Former NFL All-Pro Claims CBD Can Prevent And Cure COVID-19

Kyle Turley, a former NFL All-Pro offensive tackle who played nine seasons, says after he retired, he opened a premium CBD company and marijuana dispensary to help other football veterans. Now, he claims that cannabinoids are a miracle cure for many viruses and diseases, including COVID-19. He even tweeted that CBD can prevent and cure COVID-19.

TELL DR. PHIL YOUR STORY: Are you involved in a story making headlines?

Is there any science to support his claims? Or is he giving people false hope? Hear his heated discussion with Dr. Phil in the video above.

Whenever I'm in need of medical advice, my go-to is always an offensive lineman. The longer the career and the more time since retirement, the better!

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.

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.
