With all that’s going on in the world these days, the need to find an effective treatment for severe respiratory complications has never been more pressing. Fortunately, the solution may be right under our noses, as new research reveals that THC could potentially save the lives of those suffering from the kinds of symptoms regularly associated with coronavirus.

Publishing their work in the journal Frontiers in Pharmacology[i], the study authors explain that the majority of people who die from COVID-19 develop something called Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS), which is caused by excessive inflammation in the lungs. This usually occurs when the body’s immune system overreacts to an infection, releasing an excessive amount of messenger proteins called pro-inflammatory cytokines – a response known as a cytokine storm.

As we reported in an earlier blog, smoking cannabis has been found to reduce cytokine production in healthy adults, although no information is available regarding how this may help to reduce ARDS in those infected with coronavirus or other pathogens. Furthermore, given the plant’s known anti-inflammatory properties, many have speculated that it could be used to treat ARDS by reducing inflammation in the lungs.

To finally add some substance to these claims, the researchers used a toxin called Staphylococcus enterotoxin B (SEB) to induce ARDS in mice. Doing so resulted in “acute mortality” as every mouse died, indicating just how fatal a cytokine storm can be. However, after being treated with THC, 100 percent of the mice survived.

The suggestion here is that while THC may not be a cure for coronavirus, it could help patients to survive the severe respiratory complications that tend to occur in fatal cases, thereby giving their immune system the time it needs to fight off the virus.

More research will be needed before we can say for sure that THC works as effectively in humans suffering from ARDS, or how it interacts with COVID-19. However, by digging deeper into the mechanisms behind THC’s action in mice, the researchers noted that it ticks many of the boxes that a coronavirus antidote would need to tick.

Firstly, they found that it “significantly suppressed inflammatory cytokines,” indicating that it may help to extinguish a cytokine storm and thereby nip the main problem in the bud. Even more impressively, THC was found to help treat any existing inflammation in the lungs by stimulating the production of two different kinds of anti-inflammatory cells, known as myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) and regulatory T cells (Tregs).

This response is facilitated by the fact that cannabinoid receptors are found in the lungs and bronchial tissue, although the study authors were interested to find that the anti-inflammatory effects of THC are mediated via the CB2 receptor, rather than the CB1 receptor.

Typically, THC is associated with CB1, as most of its psychoactive effects are produced when it binds to this receptor[ii]. Yet the researchers found that by chemically disabling CB2 receptors in the rodents’ lungs, they were able to reduce the efficacy of THC treatment for ARDS.

Because of this, they suggest that other cannabinoids with a higher affinity for CB2 receptors may prove even more effective at treating ARDS, although they are keen to stress that rigorous research will be needed in order to confirm this.

Finally, it’s important to note that the mice in this study obviously did not smoke a spliff, but were injected with pure THC. No research has yet been conducted in order to determine how different delivery methods may influence the efficacy of THC treatment in humans, although it seems sensible to assume that anyone suffering from ARDS should avoid smoking.

20 Health benefits of cannabis that everyone should know

Cannabis can be found in various forms, and the health benefits of cannabis is ever growing, here Tara Leo of CaliExtractions gives us an insight regarding the diverse benefits of the plant.
Cannabis contains CBD which is a chemical that impacts the brain, making it function better without giving it a high along with THC which has pain relieving properties. Both substances can be extracted and enhanced for use through short path distillation. Users can get the following health benefits of cannabis:

Relief of chronic pain
There are hundreds of chemical compounds in cannabis, many of which are cannabinoids. Cannabinoids have been linked to providing relief of chronic pain due to their chemical makeup. Which is why cannabis’ by-product such as medical cannabis is commonly used for chronic pain relief.

Improves lung capacity
Unlike smoking cigarettes, when smoking cannabis in the form of cannabis your lungs aren’t harmed. In fact, a study found that cannabis actually helps increase the capacity of the lungs rather than cause any harm to it.

