One, it can reduce the spread of the virus by binding with receptors the virus uses to spread throughout the body.  Two, it can reduce the symptoms associated with the virus, since cannabis has natural anti-inflammatory properties. Marijuana, up until the point, cannot cure COVID or keep you from getting the virus.
