BOTTOM LINE:
The study found promising results that certain CBD strains could lower the number of cells that the virus can infect. The researchers think this should be seen as reason for further research, not taken as fact.

This study has nothing to do with the recreational use of marijuana - and shouldn’t be an excuse for people to smoke it.

A less-entertaining headline might read that: A Canadian study found certain CBD strains could lower the chances of COVID infection - but more research is needed.