Help lose weight
If you look around, you will notice that the avid cannabis user is usually not overweight. That is because cannabis is linked to aiding your body in regulating insulin while managing caloric intake efficiently.

Regulate and prevent diabetes
With its impact on insulin, it only makes sense that cannabis can help regulate and prevent diabetes. Research conducted by the American Alliance for Medical Cannabis (AAMC) has linked cannabis to stabilise blood sugars, lower blood pressure, and improve blood circulation.

Fight cancer
One of the biggest medical benefits of cannabis is its link to fighting cancer. There is a good amount of evidence that shows cannabinoids can help fight cancer or at least certain types of it.

Helps treat depression
Depression is fairly widespread without most people even knowing they have it. The endocannabinoid compounds in cannabis can help in stabilising moods which can ease depression.

Shows promise in autism treatment
Cannabis is known to calm users down and control their mood. It can help children with autism that experience frequent violent mood swings control it.

Regulate seizures
Research conducted on CBD has shown that it can help control seizures. There are ongoing studies to determine the effect cannabis has on individuals with epilepsy.

Mend bones
Cannabidiol has been linked to helping heal broken bones, quickening the process. According to Bone Research Laboratory in Tel Aviv, it also helps strengthen the bone in the process of healing. This makes it tougher for the bone to break in the future.

Helps with ADHD/ADD
Individuals with ADHD and ADD have trouble focusing on tasks at hand. They tend to have problems with cognitive performance and concentration. Cannabis has shown promise in promoting focus and helping individuals with ADHD/ADD. It is also considered a safer alternative to Adderall and Ritalin.

Treatment for glaucoma
Glaucoma leads to additional pressure on the eyeball which is painful for individuals with the disorder. Cannabis can help reduce the pressure applied on the eyeball providing some temporary relief to individuals with glaucoma.

Alleviate anxiety
While Cannabis is commonly known to cause anxiety, there is a way around that. Taken in monitored dosage and in the proper way, cannabis can help alleviate anxiety and calm users down.

Slow development of Alzheimer’s disease
Alzheimer’s disease is one of many that is caused by cognitive degeneration. As we age, cognitive degeneration is almost unavoidable. Cannabis’s endocannabinoid contains anti-inflammatories that fight the brain inflammation that leads to Alzheimer’s disease.

Deal with pain linked to arthritis
Cannabis is now commonly found as creams and balms which are used by individuals that have arthritis. Both THC and CBD help sufferers deal with the pain.

Helps with PTSD symptoms
PTSD doesn’t just affect veterans but any individual that goes through a trauma. As cannabis is legalised the impact it has on helping treat individuals with PTSD is being studied. Cannabis helps control the fight or flight response, preventing it from going into overdrive.

Helps provide relief to individuals with multiple sclerosis
Multiple sclerosis can be painful, and cannabis is known to provide relief for it. Multiple sclerosis leads to painful muscle contractions and cannabis can help reduce that pain.

Reduces side effects linked to hepatitis C and increase the effectiveness of treatment
The treatment for hepatitis C has numerous side effects that include nausea, fatigue, depression, and muscle aches. These can last for months for some hepatitis C sufferers. Cannabis can help reduce the side effects caused by the treatment while making it more effective at the same time.

Treats inflammatory bowel diseases
Individuals with Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis can find some relief with the use of cannabis. THC and cannabidiol are known to help enhance immune response while also interact with cells that play a vital role in the functioning of the gut. Cannabis helps block off bacteria and other compounds that cause inflammation in the intestines.

Helps with tremors associated with Parkinson’s disease
For those that have Parkinson’s disease cannabis can help reduce tremors and pain while also helping promote sleep. It has also shown to improve motor skills in patients.

Helps with alcoholism
Another one of the many health benefits of cannabis is that there is no doubt cannabis is much safer than alcohol. While it may not be 100% risk-free, it can be a smarter way to curb alcoholism by substituting it with cannabis.
