SARS-CoV-2 infection causes dopaminergic neuron senescence - Published Jan 17, 2024

"Just a cold" that stops your neurons from reproducing

Highlights • hPSC-derived DA neurons are susceptible to SARS-CoV-2 infection • SARS-CoV-2 infection of DA neurons triggers cellular senescence response • Several FDA-approved drugs were identified to rescue senescence of DA neurons • Cellular senescence was found in substantia nigra tissues of COVID-19 patients

Summary COVID-19 patients commonly present with signs of central nervous system and/or peripheral nervous system dysfunction. Here, we show that midbrain dopamine (DA) neurons derived from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) are selectively susceptible and permissive to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. SARS-CoV-2 infection of DA neurons triggers an inflammatory and cellular senescence response. High-throughput screening in hPSC-derived DA neurons identified several FDA-approved drugs that can rescue the cellular senescence phenotype by preventing SARS-CoV-2 infection. We also identified the inflammatory and cellular senescence signature and low levels of SARS-CoV-2 transcripts in human substantia nigra tissue of COVID-19 patients. Furthermore, we observed reduced numbers of neuromelanin+ and tyrosine-hydroxylase (TH)+ DA neurons and fibers in a cohort of severe COVID-19 patients. Our findings demonstrate that hPSC-derived DA neurons are susceptible to SARS-CoV-2, identify candidate neuroprotective drugs for COVID-19 patients, and suggest the need for careful, long-term monitoring of neurological problems in COVID-19 patients.

🚨 “Weed Is Bad,” You Say? Meanwhile, Alcohol Is Casually Ending Bloodlines in 4K 🧪

A Cultural Delusion in 5 Brutal Acts

🧠 INTRO: The Great Cognitive Scam

Every time someone says “Weed is bad,” it’s always with the same energy:

"It makes people lazy, paranoid, stupid, sluggish, unreliable..."

Meanwhile, those same people will raise a glass of alcohol — The most socially accepted poison on the planet — With a smile and a toast and zero shame.

But let’s not sugarcoat it: Alcohol kills. Weed annoys.

There’s a difference. And it’s time we face it.

📊 ACT I: THE BLOODY RECEIPTS — Alcohol’s Kill Count

🔪 Drunk Driving Deaths (US, annually):

10,000+ people die each year in the U.S. alone due to alcohol-impaired driving.

That’s one death every 52 minutes.

👊 Alcohol-Related Violence:

Nearly 55% of domestic abuse cases involve alcohol.

Bar fights? Sexual assaults? Unprovoked street violence? Alcohol is in the bloodstream every single time.

💀 Alcohol Poisoning:

Every day, six people in the U.S. die from alcohol poisoning.

Most of them? Men between 35–64. Grown-ass men drinking themselves to death.

🏥 Liver Disease & Organ Failure:

Alcohol-related liver disease kills 22,000+ Americans per year.

Alcohol is a Group 1 carcinogen, just like asbestos and plutonium. (Yes, you read that correctly.)

Meanwhile...

🌿 ACT II: The Weed Apocalypse That Never Happened

💨 Weed Fatalities (Global History):

Total confirmed overdose deaths from cannabis: Zero.

📉 Behavioral Risk:

Cannabis may impair short-term memory or coordination in high doses.

But you know what it doesn’t do? Make you beat your partner, vomit blood, crash into a school bus, or punch a cop.

🔬 Medical Facts:

THC and CBD both show neuroprotective qualities in early-stage studies.

Used for:

Epilepsy

Chronic pain

Cancer treatment side-effects

PTSD

Anxiety disorders

Opioid addiction recovery

But yeah, Karen, go off about how “weed ruins lives” while your boyfriend screams at you drunk because the chicken’s undercooked.

🤯 ACT III: A Little Psychological Trick (That Will Break Their Mental Framing)

Ready? Here’s the framing flip you drop on any "weed bad" person:

✨ “Imagine weed was invented after alcohol.” And both substances had to go through approval today. Which one do you think would be illegal? The one that makes you eat too many snacks and fall asleep watching cartoons? Or the one that kills thousands, causes car crashes, organ failure, violent outbursts, and long-term brain damage?

Ask them. Let them sit in it. Watch their gears grind. Let the hypocrisy do the damage.

😬 ACT IV: The “Weed Bad” Embarrassment Checklist

Let’s play a little game.

Answer honestly:

If you’ve ever said “weed is bad,” but…

⬜ Have blacked out drunk ⬜ Have driven buzzed ⬜ Have had a violent argument with alcohol in your system ⬜ Have made a sexual decision you regretted while drunk ⬜ Have puked in public or private due to drinking ⬜ Have missed work due to hangovers ⬜ Have witnessed violence, harassment, or trauma due to alcohol ⬜ Have casually excused drunk aggression as “just how they get sometimes”

Then congratulations:

You’re not anti-drug. You’re just culturally biased.

