Do any of you find that regular use helps prevent you from getting sick? In years past I would commonly get a cold or the flu 1-3 times per year, especially before Christmas.
This past month I should have been more likely to get sick, since I've had an unbalanced diet, lack of sleep, and exposed myself to severe cold weather for extended periods without warm clothing. Surprisingly, I haven't gotten sick since I started vaping.
The only relevant info I could find is this article:

Diminishing Suffering from Colds and Flu with Medical Marijuana
Cannabis has already been recognized to inhibit fungus and bacteria and can be considered a new class of antimicrobial because of the different mechanism of action from other antimicrobials.
Cannabinoids are proving to have significant cidal (killer) activity to many viruses, including hepatitis C and the HIV virus. Cannabinoids down-regulate (inhibit) the immune response to the infection.
