What is CBG
What CBG Is
CBG, or cannabigerol, is a naturally occurring compound found in the hemp plant. It is non-intoxicating and does not cause a “high.”
CBG is often referred to as a “parent” cannabinoid because other cannabinoids, including CBD and THC, are derived from it during the plant’s growth process. In mature hemp plants, CBG is usually present in smaller amounts than CBD.
People explore CBG as part of a wellness routine focused on balance, clarity, and daily functioning. Individual experiences vary widely.
What CBG Is Not
- A medication or medical treatment
- A cure for pain, inflammation, or disease
- A guaranteed solution with predictable outcomes
- Intoxicating or psychoactive
CBG should be viewed as a wellness support option, not a treatment.
TYPES OF CBG: WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE?
Just like CBD, CBG comes in 3 different types
Full Spectrum CBG Contains:
- CBG
- Trace amounts of THC (legally under 0.3%)
- Other cannabinoids (CBD, CBC, CBN)
- Terpenes and plant compounds
Why people choose it
Some people believe full spectrum products feel more supportive because they contain multiple compounds from the hemp plant working together.
Important considerations
- Contains small amounts of THC
- May not be appropriate for people who are sensitive to THC or subject to drug testing
Broad Spectrum CBG Contains:
- CBG
- Other cannabinoids and plant compounds
- No detectable THC
Why people choose it
Broad spectrum products offer many of the same plant compounds as full spectrum products, without THC.
Important considerations
- Still a complex hemp extract
- Effects can differ from full spectrum or isolate
CBG Isolate Contains:
- CBG only
- No other cannabinoids or plant compounds
Why people choose it
- Maximum simplicity
- No THC
- Easier to control exact CBG amount
Important considerations
- Lacks other hemp compounds
- Some people find it less supportive on its own
