Can medical cannabis keep you safe from COVID? After listening to a podcast about the medical benefits of smoking weed I started to do some online research, i wasn’t looking for firsthand accounts from stoners, I was after medical research from professionals.
I found some absolutely interesting information, but as of yet I haven’t found conclusive evidence that convinced myself and others a single way or the other, however there is so much misinformation floating around online that I have to be absolutely careful about what I take to heart, however from my own personal experience, I can say that throughout the whole pandemic I smoked medical cannabis almost every single day. I frequently came into contact with other people, some of whom had contracted COVID. In fact, I tested 3 different people who had COVID, in addition to I never caught it myself, possibly because of my frequent medical cannabis use. I am absolutely lucky that I had an established account with the local medical cannabis dispensary when the lockdown started. They had my payment information on file, in addition to knew myself and others personally, so I could still contact the cannabis budtenders while the quarantine was ongoing, after the first few weeks I was allowed to get curbside pickup for medical cannabis at the local shop, but since the people I was with and I were locked down for so long I relied heavily on medical cannabis to keep myself from getting cottage fever. If it turns out that the medical cannabis I smoked to get stoned also offered myself and others a level of protection against the virus, after that I am doubly lucky… Yet another benefit to medical cannabis
