Researchers say CBD could provide vital treatment for coronavirus
Researchers at the University of Nebraska and the Texas Biomedical Research Institute now believe CBD could reduce the lethal lung inflammation caused by COVID-19. In a peer-reviewed article published in this month's issue of Brain, Behavior, and Immunity, the researchers called for more studies into cannabinoids for their anti-viral and anti-inflammatory capabilities to combat the coronavirus.
"Acute infection is associated with a cytokine superstorm, which contributes to the symptoms of fever, cough, muscle pain," researchers wrote. In severe cases, lung inflammation could lead to pneumonia, making it difficult to breathe for patients who already have weakened immune systems.
Researchers noted no effective therapeutic treatments have yet emerged and the few that have resulted in adverse side effects like pancreatitis and hypertriglyceridemia, which increases a patient’s risk of stroke, heart attack, and heart disease. “[All of] which make it imperative to explore effective alternative anti-inflammatory strategies.”
Researchers referenced previous studies that demonstrated the novel anti-inflammatory properties cannabis provides. An emphasis was placed on CBD's anti-inflammatory capabilities, as it doesn't possess the psychoactive characteristics found in THC, marijuana's other well-known cannabinoid. THC can lead to increased heart rate, anxiety, and disorientation for some patients. CBD has also been FDA-approved for seizure reduction in patients with intractable epilepsy.
