CARROLLTON, Texas - Marylandian -- What Is It?

CBG is growing in popularity as a result of the host of potential benefits the cannabinoid has to offer. CBG, CBD, and THC are all derived from cannabis plants. CBG is derived from young cannabis plants because they contain higher amounts of CBG than fully developed plants. In fully developed plants with high concentrations of THC and CBD, you'll find very low concentrations of CBG. This happens because most of the CBG has already been converted to CBD and THC as the plant developed. Learn more about the effects and future of CBG.

How Does It Work?

CBG is processed by the body's ESC (endocannabinoid system). The ESC is made up of molecules and receptors in our bodies that are responsible for keeping our bodies in an optimal state regardless of what's going on in our external environment.

Our body contains two types of cannabinoid receptors—CB1 and CB2. CB1 receptors are found in the nervous system and brain, while CB2 receptors are located in the immune system and other areas of the body.

CBG works by binding to both receptors where it's thought to strengthen the function of anandamide, a neurotransmitter that plays a role in enhancing pleasure and motivation, regulating appetite and sleep, and alleviating pain.

Will It Get Me High?

Unlike THC, CBG has no psychotropic effects, so it will not give you a high. Like CBD, CBG has been used to combat pain without having the intoxicating effect of cannabinoids like THC.

How Do I Use It?

The most common way CBG is produced for consumers is as an oil. You can get the benefits of CBG by using pure CBG oil. However, CBG oils are rare and expensive.  Green Garden Gold is a trusted company that offers affordable CBG by combining CBG and CBD at a one-to-one ratio.

The good news is that you can also get some of the benefits of CBG from using broad-spectrum CBD oils. Broad-spectrum CBD oils contain all the cannabinoids found in a cannabis plant including CBG, but it doesn't include THC.

Will CBG Make Me Fail A Drug Test?

No. CBG and CBD are not intoxicating. THC is the compound that will cause you to possibly fail a drug test.

What Makes CBG Different Than CBD?

The way CBG interacts with our ESC is different from CBD. CBG binds directly to both CB1 and CB2 receptors and might be more efficient at delivering its benefits into our systems.

Why haven't I heard of CBG Before?

The production difficulties of CBG make it very scarce. It's much harder to produce than other cannabinoids like THC and CBD. Since CBG shares many similarities with CBD, manufacturers would rather produce CBD.

With CBG showing the potential to be a more favorable treatment option for many conditions versus the more famous CBD it's only a matter of time before CBG becomes more well known. Visit Green Garden Gold for your CBD, CBG, and Hemp product needs!
