CBG....Minor to Major!!


Because CBG isn’t abundant in most strains, breeders have begun crossbreeding plants to achieve higher levels of the cannabinoid. In most strains, CBG is a minor cannabinoid, meaning it shows up in very low quantity. One of the new strains that is primarily CBG is CBG White. This is one of the newest tinctures we have on our website!

CBG demonstrates a number of benefits to the human body. 

CBG, like CBD, is non-intoxicating and does not impart a high, despite its connection to THC. Research indicates it can bind to both CB1 and CB2 receptors within the body’s endocannabinoid system, meaning it not only interacts directly with the body’s internal systems, but can also counteract the effects of other cannabinoids, such as THC. 
2021 patient survey indicated a majority of patients found CBG-dominant products effective in treating their chronic pain, anxiety, and insomnia, among other conditions. 

While more studies need to be done on this cannabinoid, early research is shedding more light on it. Some other benefits may include: reducing intraocular pressure for glaucoma, nerve pain, anxiety, IBS, protecting neurons in the brain, ADHD and more to come!

Whole plant tinctures provide a range of cannabinoids, major and minor to have a greater effect than those tinctures that are purely isolates of CBG! So give it a try!!
