Scientists are working to find ways to prevent coronavirus infection and treat covid-19. Meanwhile, the possibility has arisen that the use of marijuana plants may reduce the chances of death by corona. When the patient's body's immune system begins to weaken, it begins to kill itself. Cannabis can be useful in such situations. Based on this research, the elements found in marijuana can also be tested on patients suffering from corona virus infection.
Due to a defect in the immune system, a process called 'cytokine storm' begins. Along with the virus, healthy cells of the body also become victims. There are also causes of death in many serious cases of covid. Researchers at Lethbridge University have claimed that elements found in marijuana plants can prevent cytokine storms. They have found strains that can reduce the levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-A) that help produce it.
What could be the damage?
At the onset of the epidemic the medical world was trying to find ways to prevent cytokine storms. This process continues even after the virus has left the body and can lead to Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) and even death. Which can lead to lung fibrosis which can also cause the lung tissue to deteriorate and stop working.
