Scientists says it could be possible.

⟪International Journal of Biological Macromolecules⟫, a peer-reviewed scientific journal, published a paper showing cannabinoids including THC can neutralize the main protease of SARS-CoV-2 virus to block its replication and control cytokine storm. Scientists using molecule analysis, they compared cannabinoids with COVID19 antiviral medication such as Remdesvir, and found CBD and THC were better in stopping SARS-CoV-2 virus. Hence, every governments in the world including Hong Kong are facing enormous pressure upon them to legalize cannabis and normalize life from COVID19 disaster(pandemic). > Vinit Raj, Jae Gyu Park, Kiu-Hyung Cho, Pilju Choi, Taejung Kim, Jungyeob Ham, Jintae Lee, Assessment of antiviral potencies of cannabinoids against SARS-CoV-2 using computational and in vitro approaches, International Journal of Biological Macromolecules, Volume 168, 2021, Pages 474-485, ISSN 0141-8130, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2020.12.020 ![Thomas Jefferson.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/dailyhongkong/23w2aT2t6bK5xzdCuWQrNJTpYwjofqBrxbb1qnxSAjWr6Z6RiHAuaK9tvzwVnBS7zWrZi.jpg)

Hong Kong Special Administrative Region

While United States and the majority of the world have acknowledged the therapeutic and medical benefits of cannabis in the United Nations, it is noteable that People’s Republic of China refused to acknowledge it despite of numerous papers and clinical trials proving so. Accordingly Hong Kong, a special administrative region of People’s Republic of China is not acknowledging the therapeutic and medical benefits of cannabis.

Daily Hong Kong

One Hong Kong online news media ⟪Daily Hong Kong⟫ has pointed that People’s Republic of China promised Hong Kong to have its own governmental system, legal, economic and financial affairs, including trade relations with foreign countries, all of which are independent from those of the Mainland. Therefore ⟪Daily Hong Kong⟫ suggested to try cannabis in Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, where People’s Republic of China promised ⟪One Country, Two Systems⟫, to see the herapeutic and medical benefits including COVID19 cure. Can HKSAR have a different view of medical cannabis?
