CBD might help prime cells against COVID
"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
No, CBD won't cure Covid. Here's what that study actually found
“The researchers found that these specific cannabinoids discouraged the Covid-19 protein from penetrating human cells. At certain levels of potency, CBDA and CBGA were able to reduce viral infections—in a petri dish—by half. The concentrations of CBDA or CBGA needed to block infection in actual humans by half ‘is high,’ wrote the authors, ‘but might be clinically achievable.’”

CBD prevented COVID-19 infection in patients, according to new study
"..survey of 1,212 U.S. patients taking prescribed CBD to help manage seizures found that patients who took 100 milligrams-per-milliliter oral doses of CBD were less likely to get positive COVID-19 test compared to a control group that did not take CBD"

Oral CBD Prevented COVID-19 Infection in Real-World Patients, Study Suggests
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.

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"
