The video discusses a study on cannabigerolic acid and cannabidiolic acid binding to the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, potentially preventing the virus from entering cells. The study used advanced scientific techniques but hasn't been tested in vivo. It focused on alpha and beta variants, not Omicron. The acids are not psychoactive like THC and would be administered orally if effective.
