THC BioMed Plans Cannabis Research For Potential COVID-19 Virus Prevention
THC BioMed Intl (CSE: THC) is looking at joining the fight against the pandemic with cannabis. The firm announced today securing a license from an unnamed overseas government to cultivate cannabis for medical and scientific use.
Citing research on the topic, including a published University of Chicago study, the firm intends to work on the potential of cannabidiol to prevent or inhibit SARS-CoV-2 infection–the virus that causes COVID-19.

The company said it is in “advanced discussions” with the host country and is now seeking amendments or clarification on the granted license related to the planned scientific research.
