It's still experimental..



If it's approved by Health Canada, I might.

Cannabis is a plant with many uses, not just for ingesting THC to get high. Many cannabis products have no THC and are perfectly safe.



Cannabis is used to make hemp, which can be used to make clothes and other fabric products, as well as very strong rope and netting.

Right ^



It claims both CBDA and CBGA block infection of the original live SARS-CoV-2 virus and variants of concern, including the B.1.1.7 and B.1.351



They sound like CBD derivative .. there are many chemicals in pot



CBD is not only legal here but was legal for medical use with a doctors signature on the form  (mainly pain control) years before pot per se became legal



Prolly 7 years ago now, I tried CBD, both via a vaporizer and then they made oils legal - Neither did a thing for pain &  made me feel sick



I'll read more on this later to see if it's CBD they are talking about, or compounds with it in.



CBD is not a hallucinogen - It's the THC that is can produce a high. >  CBD vs. THC: What's the Difference? - https://www.webmd.com/pain-management/cbd-thc-difference">https://www.webmd.com/pain-management/c ... difference">https://www.webmd.com/pain-management/cbd-thc-difference



(note: I mention CBD as  both compounds mentioned in article (see top line) sound CBD-ish - one using all 3 letters and the other the first 2 letters)

As far as I can tell CBD is just another scam trendy product that promises much, and delivers nothing.

Hemp is not ingested or smoked.....I would buy products made out of hemp.

It was useless for me .. . despite being approved for dealing with pain by the Health Dept & signed off on by my Doc

I suspected many of the claims are exaggerated.

We used to have a poster here who would get very defensive when it was suggested that most people use marijuana for recreational and not medicinal purposes.

[Bricktop]

She would never use marijuana for recreation.



Oh, nooooooo....

We are getting hard evidence now the severity of COVID is a lot less severe than Delta.



Stunning new data shows risk of death from Omicron is 91% lower than Delta, CDC-funded study says

The Omicron variant of COVID-19 is far milder than Delta, according to a new study funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The eye-opening data revealed that those infected with the Omicron variant are 91% less likely to die than those who are infected than the Delta strain.



The clinical study was conducted by Kaiser Permanente Southern California health care system – which operates 138 medical offices and 13 medical centers, plus has an affiliation with 37 community hospitals in Southern California. The study analyzed 52,297 Omicron cases and 16,982 Delta cases in Southern California between Nov. 30, 2021, and Jan. 1, 2022.



The study found that those infected with the Omicron variant were 53% less likely to have symptomatic hospitalization, had 74% less chance of being administered to the intensive care unit, and had a 91% lower risk of death compared to individuals with the Delta variant. Only one person of the more than 52,000 people with Omicron died, versus 14 deaths in the 16,982 with Delta. In addition, there were zero patients with Omicron who required mechanical ventilation, according to the research.



Patients infected with Omicron had a median duration of hospital stay of three fewer days than those with Delta.



"During a period with mixed Delta and Omicron variant circulation, SARS-CoV-2 infections with presumed Omicron variant infection were associated with substantially reduced risk of severe clinical endpoints and shorter durations of hospital stay," the authors of the study concluded.



The CDC-funded study – which has not yet been peer-reviewed – did not reveal the ages of those who died or their vaccination status.



On Wednesday, CDC Director Rochelle Walensky shared the study on Twitter.

I'm waiting for a large sample like from Canada.

Exactly - We do know it is not as severe



However, any conclusive result of symptom strength must weigh the number vaxxed .. as the unvaxxed have a far higher rate of severity as shown by hospital data. Any study not knowing or weighing  that does not tell the whole story



True we don't know how many cases, but we in Canada can know the exact comparison simply from hospital stats so could do an exact study weighing in that factor



At the the very least we could determine the overall severity for both groups

Why?



What will you do with that assessment?
