CBD and covid

Spotted this on Twitter, seems to look as though there have been a few studies going on with CBD and covid.

The researchers strove to identify the mechanism through which CBD inhibited infection; while they found a negligible effect at the point at which viruses enter cells, they found CBD to be “very effective” at preventing protein expression in cells two and six hours after infection, and “partially effective” at doing so 15 hours after infection. They also found that CBD’s metabolite, 7-OH-CBD—the compound created in the body when CBD is processed in the liver and intestines—has similar antiviral effect and was non-toxic to cells.
The actual paper is here for anyone who fancies a read (or critique, I know that CBD gets touted for all sorts of things, some legit, some less so).
