CBG

One of the lesser-known cannabinoids is cannabigerol (CBG). CBG is a non-psychoactive compound found in low concentrations in cannabis plants. Despite being a minor cannabinoid, CBG has been the subject of numerous studies in recent years, which have revealed its potential therapeutic benefits. 

CBG is often referred to as the “mother” cannabinoid because it is the precursor to other cannabinoids like THC and CBD. A lot of our in-store flower has trace amounts of CBGa and CBG in it; some have more CBGa and CBG than CBD! CBGa can also show up in your flower in higher amounts if the plant is harvested earlier in its grow cycle. 

Studies have shown that CBG has potential therapeutic effects for a variety of conditions and symptoms, including pain and inflammation, glaucoma, cancer, anxiety and depression, and neurodegenerative diseases. other potential benefits of CBG are Pain relief, anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, lower blood pressure, bone stimulant (helpful for fibromyalgia/arthritis and hair and nail growth), anti-inflammatory, and it can inhibit cancer growth.