And you're probably too deep in the “beer good, weed bad” matrix to notice your own hypocrisy.

🧨 ACT V: The Reason This Narrative Exists

Here’s the kicker:

🤝 ALCOHOL IS PROFITABLE

Advertised during the Super Bowl

$250 billion industry globally

Politically entrenched

Taxed and lobbied to the moon

🧱 WEED IS CONTROL

Weaponized to arrest Black and brown communities

Labeled a “gateway drug” while beer commercials show frat guys having the time of their lives

Only recently being legalized because white entrepreneurs want to cash in

The criminalization of weed was never about health. It was about control, fear, race, and money.

🧠 FINAL ANALOGY: Alcohol Is the Abusive Ex Society Still Romanticizes

Imagine this:

You break up with someone who:

But society keeps saying:

“Oh come on, they’re fun at parties! They’ve been around forever!”

Meanwhile, a quiet, weird little stoner walks into your life like:

“Hey, I’m not perfect, but I mostly just chill, snack, vibe, and nap.”

And you’re like:

“GET OUT YOU MONSTER!”

See how stupid that sounds?

🏁 FINAL VERDICT: Weed Isn’t Your Enemy. Your Normalized Poison Is.

If alcohol were invented today, it’d be banned before it left clinical trials. If weed were invented today, it’d be sold at Whole Foods as an anxiety remedy with a mason jar and a hand-written label.

Let go of the programming. Face the hypocrisy. And stop pretending that the real problem is the plant that’s never killed anyone.

💨 Reblog if you’ve ever seen someone blackout and destroy their life — and it wasn’t weed’s fault. 🧠 Comment if you’ve caught yourself repeating propaganda without fact-checking. 🚫 Follow if you’re done pretending poison is culture just because it comes in a glass.

⚖️ LEGAL DISCLAIMER: This post is written for the purpose of artistic expression, cultural commentary, and psychological exploration of social and gender dynamics. It does not condone or encourage violence, harassment, or discrimination of any kind. Any references to power, strength, restraint, or critique are metaphorical, symbolic, and rooted in historical and cultural analysis. This is not a call to action — it’s a cultural mirror. If you feel offended, ask yourself if it’s from actual harm — or from seeing something you hoped no one would say out loud.

✨ TL;DR: If you're mad, it’s probably not because it’s wrong — it’s because you know it’s true.

Theitsa, what is the attitude towards weed in Greece? I went along with my friend to visit a guy he knew in a village in Syros last summer. I was suprised when we walked through the gate to his garden and it was full of weed. Like just out there growing in the open for everyone to see. The guy was baked too. I thought it was illegal?

What he did is illegal but our culture is kinda lax, and it's known that in the islands many cultivate weed in remote fields 😅 Usually it is allowed to be sold under specific circumstances. Also in the last few months I've seen more and more stores dedicated to cannabis products and cannabis products vending machines, even in towns. Not all towns, but I mean it doesn't have to be Thessaloniki or Athens for such a vending machine to exist. A few tens of thousands of people will do.

Now, the longer legal answer:

With the Joint Ministerial Decision (JMD) No. G5g oik. 49690/2017 (Government Gazette 2238/B/29-6-2017), cannabis (and its resin) was reclassified from Table A of Law 3459/2006 on "Narcotics"—which includes completely prohibited substances—to Table B, which pertains to pharmaceutical substances. This legislative change effectively recognized cannabis as a medicinal substance with therapeutic benefits rather than merely a psychoactive substance with harmful health effects. Medical cannabis refers to medication in which the only active ingredient (i.e., the active substance) comes from varieties of the Cannabis Sativa L species with a tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) content greater than 2% (THC > 0.2%). Since then, the circulation of pharmaceutical preparations or proprietary medicinal products containing more than 0.2% THC has been permitted, provided they have a drug circulation license and are accompanied by a special (double-lined red) prescription. The medicinal properties of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) include anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antimicrobial, and neuroprotective effects. It also acts as an appetite stimulant, has anti-nausea and antiemetic properties, and reduces the intensity of muscle spasms. Additionally, it appears to contribute to apoptosis, particularly in cancer cells. Cannabis administration is justified only in the following cases: a) In cases of acute and objectively excessive pain. b) In cases of oncological diseases. c) In cases of rheumatoid arthritis. With Law 4523/2018, the unified regulation of the production, possession, transport, storage, and supply of raw materials and substances derived from Cannabis Sativa L with a THC content greater than 0.2% (THC > 0.2%) was approved. This law also allowed for the establishment and operation of processing units for the production of final medical cannabis products, exclusively for either supplying the state monopoly for medical use or for export. The distribution of the product follows an integrated system, meaning that the same entity (whether a natural or legal person): Produces the substance. Possesses it. Transports it. Stores it. Finally supplies/sells it as a finished product to buyers. Any license or approval granted by the relevant authorities is non-transferable. There are numerous restrictions and criteria that must be met for license approval. While Law 3459/2006 classified cannabis as a prohibited narcotic substance, Law 4139/2013 on "addictive substances" clarified that narcotic substances do not include raw harvested products from the cultivation of low-THC cannabis varieties (Cannabis Sativa L) with a THC content of up to 0.2%. According to this decision, only contract-based industrial hemp cultivation is now legal in Greece, and only for varieties listed in the relevant European catalog. All preparations and CBD cannabis flowers are freely available on the market, as cannabidiol (CBD) is not classified as a narcotic substance (Law 3459/2006 – Government Gazette A’/103/25.5.2006) and does not contain the controlled substance tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9-THC) above the legal limit of 0.2% (Law 4139/2013 – Government Gazette 74/A’/20-03-2013).

