According to a new study by researchers affiliated with Oregon State University, compounds found in cannabis can prevent the virus that causes COVID-19 from infecting human cells.The researchers found that two compounds, cannabigerolic acid and cannabidiolic acid , could prevent COVID-19 infection by gumming up the spike proteins of the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, which the virus uses to enter cells.
The researchers tested the compounds against the"alpha" and"beta" variants of the virus in human cells in a lab, and van Breeman said they"hope that trend will extend to other existing and future variants" of the virus, according to KVAL-TV, adding that"the combination of vaccination and CBDA/CBGA treatment should make for a much more challenging environment for SARS-CoV-2.
