How Cannabis Users Can Stay Healthy Regarding Coronavirus

Stop sharing (smoking) - joints (jambs), bongs and pipes during the spread of coronavirus

The "smoke and tell a friend" customs surrounding cannabis are one of the great pleasures of being together among weed smokers. But giving up joys and pipes for a while is a good way to stop the spread of any virus, including COVID-19. At the moment, if you smoke something that can be shared, do not share, this is the most primitive thing that can be advised)



Wash your hands often

Thorough handwashing really, really, really helps prevent the transmission of coronavirus, as well as other diseases. Before you get ready to enjoy a joint, your bong, reach for your CBD vape, or decide to stick your hand in a bag of chips, be sure to wash your hands for 20 seconds. That's as long as it takes to sing "Happy Birthday to You." Just a note)




Don't Buy Untested Coronavirus Remedies

There's a lot of buzz going on right now about the therapeutic effects of CBD on the virus, which you're sure you'll see or hear somewhere on social media. networks that CBD helps against coronovirus.

Answering a direct question, will CBD help against coronovirus? - At the moment, because no serious research on CBD and coronavirus, the answer is NO, But! - CBD is a serious anti-inflammatory agent that can be used for prevention in synergy with other methods of protection and help the body to ensure its normal and complete work when it is weakened by SARS or Flu, in fact, this is something that you will not notice, because. simply for you - everything will be as before, you will not get sick! We recommend buying cbd products and replacing at least - vitamin C, Echinacea, etc. means that are already very firmly entrenched in our heads, the only thing is, they are ineffective, like most antiviral drugs, and this is a scientifically proven fact!



Practice social distancing.

Now everyone in countries where there are infected people should completely immerse themselves in the social distancing regime. It means:

  • - If you can, work from home.
  • - Reduce, limit or eliminate travel to places of public gatherings. Stop storming bars and cafes!
  • - Keep a distance of 2 meters from other people.
  • - Plan the necessary purchases (food, medicines) during hours with little traffic, early in the morning or late in the evening.
  • - Postpone or cancel events. Weddings, birthdays, card parties. Ready.
  • - Help people in high risk categories. A simple trip to the grocery store can be a matter of life or death for them. If you're in a low-risk demographic, offer to pick up their items the next time you go for a run.
  • - Be careful with cannabis around any virus
  • - Smoking weed when you have a virus: not a good idea. Our article, " Cannabis for colds and flu? Here's what the experts say, " provides a lot of great advice on integrating cannabis (or not) into treatment and recovery from the common flu. I will say right away - yes, THC and CBD have painkillers, sleep-inducing and anti-inflammatory properties, but you can also harm yourself, read the article carefully.

Important! Inhaling hot smoke is the last thing your lungs need to fight off a cold or flu. Do your research before treatment.




Take precautions regarding physical contact with others

Stop shaking hands. A nod or a friendly verbal greeting is your friend for the time being. You don't need to lock yourself in a room and panic, but think about how you interact, communicate with other people and with the public.



Leave face masks for sick patients and healthcare workers

The Centers for Disease Control and other health agencies make this clear: masks are designed to prevent already infected patients from spreading the virus and to protect healthcare workers working in high-risk settings. Frequent handwashing is much more effective than wearing a mask, but if you still want to be extra safe or feel more protected, wear it, but change it every 2 hours.


Know about the symptoms of COVID-19

You don't have to call the emergency room if it's a common cold, but check yourself if you meet the criteria for COVID-19 symptoms. These include:

  • - fever
  • - Cough
  • - Confused breathing
  • - Has been in contact with a coronavirus (COVID-19) patient or someone who has recently traveled to an area with persistent spread.

(Note: The definition of "area of ongoing spread" changes by the hour, and this item on the symptom list becomes less important as the virus is recognized as existing in local communities.)




Have a self-quarantine plan

At the moment we are talking about the spectrum, from choosing the option to work from home (if you are lucky enough to have such a choice) to full-fledged home quarantine.


DO NOT SMOK WHAT SOMEONE HAS TOUCHED YOUR LIPS, HANDS, etc.

Note: Most viral transmission happens through the hands, so when you're so smart with your lips, you have to watch out for your fingers holding a bong or vape, which many others have also held recently. Just telling you this one more time so you remember it!


Will this affect the supply of cannabis?

Not for us, our black market has a life of its own) In the states - since all legal cannabis products are made in the state in which they are sold, industry experts do not expect a shortage of actual cannabis due to a slowdown in imports.


This does not mean that there will not be shortages or supply disruptions in certain products. Most batteries, such as CBD vape pens and VAPE cartridges, are made in China. These supply chains have already seen slowdowns and interruptions due to lockdowns affecting the Chinese manufacturing sector.


The US imports about 30 million Chinese vape pens and cartridges every month. Most deliveries stopped due to the annual closing of the Chinese New Year in mid-January and have not fully resumed due to the coronavirus.


“Supply peak will come in a few weeks and will continue for several months,” says Dan Fung, CEO of American Made Vapes. “Prices will rise. There may be a shortage of packaging and vape pens.”


Most of the packaging materials used by cannabis companies are also made in China, so a slowdown in the production of these materials could lead to a slowdown in production in the United States.


The development of new cannabis-related products may also slow down as designers and manufacturers cannot count on a steady supply of bulk products and materials from China right now.


Will this affect the events of 4/20 (World Weed Day)?

The answer is yes. Organizers of the 4/20 celebrations, which are less than six weeks away, are already considering how the wider COVID-19 outbreak could affect their events. Some have begun postponements or cancellations.


One of the leaders of a cannabis store in the United States said that due to health problems, he canceled a food truck ordered for 4/20. 4/20 festivals have already changed and developed in connection with the expansion of legalization. The coronavirus outbreak could further accelerate this change in ways that are hard to predict right now.


What about legalization campaigns?

If COVID-19 spreads to more American cities, we may see more cancellations of major events, conventions, and festivals. Large malls and commercial areas may see a decline in foot traffic. This may affect the ability of signature collectors to store enough names to qualify legalization initiatives by the deadline.


Everything will be fine, accept the data that you received and use it, be prudent, take care of yourself and be healthy!
