A team of Canadian scientists believe that cannabis can help prevent and treat Covid-19.
Researchers from the University of Lethbridge said that a study in April showed that at least 13 cannabis plants (CBD) appear to influence the streets of (ACE2) that the virus uses to penetrate the body, writes the New York Post.
We were first shocked, but after this study we were really happy”, Said one of the researchers, Olga Kovalchak.
Meanwhile, Kovalchuk's husband, Igor, suggested that cannabis could reduce the virus's entry points by 70%.
Our “Our work can have a huge impact, there are not many drugs that have the potential to reduce infection from 70-80%”, Calgary Herald said.
While they stressed that more research was needed, the study gave hope that cannabis, if proven that modulation of enzyme, could prove a reliable strategy for reducing the sensitivity of the disease, as well as becoming a useful and sure addition to the treatment of Ovid-19 as an additional therapy.
