What is CBG? Not Your Average Cannabinoid
As recreational cannabis becomes more popular during the current cannabis revolution, the level of available information and education has risen significantly. As more cannabis product options become start hitting the market, the level of choice given to the consumer also rises. Now there are many products that focus on specific cannabinoids like CBD, CBN, THCV, D8, and CBG in conjunction with the standard D9THC and THCA. Some of these we have previously discussed in other articles(CBN). Today we will be focusing on CBG, a cannabinoid that can be found in most cannabis flower and has started to gain popularity in higher concentrations in other products. It must be said that research on cannabis and cannabinoids is in its infancy and needs far more time before coming to any conclusive results.
Like the ever-popular THC and CBD. CBG is another naturally forming cannabinoid within the cannabis plant. Unlike THC though it is generally found in much lower levels closer to 1%. CBG is created through internal conversion within the plant. Starting off as CBGA and slowly converting into CBD, THC, and CBG through either exposure to light/heat or after a prolonged period of time. Now that genetic manipulation has become more popular in cannabis cultivation, breeders have created strains that are made to produce much higher levels of CBG. CBG can also be harvested and extracted from a premature plant, before the CBGA has time to convert into other cannabinoids.
CBG has been said to have many potential benefits. Though far more research is still needed before coming to any final conclusions. It has been said to be beneficial for glaucoma as many users have reported a relief of pressure behind the eye. It has also been reported to have antibacterial properties. One of the most popular uses currently is its potential benefits to stimulate appetite. This can be extremely important for many who are having a difficult time taking in food for multiple reasons.
