CBG (cannabigerol) is a non-intoxicating cannabinoid, meaning it won't get you high. It helps maintain high levels of endocannabinoids, the cannabinoids produced by your body.
CBG typically stays in your system for 1-2 days or 24-48 hours. While CBG itself is not usually tested for in standard drug tests, full-spectrum CBG products could contain trace amounts of THC, which might lead to a positive result.
CBG interacts with different receptors in your body, providing a unique set of benefits separate from other cannabinoids.
Does CBG Show Up on a Drug Test?
CBG, unlike THC, does not cause a high and can't be tested for in-standard drug tests. However, if you're using a full-spectrum CBG product, it could contain trace amounts of THC, which might lead to a positive result.
Therefore, if you're concerned about drug tests, it's best to choose broad-spectrum or isolate CBG products.
How Long Does CBG Stay in Your System?
CBG stays in your system for 1-2 days or 24-48 hours. It has a half-life that influences how long it remains detectable. A half-life is the time it takes for half of the substance to be eliminated from your body. For CBG, this process typically occurs within 24-48 hours after consumption.
Factors Affecting CBG Duration
Several factors can influence how long CBG stays in your system. These include:
- Dosage: Higher doses of CBG might take longer to leave your system.
- Frequency of Use: Regular use can lead to CBG accumulating in your body, potentially extending the detection period.
- Metabolism: A faster metabolism can speed up the elimination process.
- Body Composition: Body fat can store cannabinoids, influencing how long they stay detectable.
We recommend considering these factors and adjusting your CBG use accordingly to make you don't test positive for something you weren't expecting to test positive for.
