What If Weed Could Prevent or Cure Covid?

How fast would it become legal then?

“Since the pandemic sent a lot of people home and kept them there for long periods of time, many didn’t have anything to do besides get high and watch reruns of Tiger King while doom-scrolling. That coupled with the fact that people were spending less on going out, meant that more people have excess money to spend. Because of this, 2020 is expected to see a major jump in weed revenue across the country since now over 10 states have legalized cannabis.” (Source: @Aigner Loren Wilson)

But, what if cannabis could kill the virus or at least keep it away! That would be something, wouldn’t it? The more you smoke, eat or otherwise use, the more protected you are. That would make it legal in no time. Just recently I found that CBD in a salve form cured a yeast infection I had.

And another upside, people would be happy instead of doom-scrolling endlessly. I don’t want any anger at me about this as they would still use their masks, social distance, wash hands, etc. but it would be in a happier way. They wouldn’t feel forced into it.

Everyone would feel free, happy, in a good mood, and the restaurants would still be in business, because, you know, people like to eat when cannabis is used.

We now have four vaccinations that are being used.

The biggest vaccination campaign in history is underway. More than 458 million doses have been administered across 134 countries, according to data collected by Bloomberg. The latest rate was roughly 11.3 million doses a day.

In the U.S., more Americans have received at least one dose than have tested positive for the virus since the pandemic began. So far, 127 million doses have been given. In the last week, an average of 2.49 million doses per day were administered. (March 22, 2021)

I still have not gotten a shot. I get “Walking Dead” vibes from all this. Remember, the first episode when Rick wakes up in the hospital after he was in a coma and goes outside and sees all the bodies wrapped up laying around the hospital grounds. No body knows why and he can’t find anyone to ask. Maybe some day we will wake up and everyone is different because of the vaccinations and not in a good way. That is probably when I and my family will take some sleeping pills, lock us up in a bedroom, and just go to sleep forever.

Sorry I guess this is part of doom-scrolling as well. I just don’t trust some things when there is a group agreement. I have a ‘wait and see’ mentality.

Conclusion:

There are companies looking into this and that is a good thing. I hope good results come from this as well.
