD could be used prophylactically in contrast to recent anti-viral drugs... CBD blocks viral replication after entry into cells and, thus, is likely to be effective against variants"
"This suggests CBD at the right dose could help cells be in a better state of readiness to respond to a virus, but it doesn't cause a response unless there is a need." CBD might help prime cells against COVID
CBD is a potent blocker of SARS-CoV-2 replication in human cells, new research shows.
In even better news, a survey of real-world patients taking prescribed CBD found a “significant” negative relationship between CBD consumption and COVID-19 infection.
from 2022 "researchers found that two cannabinoid acids commonly found in hemp varietals of cannabis, cannabigerolic acid, or CBGA, and cannabidiolic acid, also known as CBDA, can bind to the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes Covid-19."
