I found this interesting. More research keeps coming up about the benefits of the whole plant.
“Of all the extracts used in the study, four were found to be the most effective at reducing ACE2 in human tissues. Each of these had a CBD:THC ratio of roughly 30:1, although one of the four had a ratio that was close to 40:1. More good news came when the researchers found that some of these high-CBD strains downregulated a second enzyme called TMPRSS2, which has also been found to assist covid as it enters a cell.
However, when the team then repeated the experiment using pure CBD, they found no such reductions in either ACE2 or TMPRSS2. Similarly, pure cannabigerol (CBG) was ineffective at curtailing the expression of these proteins.
â€This led the authors to conclude that only whole plant extracts are apt to bring about these effects, while isolated cannabinoids appear to be of little use.â€
