Increased levels of ROS contribute to inactivation of antiproteases (such as a1-antitrypsin) and activation of metalloproteases (MMPs), resulting in protease/antiprotease imbalance in the lungs, which directly contributes to the degradation of the lung matrix [94]
And doing so can cause addiction and severe health effects in the long run
Finally, CBD can significantly inhibit SARS-Cov-2 replication in mouse models of infection, thereby reducing the viral load in the lungs and reducing signs of clinical disease [178]
Even so, the mechanistic picture points to risk, not benefit, especially with regular exposure
