Great to see people rallying around possible solutions and spreading the info.
Personal anecdote, I was looking up whether to stop occasional cannabis usage as a precaution for a while because it has been labelled an immunosuppressant and an immunomodulator. I don't understand enough of the science to decide, so I'm stopping, but what I saw in those papers suggested that it is good at preventing autoimmune diseases from getting out of hand. Any expert knowledge/opinion very welcome, as many people have access to this drug already.
- bionhoward 7y agoThe biggest problem about cannabis re: covid19 is if you smoke it, it’s gonna impair the cilia which help clean out your lungs, also you’re putting your lips on some dirty piece (especially bad if shared between multiple people as one person being exposed equals everyone else sharing the piece gets exposed) Definitely avoid combustion with shared bongs. If we might get sick with something that’s gonna impair our lungs, we ought to take action to increase lung function e.g. VO2Max (lactate threshold training / HIIT / Lung muscle exercises with incentive spirometers OR IMST devices) Not sure about the viral implications of systems biology of immune effects of cannabis, but it’s an interesting topic
