“They have the potential to prevent as well as treat infection by SARS-CoV-2. CBDA and CBGA are produced by the hemp plant as precursors to CBD and CBG, which are familiar to many consumers. However, they are different from the acids and are not contained in hemp products.”

^ this is the important part I think, we probably need some development in extraction and isolation but the weed industry seems to move pretty fast when new and interesting cannabinoids have been discovered in the past.
