Cannabis is an extremely complex plant containing more than 400 compounds, more than 100 of which are cannabinoids. The two most widely used of these are, of course, well known – CBD (cannabidiol) and THC (tetrahydrocannabinol). But there are other, little-known but truly unique cases.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the many cannabinoids that should not escape your attention is CBG<\/strong>. What’s so interesting about it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"CBG<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Although CBG is present in low levels in most varieties (less than 1%), it plays a significant role in cannabis plants and offers many benefits.
CBG stands for cannabigerol and is actually classified as the ‘parent cannabinoid’ for both CBD and THC. These would simply not exist without CBG! CBG is the base on which several cannabinoids depend. This is because all cannabinoids originate as CBGA (the acidic, inactive form of CBG). As the cannabis plant matures, CBGA is broken down and converted into CBDA and THCA, the inactive “acidic” forms of CBD and THC. When heated or otherwise ‘decarboxylated<\/a>‘, the active components are converted to active CBD, THC and CBG.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBGA is mostly rapidly converted to THCA or CBDA in cannabis plants, meaning that the more THC or CBD present in the final product, the less CBG will be present. The latter is simply converted into other cannabinoids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Health effects of CBG<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

CBG is starting to gain popularity and more and more cannabis users are realising its potential. The research to date on the effects of CBG is promising and points to potentially significant medical uses:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
