Reposted from @beardbros_pharms Two Canadian researchers think that a special strain of cannabis might potentially be a valuable tool in the fight against COVID-19. - The researchers, Olga and Igor Kovalchuck have reportedly been developing and testing a novel cannabis strain for years, except with the goal of creating a strain that helps to combat cancer and inflammation. When the pandemic hit, the duo started to focus their efforts on how the strain might be used to help fight COVID-19. - The duo’s work was published in an April issue of the online medical journal Preprints. - “Similar to other respiratory pathogens, SARS-CoV2 is transmitted through respiratory droplets, with potential for aerosol and contact spread. It uses receptor-mediated entry into the human host via angiotensin-converting enzyme II (ACE2) that is expressed in lung tissue, as well as oral and nasal mucosa, kidney, testes, and the gastrointestinal tract,” reads the study. “Modulation of ACE2 levels in these gateway tissues may prove a plausible strategy for decreasing disease susceptibility.” - After looking at the research done on cannabis and COVID by other scientists, they were able to determine that cannabis, a special strain in particular, could potentially block COVID-19 from entering a person’s body to begin with. - It all comes down to our body’s ACE2 receptors, which works sort of like doorways into our bodies for the virus. In the case of the Kovalchuck’s work, cannabis would be used to decrease the level of ACE2 gene expression, essentially temporarily closing the doors to the virus. - Continued in Comments at @beardbros_pharms 🌲🌲🔥🔥💨💨 #Beardbros_Pharms #BeardBrosMedia #BBMedia #BeardBrosDistribution #CannabisNews #cannabiscommunity #cannabis #marijuana - #regrann https://www.instagram.com/p/CCEW6ELBfoV/?igshid=61vidhbkz38i

Reposted from @beardbros_pharms Cannabis extracts are showing potential in making people more resistant to the novel coronavirus, says an Alberta researcher leading a study. - After sifting through 400 cannabis strains, researchers at the University of Lethbridge are concentrating on about a dozen that show promising results in ensuring less fertile ground for the potentially lethal virus to take root, said biological scientist Dr. Igor Kovalchuk. - “A number of them have reduced the number of these (virus) receptors by 73 per cent, the chance of it getting in is much lower,” said Kovalchuk. - “If they can reduce the number of receptors, there’s much less chance of getting infected.” - Employing cannabis sativa strains over the past three months, the researcher said the effective balance between cannabis components THC and CBD — the latter more typically associated with medical use — is still unclear in blocking the novel coronavirus. - Continued in Comments at @beardbros_pharms 🌲🌲🔥🔥💨💨 #Beardbros_Pharms #BeardBrosMedia #BBMedia #BeardBrosDistribution #CannabisNews #cannabiscommunity #cannabis #marijuana - #regrann https://www.instagram.com/p/CAGQSIShjUS/?igshid=1187t7km191ay

Reposted from @beardbros_pharms (@get_regrann) - A congressional committee will debate two bills to federally legalize marijuana and several other pieces of cannabis research legislation this week, according to a briefing memo obtained by Marijuana Moment on Friday. - A House Energy and Commerce subcommittee is scheduled to hold a hearing on various reform proposals on Wednesday, with witnesses from the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA)  set to testify. - This comes months after the House Judiciary Committee held a historic vote approving a comprehensive legalization bill sponsored by the panel’s chairman, Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-NY). That legislation—the Marijuana Opportunity, Reinvestment and Expungement (MORE) Act—will be one of two descheduling bills the Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Health will take up. - The memo starts by providing context on the state of cannabis policy in the U.S., outlining research restrictions imposed under the Controlled Substances Act (CSA), the legalization of industrial hemp, past petitions to reschedule cannabis and public health issues. - DEA Senior Policy Advisor Matthew Strait, FDA Deputy Director for Regulatory Programs Douglas Throckmorton and NIDA Director Nora Volkow are listed as witnesses for the hearing. - Here are the bills that the committee will consider this week: - Full article at @beardbros_pharms 🌲🌲🔥🔥💨💨 #Beardbros_Pharms #BeardBrosMedia #BBMedia #BeardBrosDistribution #CannabisNews #cannabiscommunity #cannabis #marijuana https://www.instagram.com/p/B7RwZmnhyjS/?igshid=1v9zzwdskngod

If you listen carefully, you will hear the sound of a crooked foundation known as marijuana prohibition starting to crumble in the United States. It has been more than eight decades since the federal government outlawed the cannabis plant nationwide, and yet, here we are finally standing on its lawn with torches in hand waiting for a day of reckoning. - Because no matter how much the suits on the Hill have schemed to enslave a population through backasswards drug laws, the nation has risen up in true knock-down-drag-out fashion and fought for its freedom back. Admittedly, this battle for legal bud took a lot longer than it should have, but considering that everyone in the trenches was stoned beyond belief, the marijuana movement seems to be arriving right on time. - Although pro-pot groups insist that 2019 has been the best year ever in the realm of cannabis reform, the reality is not much progress has transpired. It is only revered as the “best year” because even less occurred in the years that came before it. But no matter how you size it up, nothing plus bupkis still equals squat. In spite of everything, marijuana remains illegal across most of the United States. - At the state level, many advocates predicted that New York and New Jersey would be the next to legalize weed. Well, that didn’t happen. In fact, Illinois swooped in and legalized first, making both states look like dorks. But aside from that, no other significant pot laws were passed at the state level in 2019. We also learned that police are still out there arresting more than 600,000 pot offenders nationwide every year — mostly small timers, too. - Continued at @beardbros_pharms 🌲🌲🔥🔥💨💨 #Beardbros_Pharms #BeardBrosMedia #BBMedia #BeardBrosDistribution #CannabisNews #cannabiscommunity #cannabis #marijuana https://www.instagram.com/p/B5-9AaeBUQm/?igshid=1nc5lwrt6qz9o

#Repost @beardbros_pharms (@get_repost) ・・・ Still true... - No one deserves to be jailed for a non-toxic, non-lethal and healing plant... - I've been hearing politicians speaking recently that we need more research... that we need more information about cannabis before legalizing? - Well, How about these numbers? - - Tobacco 1,360 deaths per day. - Alcohol 245 deaths per day. - Prescriptions 200 deaths per day. - -Cannabis 0 deaths per day. No deaths ever. - 🌲🌲🔥🔥💨💨 #Beardbros_Pharms #BeardBrosMedia #BBMedia #BeardBrosDistribution #CannabisNews #losangeles #la #california #cannabiscommunity #cannabis #marijuana #real #life #weshouldsmoke (at Growers N' Smokers) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5BbxACAgoz/?igshid=plrj3q6rr7j1
