    pfizer invested heavily in medical cannabis in december 2021.  anyway... i guess edibles might work against preventing covid but it's heavily dependent on proper preparation with right temperature. i guess heat wrecks the part of the canabanoid that prevents the covid spikey thing from being effective

     

    Yes I think the preparation is of course extremely important - but I guess for CBD at least, there is already a large amount of industry that can perform this at relatively low cost. I think it is slightly more difficult for the two cannabinoid acids as described in this paper: https://pubs.acs.org/doi/pdf/10.1021/acs.jnatprod.1c00946, both of which are different from CBD. I think we need @Audioblysk to give us a chemistry primer, or maybe @xxx?

    People aren't going to be smoking huge blunts to combat COVID, but CBD might have some potential. Note that this study is a pre-print and the sample size is small: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7987002/

    Given that CBD preparations containing substantial amounts of CBD are taken by a large number of individuals, we examined whether CBD exposure might correlate to a decreased risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Analysis of over 93,000 patients tested for SARS-CoV-2 at the University of Chicago Medical Center showed that 10.0% tested positive overall, but only 5.7% of the ~400 who had any cannabinoid in their medical record tested positive (Fig. 6). Patients taking CBD versus other cannabinoids had an even lower rate of testing positive (1.2% in 85 CBD patients versus 7.1% in 113 patients taking other cannabinoids, p=0.08). This finding that patients taking other cannabinoids had less protection against viral infection is consistent with our cell culture studies. Since multiple potential confounding factors could explain these findings, including age, race, clinical morbidities, and sex, we matched 82 patients who were prescribed oral, FDA-approved CBD (Epidiolex®) before COVID-19 testing to patients who had no indication of taking any cannabinoids but had comparable other characteristics including similar demographic characteristics, clinical comorbidities, and records of other medications in the two years before COVID-19 testing (table S1). Of the patients prescribed oral CBD before their COVID-19 test, the most common morbidity categories were hypertension and conditions with immunosuppression. Strikingly, only 1.2% of the patients prescribed CBD contracted SARS-CoV-2 whereas 12.2% of the matched, non-cannabinoid patients tested positive (p=0.009), suggesting a potential reduction in SARS-CoV-2 infection risk of approximately an order of magnitude.

    Christopher Key has a new quarter-baked conspiracy theory for his anti-vax followers to use to cure themselves of COVID-19: Drink their own urine. “The antidote that we have seen now, and we have tons and tons of research, is urine therapy

    I forgot, one of the things that really stood out to me on this is the bold part. That means the dude has been drinking copious amounts of his own urine for god knows how long. Just….wtf.

    Jesus fuck Paul is an absolute tool. Classic tactic of throwing out question after question trying to find something. Fauci doesn't do very well here, he should demand the first time Paul interrupts him that he be allowed to finish his response.

    This doesn’t tell us anything with regard to how it behaves. For all we know it could be milder and less contagious

    From the article:

    He [the researcher] believes omicron will also overtake deltacron, he added.

    So it seems like the guy who discovered deltacron currently believes that it will be less either less virulent or less transmissible (I’m guessing the latter). 
     

    At this point I feel like it’s almost inevitable that everyone will get some form of COVID-19, although it may continue to weaken in virulence, to be more like the common cold (which is also caused by coronavirus, though not exclusively). We will probably end up addressing it like the flu although boosters/vaccines may have to be more frequent. 
     

    At present though, obviously it is still a massive issue and we should all be doing our best to follow safe practices when out and about, and getting vaccinated/boosted.

    Ehhh, pro-agonist was a pretty fucking good album. This is cringe though. 
     

    Lol in one of the comments he replied to though, he says “here’s a stunning NFT blah blah ….free forever at https://hic.link/the-cliff.”

    guess what’s at that link now?

     

    lol

    how to enjoy "music" in 2022

    This is so much more sophisticated, and obviously therefore better, than me hitting “checkout now” on my bandcamp cart.

    yeah, there was some saga with that where the AGNB channel got fucked up and taken over. Channel 5 is his new joint. it's a pity he can't bring over the old content, the AVN Expo video is quality educational material that should be shown in schools.

    Yeah just been reading about the draaaama. Real shame about that - and that AVN video is the tits. 

    He was probably the best possible person to interview the lunatic in prison. Either him or Louis Theroux.
