New Canadian Study Says Marijuana May Prevent The Coronavirus




According to a study being conducted at Canada’s University of Lethbridge, scientists are now theorizing that certain marijuana strains could possibly prevent COVID-19 infection.

Researchers at the Calgary college have studied over 400 strains of weed and have concluded that at least a dozen strains aided in preventing the Coronavirus from finding a host in the mouth, intestines, and lungs.

IL is legal, & we've had med cards for a few years.
Pricey, but legal.

We will all be healthy AND happy.

I'm all for it.

I wish I knew how to get it on a ballot in NC for voters to decide instead of those prudes in the NCLEG. We still don't even have medical marijuana even now.