The real or perceived proximity to death often results in a non-ordinary state of consciousness characterized by phenomenological features such as the perception of leaving the body boundaries, feelings of peace, bliss and timelessness, life review, the sensation of traveling through a tunnel and an irreversible threshold. Near-death experiences (NDEs) are comparable among individuals of different cultures, suggesting an underlying neurobiological mechanism. Anecdotal accounts of the similarity between NDEs and certain drug-induced altered states of consciousness prompted us to perform a large-scale comparative analysis of these experiences. After assessing the semantic similarity between ≈15,000 reports linked to the use of 165 psychoactive substances and 625 NDE narratives, we determined that the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist ketamine consistently resulted in reports most similar to those associated with NDEs. Ketamine was followed by Salvia divinorum (a plant containing a potent and selective κ receptor agonist) and a series of serotonergic psychedelics, including the endogenous serotonin 2A receptor agonist N,N-Dimethyltryptamine (DMT). This similarity was driven by semantic concepts related to consciousness of the self and the environment, but also by those associated with the therapeutic, ceremonial and religious aspects of drug use. Our analysis sheds light on the long-standing link between certain drugs and the experience of "dying", suggests that ketamine could be used as a safe and reversible experimental model for NDE phenomenology, and supports the speculation that endogenous NMDA antagonists with neuroprotective properties may be released in the proximity of death.

Introduction to Hemp-Derived THC Products:

In our last article, we learned to distinguish between over-the-counter, hemp-derived THC products and medical marijuana by understanding the 0.3% rule. This article delves deeper into how various cannabinoids become available from hemp and explores their effects.

Delta-6 THC:

Delta-6 THC is the most abundant cannabinoid in the cannabis plant, accounting for more than 40% of all cannabinoids. It offers a range of medicinal benefits, including anxiety and pain reduction. It constitutes a significant portion of cannabis-derived products and is known for its psychoactive effects and diverse biological activities, showing evidence of analgesic, anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, anti-anxiety, anti-nausea, neuroprotective, anticonvulsant and anti-depressant effects.

Delta-8 THC:

Delta-8 THC, a synthetically produced psychoactive cannabinoid, provides a milder high than delta-9 THC. Its consumption is explored as an alternative to delta-9 THC, and it is considered a milder alternative with fewer of the side effects (paranoia, hunger, fatigue) sometimes associated with THC use. It is medicinally beneficial in the same ways as other cannabinoids, but does not occur naturally in great quantities and so must be synthesized from other cannabinoids such as CBD.

Delta-9 THC:

The landscape of THC has evolved since the 2018 Farm Bill, with delta-9 THC subject to varying laws nationwide. It is one of the most commonly occurring cannabinoids, first discovered in the 1960’s and studied (and enjoyed) extensively since. Thanks to its abundance it requires a minimal amount of processing. Hemp-derived delta-9 THC, sourced from legal hemp plants, shares the same properties as THC from marijuana (as hemp and marijuana are both cannabis) but differs in the extraction process.

Delta-10 THC:

Delta-10 THC, an isomer of delta-9 THC, exists naturally in small quantities in cannabis plants and is often synthesized from hemp-derived CBD. Positioned in a legal grey area, it is reported to offer stimulating and uplifting effects with fewer chances of inducing anxiety. It is popular amongst students and professionals for its energizing and euphoric effects.

Delta-11 THC:

Delta-11 THC, a minor cannabinoid, is an isomer of delta-9 THC and is synthesized from cannabidiol (CBD). Users report intense euphoric feelings, heightened relaxation, and an elevated mood, making it a sought-after cannabinoid. It shares a commonality of effect and potency with Delta 10.

