Hey everyone!
Just want to drop some more intel on you all:

Quercetin I know you all know about by now so I won't be including additional studies for that.
But, here's an added bonus! CBD from cannabis ALSO treats C19 by inhibiting viral replication and promoting a healthy host immune response:

Those of us who already partake in cannabis know very well that we've been lied to about cannabis for quite some time. I can only hope the more conservative crowd in this forum that shies away from cannabis learns to see through the lies they've been told about that, as well.
Take care everyone.
Stay cozy, frens.
Serious question if I may. I can vape plain THC but if I vape THC with natural terpenes I itch all over. I go back to plain THC a few days go by before I'm ripped but without the itch. Plain Jane no taste THC does the job @ (60% THC) but the THC with natural terpenes tastes great and runs about (70-75% THC)
Good distillate should be about 92% THC ish. This would be done on a wiped film molecular distillation still if proper.
The terpenes used in many vape carts are cheaply sourced and or not even natural terpenes, but sometimes a mix of plant derived and lab derived isomers.
It really depends on the sources of the material, and if they contain other stuff like pesticides, or heavy metals, as well as the potential for terpenes to leech out curing agents from the silicone in the seals.
I have the ability to get pure terpenes out of cannabis to add back to a distillate, for vaping, which is much cleaner. This should be the norm in the industry but, as usual, profits count more than the consumer.
Natural is always better if possible. Look into something like live rosin? That's made with water hash and pressure/heat, no chemicals or solvents used. It's also pretty terpy/tasty which is nice.
