Amusing anecdote of my own:
My wife and I are daily cannabis users. My wife far more than me. She uses it for chronic neuropathy caused by a genetic condition and has a medical card.
We all caught COVID in February of 2021, before we were eligible for vaccination. I was the only one with any form of symptoms (loss my sense of smell) the rest were fully asymptomatic.
My wife and I joked that maybe cannabis could be protective.
Funny enough, I wasn't using much cannabis at all before the pandemic hit. I was 20 lbs heavier than I am now, and decided to start exercising rigorously to get as fit as possible with the expectation that a vaccine was 5 years out and we would all eventually contract the virus. I wanted to reduce my risk as much as possible. As part of my exercise habit, I would consume a 10mg THC/10mg CBD edible every night before going to the gym. I noticed it had bronchodilatory effects, and also made doing tons of cardio more fun on an emotional and mental level.
All of this is anecdotal, and I have zero idea if the weed helped me or not. But I can say with certainty it helped me achieve a level of fitness and reduced body fat that almost certainly mitigated my COVID infection, based on the science around fitness/obesity and it's impact on severity.
