 it is well known that cannabis use can produce short term memory problems as THC attaches to receptors in the brain that are vital for memory function including in the amygdala, cerebral cortex and hippocampus. The long term effects on memory are still unknown at this point.

EDIT: CITATION

Yes, there were two publications about cannabis and COVID.

One paper investigated that cannabinoids acids, particularly CBDA and CBGA, can prevent the Sars-CoV-2 from infecting cells. Those experiments were done in-vitro.

The second paper looked at how CBD can prevent the replication of the Sars-CoV-2 in a cell that is already infected. They did it in-situ and in a mouse model.

Those two papers are interesting, but you need to realize that those are fundamental research studies. They are not treatment studies. There is currently no data or proof if this would work in a human.

To start, a plant is only a strain if it is genetically modified or a descendant of a GMO plant. They should be using the term cultivar. Lamarck decided in the 18th century that there was cannabis Indica and Sativa. However, this taxonomic acceptance is hotly debated. Botanical taxonomists never agree on anything. To avoid a fight, there are chemotypes of cannabis with high and low THC.

Our robot can smoke up to 10 joints per day. After that I am so exhausted, I just have some Swiss chocolate after work.
