Here is some food for thought:
-It is well known that Israel is decades ahead of the rest of the world in medical marijuana research. The grow climate there is second to none. This is an informational article about Israel's cannabis industry that you might find interesting - I sure did!

I wanted to point out two things from the article written in 2017 here:
1. "Their current masterpiece is a strain called “Cheesepie”, which has a whopping 13% CBD and less than 1% THC. The farm has seven other strains currently available, with more under production.The eight farms find themselves engaged in a competition, each striving to top the other’s latest achievements."
2. "At the moment, farmers in Israel show little interest in pooling their knowledge. But if the nation loosens its cannabis laws and allows the export of marijuana and medical marijuana products, perhaps they will see the value in coming together to produce the highest quality product possible."
We all know that Israel passed export laws on May 13, 2020 that went into effect on June 13th. Israel is one of 3 countries that currently export medical marijuana and is by far the best of the 3...could we see incredible designer strains available nowhere else in the world? I think so.
-If you don't know the ins-and-outs of SARS-COV2 (covid-19), it essentially creates a "cytokine storm" inside the body and causes the immune system to attack the body. The respiratory ailments are targeted through the ACE2 receptor.
Here are a few VERY interesting articles on CBD anti-inflammatory properties and the action in treating cytokine storms and the ACE2 pathways/receptors.

FIREWORKS may be related to the 4th of July, but could ALSO be covid-19 related! The boom heard round the pandemic world.
Objectively, there are loads of articles floating around that suggest medical marijuana could have zero, little, or even adverse affects on covid-19 patients. I'd however like to point out two counter-positions:
a) US pharmaceutical industry and its cronies are all known to protect their profits and markets with widespread propaganda campaigns, legislative lobbying organizations, and misinformation to prevent curative medicines from ever reaching the public (Doc knows all about this I'm sure)
b) Israel is DECADES ahead of the rest of the world in medical marijuana research. An American or European "authority" may be completely unaware of the real impact that unique strains and delivery methods can have on diseases and not even know it.
...and hey, guess which company has access to unique, clinically tested delivery methods AND unique strains of medical marijuana??
Think on it.
