(26,250 posts)I went into it as a skeptic, but took it for severe anxiety, and it's made a world of difference. Admittedly, your state of mind can affect your immune system's response, but certainly NOT enough to make one immune to this horrific virus. It certainly didn't protect me from getting a cold virus, this year.

(39,343 posts)Sure it helps your frame of mind and that plays a huge role in wellness.
I also consume daily for several medicinal reasons (lupus, RA, myositos, anxiety...) and it saved my life.
That said, I'd like to see research on this before I give false hope.
Cannabis is damn near miraculous, but "damn near" isn't quite there yet. I do think it will help those with symptoms in varying degrees.
