Then the Covid Pandemic came along and I changed my focus to addressing the role of Cannabis in helping to fight the pandemic (a subject I had begun to explore in 2002 when the SARS CoV 1 Corona Virus became a threat). I sent this article to the United Nations, World Heath organization, National Institutes of Health, Centers for Disease Control and the FDA, requesting that Cannabis be removed from the most restrictive status of the SCT.
