| Cannabis can prevent coronavirus! |
Marijuana and opium are two chemical compounds that can help prevent coronavirus infections.
These two compounds can quickly bind different parts of the spike protein to look like the trunk on the outer layer of the virus. As a result, the virus can no longer enter the human body and anchor in cells. There is no infection.
A recent study led by the University of Oregon in the United States reported this. The research paper was published in the international scientific research journal Journal of Natural Products.
According to some experts, this could lead to the discovery of new drugs to prevent corona infections using these two compounds in the coming days. News: Ananda Bazar newspaper.

The coronavirus enters the host's body cells with this spike protein to enter the body of a human or any other animal and look like a trunk. The ACE-2 receptor protein in the outer layer of the host cell helps the virus to anchor itself.
Researchers have found that opium, a chemical compound rich in marijuana, prevents the coronavirus from anchoring in the cells of humans or any other animal. The spike of the virus binds to the protein.
Opium, the two chemical compounds in cannabis are actually two acids. One is called Cannabigerolic Acid (CBGA). The other is ‘cannabidiol acid (CBDA)’.
The research has been done in the laboratory. No clinical trials have been conducted so far. However, researchers have found that opium, the two chemical compounds in cannabis, CBGA, and CBDA, can very quickly prevent the transmission of alpha and beta variants of the coronavirus. The spikes in those variants of the virus bind the protein so fast that the virus is unable to anchor in human cells. As a result, infection is not occurring.
However, researchers say that those who regularly consume marijuana, opium, coronary alpha, beta form infections will not, but it is not. However, in the future, if any medicine is made with those two chemical compounds in opium and cannabis, it may be effective enough to prevent corona infection.

Richard Bremen, a professor at Oregon State University who is one of the lead researchers, said: "Opium, the two acids we've seen in cannabis to prevent coronary heart disease, have long been used in other human treatments. However, this is the first time that these two compounds have been shown to prevent coronavirus infection so quickly.
