Because Blake Pearson is a board-certified physician in Canada—where cannabis is legal under national law—unlike his US colleagues, who can only prescribe a single FDA-approved CBD pharmaceutical and may only “recommend” high-THC cannabis, Pearson can prescribe cannabis to his patients. And he does: CBD for autism, THC for dementia—always in precise amounts, always from reliable sources.
A few of his patients have asked for cannabis products as part of a general strategy against the coronavirus. This is largely because, since the very beginning of the coronavirus pandemic, cannabis has been presented as a possible treatment or cure. But Pearson, a member of the Society of Cannabis Clinicians, doesn’t recommend cannabis for anyone worried about COVID-19, as either a preventative or a treatment.
“It’s way too early to advise an actual dosing regimen [using cannabis] to prevent COVID,” he said. To the “two or three” patients who inquired, “‘Does this give me some protection [from] getting COVID?’, I said, ‘It’s possible, but there’s no way you can confirm that.’”
