What is CBG?

CBG, short for cannabigerol, is one of the many compounds found in the cannabis plant. It is a cannabinoid, just like the well-known cannabinoids CBD (cannabidiol) and THC (tetrahydrocannabinol). Recently, CBG has been gaining popularity. Let’s explore the current research on cannabigerol.

Where Does CBG Come From?

CBG can be considered as a precursor to other cannabinoids. CBG-A, the acidic form of CBG, breaks down into CBG, CBD, THC, and CBC (cannabichromene) when heated. CBG is extracted from young cannabis plants because they contain higher levels of this compound compared to mature plants. 

In fully matured plants with high concentrations of THC and CBD, the CBG concentration is significantly lower. This is because during the growth of the cannabis plant, a larger portion of cannabigerol has already converted into CBD and THC.

What is the Difference Between CBG and CBD Oil?

CBG and CBD are often compared due to their similarities, as both interact with the endocannabinoid system. Neither CBG nor CBD is psychoactive, meaning they don’t alter consciousness like THC does.

 

One of the biggest differences between them is the extraction process. CBG has to be harvested from a young hemp plant unlike CBD that can be taken from a matured hemp plant. This makes CBG much more difficult to get. 

There have been limited studies on CBG but with the increasing popularity of cannabigerol, more studies will likely be conducted in the future, and the results look promising. 

CBG belongs to the family of cannabinoids.

Effects and Potential Uses of CBG: Research

  • A study published in 2008 mentions CBG in relation to glaucoma
  • Another study looked at how CBG can help with IBS 
  • CBG is most widely used for inflammation relief