HHC:

Hexahydrocannabinol (HHC), a lesser-known THC relative, is produced from hemp-derived CBD in a lab. While not technically a THC, it produces very similar effects, and its unique advantages include enhanced stability and resistance to breakdown. Users report a euphoric, long-lasting high, beneficial for energy, focus and mood; with few of the side effects normally experienced alongside THC use. Interestingly, there is some evidence to suggest that HHC will not appear on traditional panel drug tests, as it does not metabolize in the same way THC does… But further study on the subject is necessary.

THCA:

THCA, the precursor to THC, is abundant in fresh cannabis plants and known for its anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective properties. It can be obtained by enjoying raw, organically produced cannabis in culinary products such as smoothies, fresh juices or salads. While non-psychoactive, it undergoes decarboxylation into THC, which means that heating THCA will convert it into THC, offering a potent high from smoking or vaping.

THCV/THCP/THCB:

THCV, a relatively rare compound, has effects such as appetite suppression and neuroprotection and is significantly more potent than THC alone. THCP, discovered in 2019, exhibits psychoactive potential surpassing THC by a significant margin. THCB, discovered alongside THCP, shows medicinal promise with analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects, though further studies are needed on all three minor compounds

In Conclusion:

There are many benefits to hemp-derived cannabinoids and as the industry expands in response to demand, there are an abundance of products to choose from. It is crucial that consumers choose reputable retailers for their hemp-derived THC products, sourced responsibly from from quality manufacturers who can provide third-party lab results, ensuring transparency and product integrity. Here at Beyond Smoke, we pride ourselves on our merchandise quality and informed, educated customer service. Stop by for all your over-the-counter cannabis needs!

Now this is the right way to get funding! I've always felt a bit scummy when writing grants and trying to frame my work in the most medically relevant way possible even when a good portion of what I've done in my career is basic science, but that's how the game is played. It never sat right with me. I'm much happier with how I get funding to do my work these days, but if I could go back, I might do things differently...

Funding proposal directed at new-age healers: I'm exploring receptors in the brain linked to neuroprotection and the preservation of cognition in aging brains...I mean, I'm searching for the origin of the chakra energy fields that emanate from the inner third eye of the human mindscape. I'll need $500,000 in drug discovery startup funding...I mean, I need this money to purchase the healing crystals needed to isolate the various auras that are obscuring the giga-brain boarder where the chakras entangle with the human all-soul.

3 years and half a dozen neuroscience papers later: Oops, just found a drug that will keep hippocampal neurons alive Alzheimer's patients but no sign of chakras yet, guess I'll keep trying once the next round of funding comes in.

Exploring New Frontiers in Ischemic Stroke Treatment: What the Future Holds

Ischemic stroke is a dangerous disorder in which a blood clot plugs or narrows an artery leading to the brain, reducing blood flow and potentially causing long-term brain damage. As the most frequent type of stroke, ischemic stroke requires immediate and comprehensive treatment. Significant advances in ischemic stroke treatment have developed in recent years, raising the prospect of a faster recovery. Let's look at some of the interesting advancements that are defining the future of ischemic stroke treatment. Advanced Clot Retrieval Techniques One of the most promising areas of ischemic stroke treatment is the advent of clot retrieval techniques. Traditionally, clot-busting drugs were the major treatment for ischemic stroke. However, these drugs are not always beneficial, particularly when given too late. Today, treatments like mechanical thrombectomy, which physically removes the clot from the brain's blood arteries, have transformed stroke care. When conducted within hours of the stroke's commencement, this technique has demonstrated considerable improvement in recovery. As technology advances, we should expect increasingly more advanced and effective ways of clot retrieval, hence improving outcomes for ischemic stroke patients. Neuroprotective Drugs: A Step Towards Better Recovery Another promising breakthrough in ischemic stroke treatment is the use of neuroprotective medicines. These drugs are intended to prevent brain cells from further damage following a stroke. While the use of these medications is still experimental, preliminary research indicates significant promise. Neuroprotective medicines prevent brain cell loss, reduce inflammation, and promote tissue regeneration. If these medications continue to show promise in clinical trials, they could play an important role in reducing the long-term effects of ischemic strokes and speeding up patients' recovery. Personalized Treatment: Tailored Care for the Individual Looking ahead, personalized medicine could have a substantial impact on ischemic stroke treatment. Every stroke patient has a unique experience, and treatment approaches tailored to individual needs have the potential to significantly enhance recovery results. Advances in genetic research and medical imaging allow doctors to forecast which treatments will be most beneficial for a certain patient. This tailored approach guarantees that each stroke patient receives the best possible care, increasing the likelihood of successful ischemic stroke treatment and a better quality of life. Conclusion The future of ischemic stroke treatment seems hopeful, with novel advances providing new hope for patients and their families. With advancements in clot-retrieval techniques, promising neuroprotective medications, and the possibility of tailored treatment, the outlook for ischemic stroke recovery has never been better. As research advances, we should expect even more innovations that will enhance the lives of stroke survivors, resulting in speedier recovery times and improved long-term results.
