Scientists says it could be right.
International Journal of Biological Macromolecules, an established international journal, published a paper showing cannabinoids, compounds found in the cannabis plant, can neutralize the main protease of SARS-CoV-2 virus to block its replication process, and effectively stopping cytokine storm.
Using molecular dynamic simulation and density functional theory scientists compared cannabinoids with COVID19 antiviral drugs Chloroquine, Remdesvir, Lopinavir, and found cannabinoids, such as THC and CBD, were better in stopping SARS-CoV-2 virus.

UN commission reclassifies cannabis, yet still considered harmful
It is noteable that People’s Republic of China refused to acknowledge it despite of numerous papers and clinical trials proving so. It is also noteable Hong Kong, a special administrative region of People’s Republic of China is not acknowledging the therapeutic and medical benefits of cannabis.
One Country, Two Systems
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.
