I gotta tell ya, I'm hesitant to disbelieve someone as knowledgeable and informed as the gentleman who posted that claim and happens to run this joint. He's not someone to make unfounded claims or exaggerate. That would be irresponsible and not something he would do.
you seem pleasant as ever, pikachu!

I don't blame any country for refusing to allow Americans across their borders. Most countries have things under control and decreasing while Covid is increasing at an alarming rate across the United States. It makes perfect sense to deny entry to people from a country with out of control Covid.

It's embarrassing as an American to see the pathetic response we've had.

Americans on private jet denied entry to Sardinia

The private jet — which took off from Colorado with 11 would-be holidaymakers on board — arrived in Cagliari airport on Wednesday morning, according to the Cagliari Police spokesperson.

Put what in my pipe? That study doesn't prove anything.

They got $1.1 billion CAD to do a study using 3d models. The study wasn't performed on human patients or even a lab rat but a damn 3d model. And then all they can say is "may help", and "warrant further investigation". But they got $1.1 billion CAD from the Canadian government. As I said before. It's all about getting government money.

When they have finished their studies and published the results then I'll take another look. Until then it's just a study.

Study results indicated hemp extracts high in CBD may help block proteins that provide a “gateway” for COVID-19 to enter host cells.

Our initial findings warrant further investigation but it’s possible that medical cannabis products could become a safe adjunct therapy for the treatment of COVID-19,” Dr. Kovalchuk added.

Pathway Rx has actively been seeking funding and partners for more research into cannabinoid-based formulations to treat coronavirus. The company recently secured $1.1 billion CAD from the Canadian government to support scientific initiatives related to COVID-19.



I'm more inclined to go with the Israeli's on this and their research that CBD can help with steroid treatment but CBD alone is not a cure.

Israeli startup Stero Therapeutics says cannabis component could enhance steroid treatment or enable reduced steroid dosage to avoid negative effects.

Stero aims to determine if CBD, the non-psychoactive component in cannabis, can enhance the effect of corticosteroids — the first line of treatment for autoimmune illnesses like inflammatory bowel disease and lupus — or enable reducing steroid dosage while maintaining or improving its therapeutic effects.

You are too funny. I suppose you are in the bleach and chloriquin crowd. That is the language actual scientists use. The ones who don't want to make claims not yet peer reviewed or backed by completed studies. But it is way beyond internet rumor. Is it a peer reviewed treatment? No, of course not. But it is how science gets there.

So put your political agenda in a pipe and blow it.....

What political agenda was in my post? As far as the bleach and other nonsense I was embarrassed by that nonsense when the moron said it.

If you read the results of what they call a study they have nothing to say other than "It May" and "Warrants more investigation".

The study was conducted by a company in Canada called Pathway RX that obviously has ties to the Canadian government and obtained a grant for $1.1 billion CAD. They used strains that are licensed by their partner Sundial Growers which is a publicly traded company. If there is anything political it's these guys lobbying the Canadian government for grant money.

"The extracts of our most successful and novel high CBD C. sativa lines, pending further investigation, may become a useful and safe addition to the treatment of COVID-19 as an adjunct therapy."

They already have licensed strains they're using. It's big money moving in and licensing cannabis for medical products. People talk about Monsanto these guys are doing the same things.

Never let a crisis go to waste. Half the scientists in the world are hiring grant writers to try and cash in on all the money governments are throwing out.


I never said CBD wouldn't be one of many tools in treating Covid-19. Did you even bother to read the link I posted to the Israeli company Stero? They are studying using CBD in combination with other treatments using actual patients. That seems like a more legitimate path than these guys doing studies with artificial 3D models after getting $1.1 billion CAD to fund their study and pay themselves a big salary.

I don't know where you came up with I had a political agenda with my post and was in the bleach crowd but you're so far off base it's ridiculous. Yeah, I believe the earth is flat, only 10,000 years old, and when I see chemtrails in the sky I run inside and hide under my tinfoil blanket.

I believe that their study will not bear any work of significant value but hey, they get to keep that $1.1 billion CAD. If you can't see that it's about the money...
