Cannabis and Coronavirus: Here’s what you need to know

Concern over the Coronavirus pandemic has several people taking precautions against contracting it. It has also raised several questions about Cannabis and Coronavirus, smoking, CBD, and THC. We provide answers in this article.

Cannabis and COVID-19

Cannabis cannot cure Covid. Considering the general attitude towards CBD and Marijuana, it’s not unusual to hear ludicrous claims about their effect on Coronavirus, most commonly spread through social media. These claims are untrue.

There haven’t been any credible studies on Cannabis and Coronavirus or CBD products and Coronavirus so, there is no reliable evidence that CBD can treat Coronavirus. Or that cannabis has any effect on it, either.

Are dispensaries and stores open during COVID 19?

Most states have specific medical cannabis dispensaries as core parts of the healthcare system, so many have remained open. Some states have prohibited adult-use sale but have allowed medical use. Others only permit delivery and curbside pickup.

Buying, using, and selling Marijuana during Covid 19

Best Coronavirus Prevention practices for buying

• Place your order online. Plenty of stores offer curbside pickup, so it shouldn’t be hard to find one near you.
• Avoid contact with strangers as much as you can.
• Make bulk purchases, so you have enough to take you for at least a month.

Best Coronavirus Prevention practices for buying

Cannabis business operators must seek guidance from the relevant county public health guidance authority, along with state, federal, and WHO guidance to ensure their sanitary operation.

Sanitation measures for COVID dispensaries include;

• Quarantining if you have a fever
• Hand-washing
• Use of gloves
• Wearing facemasks and shields
• The physical distancing of patrons and staff.

Is it safe to consume marijuana right now?

Generally speaking, yes. During this time of social isolation, it is crucial that you stay mentally and physically healthy. If your wellness routine includes cannabis, and you don’t have any coronavirus symptoms, it’s ok to consume it.

Watch out for COVID symptoms.

There’s no need to rush to the emergency room for coronavirus treatment if you have just a common cold. However, if your cold comes with the following symptoms, get yourself tested as soon as possible.

• Dry cough
• Difficulty breathing
• Fever
• Previous contact with a COVID-19 patient

Coronavirus’ effect on Marijuana supplies

Since legal cannabis products are made and consumed within individual states, industry analysts do not expect shortages due to import restrictions. However, this doesn’t mean there won’t be shortfalls or supply interruptions for specific products. Most wholesale vape cartridges and batteries are made overseas. Those supply chains have seen significant disruption and slowdowns due to the impact the Coronavirus has had on the manufacturing sector.

Why should we do this? Isn’t everyone going to get it eventually?

The aim isn’t to contain the virus entirely. That moment passed a while ago. Right now, the goal is to avoid overwhelming the medical system with mass infections. Here’s an illustration. If 200 people need a hospital’s ICU, but it can only handle 20 at one go, 180 people die. However, if the infections in those 200 people are distributed over weeks and months, most of them will survive.

The coronavirus pandemic may be here to stay, but it shouldn’t keep you from enjoying the benefits cannabis has to offer. If you ever need natural hemp products, edibles, or vape pens, our pickup and delivery options will get you all you need in the safest way possible.
