A new study from Oregon State University has suggested that the compounds found in Hemp may be beneficial in recovering against SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes Covid-19.
The study was led by Richard van Breemen at OSU and it was discovered that cannabis prevents infection of the virus by blocking it’s entry into cells. The two compounds that show promise are cannabigerolic acid and cannabidiolic acid, also known as CBGA and CBDA.
