Can cannabis help COVID ‘long haulers?’

The Cannigma

An unknown number of recovered COVID-19 patients are walking through a fog, uncertain when it will end and what can be done to help. And to make things worse, most of these people were already told that they were “healed.”.

Can you really snort cannabis?

The Cannigma

The scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could , they didn’t stop to think if they should. This line from “Jurassic Park” may come to mind when you hear the words “snortable cannabis,” but it’s perhaps not quite the horror show you may think. It was billed as a “unique cannabis concentrate,” and that may be putting it lightly. The ad for “Canna Bumps” released this past week showed a glass vial with 3 grams of powder, containing 600 mg of THC.

The Cannigma

As of April 2021, over 40% of Americans live in one of the 15 states where adults can legally buy cannabis for recreational use. Whether you live in a state where dispensaries are already open or whether you’re patiently waiting to buy your first legal eighth, it may still be worth considering a medical marijuana card.
