Cannabis sativa to the rescue!

(Hard)CORVALLIS, Ore. (KTVZ) – Hemp compounds identified by Oregon State University research with a chemical screening technique invented at OSU show the ability to prevent the virus that causes COVID-19 from entering human cells.

Findings of the study led by Richard van Breemen, a researcher with Oregon State’s Global Hemp Innovation Center, College of Pharmacy and Linus Pauling Institute, were published today in the Journal of Natural Products.

Hemp, known scientifically as Cannabis sativa, is a source of fiber, food and animal feed, and multiple hemp extracts and compounds are added to cosmetics, body lotions, dietary supplements and food, van Breemen said.

Van Breemen and collaborators, including scientists at Oregon Health & Science University, found that a pair of cannabinoid acids bind to the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, blocking a critical step in the process the virus uses to infect people.

The compounds are cannabigerolic acid, or CBGA, and cannabidiolic acid, CBDA, and the spike protein is the same drug target used in COVID-19 vaccines and antibody therapy.

The approvals of vaccines for children were based on studies that were grossly underpowered to measure either benefits or known harms.

Fully vaccinated here, but then, how'd @santacruzin catch it? Not puffing enough while in the EU? I told you to come on down and get fully vapped/vaxxed!

"Gripalizacion" of the pandemic is what certain media outlets are calling for locally, surely spurred by certain interests.

It means converting the "pandemic" conversation into a chat about the flu.

see, in the state I'm in right now, I would have demanded he take a swing at me like a man, or shut his mouth and walk away

Although i did yoga this morning so maybe i'm a little calmer
Always be careful with these challenges… because you never know who has skills. It would be pretty embarrassing to throw down this gauntlet and get dropped.

You seem to get a lot of information from Twitter
The information I get from mainstream news sources is interpreted by a journalist who doesn't understand the primary source. On Twitter, you can go directly to the primary source. I'm better-off reading Monica Ghandi directly than listening to an interpretation of Monica Ghandi by a journalism major who may be interleaving political and editorial concerns into the article.

Also, I've talked to the press before and what I said was nowhere near what appeared in the article. Journalism has a big honesty problem. But Monica Ghandi sticks to the truth.
