Take twice a day, morning and night, for help with pain and anti-inflammatory benefits. 

What is CBG?

Like THC, we’ve known of CBG since the 1960s. But thanks to worldwide restrictions on research and possession, studies into the cannabinoid are few and far between.

CBG is similar to CBD in many respects – the most important one being lack of intoxication. And like CBD, vendors can isolate CBG using the same clean and trusted methods as its more popular counterpart.

Still, there are a few key things we know (which we’ll cover in this article), such as CBG’s origins, unique properties, and potential benefits. However, it’s no secret that CBG – like CBD – could have a bright future in the world of dietary supplements. 

What Recent Studies Say About the Benefits of CBG

Like with most cannabinoid medicines, CBG research is still in its early stages – even though its existence has been known for about half a century. However, our understanding of the endocannabinoid system and medical cannabis is limited.

Still, preliminary evidence points to many of CBG’s potential therapeutic effects in stopping cancer cells, reducing chronic inflammation, treating glaucoma, and more. CBG oil and other CBG products derived from hemp plants could also boost overall wellness as supplements.

To understand how CBG works, we need to talk about the body’s Endocannabinoid System (ECS).

Cannabigerol is an example of a phytocannabinoid, referring to cannabinoids found exclusively outside the human body.

However, we also have several ones, created internally, known as endocannabinoids. These compounds play a crucial role in maintaining homeostasis, a state of internal balance. When something is wrong, endocannabinoids signal the body to correct it.

But sometimes, the ECS needs some outside help, which is where phytocannabinoids like CBD, THC, and CBG come in.

Although cannabinoids often interact with other receptors, the two we want to focus on are CB1 and CB2. CB1 receptors are primarily located in the central nervous system, while CB2 receptors sit mainly in the peripheral systems.

So which endocannabinoid receptors work with CBG? According to one 2017 review of existing literature by Aloway et al., Cannabigerol binds with the CB1 and CB2 varieties.

Cannabigerol is a “partial agonist” to both the CB1 and CB2 receptors. This means that, while it supports their function to a degree, it’s not nearly as strong as a complete agonist.

Does CBG Get You High?

No. CBG doesn’t get you high. Like CBD, Cannabigerol has no psychoactive effects – at least not in terms of intoxication. Many cannabinoids bind with CB1, but the only cannabinoid that binds strongly enough to get you high is THC.

THC is the only cannabinoid known to cause strong intoxication, with cannabinol (CBN) triggering milder psychotropic effects.
