In order for cannabis to work against the virus, and other things, it needs to be un-changed by heat, this is the conclusion of the study? OK, that does make sense, not carboxylized.
How does age affect the cannabinoids? As in, if you have buds that have been dried without heat, how long do the active compounds last before they become significantly less effective? This question can be important for people who,for whatever reason, can't grow their own. How long can it sit at the dispensary before it becomes less effective?
Another question, if heat changes the active cannabinoids, I'm guessing that cooking with cannabis destroys it's anti-viral effects. So, how do you process the cannabis to use for edibles without heat?
These are actual questions that I have, not criticism of your post. Basically, how old can the stuff be and still be useful, and how do I process it without heat?

Yup, that's a good question. From my research on it, I believe we have quite a while before those changes take place. Heat, radiation (like light), pressure, and dryness can speed up the process. Heat is the main one to avoid. Older bud, say at dispensaries or in your stash, will be far less useful. I'm wondering if rosin is good for this, it's just pressed resins right from the plant. You can even do it fresh, or frozen (sometimes called frosin). Tinctures too. My wife's post has a bit more info, but to be honest I think this is one area that more research is required. We know some basics, but it will be great to unlock further mysteries and get more access to the healing capabilities of cannabis.
