THC, like alcohol is a powerful agent, and does have some medicinal effects as noted. There are medical reasons pro and con to apply or avoid any drug. I am more impressed by the 50 thousand physicians around the globe who take it as a preventative, or at treatment for patients. If we lose sight over what may be effective, over ideological loyalty, then all we do is say, My religion won't allow it because Orange man Bad! If it doesn't work, then the hell with it, onward to better treatments and vaccines.

The good doctor also believes the US government is not run by human beings but by creatures called "reptilians"... come to think of it ... she may not be entirely wrong on that last point. Hmm… you might need to be more careful on this, because it is invalid to say that A is false because P asserts it using the fact that P said (many) false statements. You can certainly doubt it for that reason, but sometimes, some liars can say some truth. About hydroxychloroquine, by taking an entire afternoon a while ago to Google on "countries, hydoxychloroquine chloroquine coronavirus covid-19", my current position is that the studies made in cannada might be right, and they corroborate most statements made by Didier Raoult in Marseilles ( guy who published 2000 papers and is well seen and listen by its peers). Hydroxychloroquine is not a panacea at all, but it eems slightly better than Remdesevir (used in the US). Also cannabis seems to be slightly better than hydroxychloroquine.It does seem that the countries using hydroxychlroquine (in fact almost all) manage better the crisis than those who did not, but it is hard to conclude anything definite, as many others factors are in play. I have no real opinion on this, but some talk like if they knew the “obvious truth”. About Cannabis, the work by Mechoulam (the discovers of THC and of its agonist in the brain/immune system) shows that it is an immune-stimulant, as opposed to alcohol which is known since long to be an immune-depressant, in which case it is criminal to not inform the people on this during a pandemic. It is time to switch the recreative use of alcohol and cannabis! I certainly doubt any statements about medication made by the FDA. They lie too much since too long, and indeed, I think that they are the one responsible for the arrival of Trump and that type of bandits who don’t even tray to hide their criminal conducts.
