CBG edibles are cannabis products that feature the cannabinoid cannabigerol — a non-psychoactive, minor cannabinoid that’s said to support mood, mental clarity, and stress.
CBG edibles can come as gummies, chews, and baked goods — as found in a CBD edibles lineup. Often called the “mother of all cannabinoids,” CBG plays a foundational role in the development of other compounds like CBD and THC and is harvested from younger cannabis plants.
What is CBG in Edibles?
CBG is a minor cannabinoid that’s often used in edibles or other weed gummies. Like the more well-known cannabinoids THC and CBD, CBG interacts with the body's endocannabinoid system, which can influence a range of bodily functions such as mood, appetite, and pain perception. However, unlike THC, CBG is non-psychoactive, meaning it doesn’t produce the "high" associated with marijuana.
CBG is often referred to as the "mother of all cannabinoids" because it’s a precursor compound from which other cannabinoids are synthesized as the plant matures.
What Does CBG Do in Edibles?
CBG (cannabigerol) in edibles interacts with the body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS), which plays a crucial role in regulating various physiological processes, including mood, focus, sleep, and stress response. When consumed in edible form, CBG is metabolized through the digestive system and liver, providing a slow, sustained release of its potential benefits.
Here’s what CBG may do in edibles:
-
Promote Mental Clarity and Focus:
CBG is often used for productive tasks. t [1]. While it’s not the same as taking medications for ADHD, people find it’s a subtle and more natural way to support a busy schedule. -
Support Stress Relief and Relaxation:
While not sedative like some cannabinoids, CBG has calming effects. Interaction with specific ECS receptors can help regulate the body’s stress response, promoting balance and calm without causing drowsiness. -
Immune Supporting and Neuroprotective Effects:
Many cannabinoids, including CBG, may positively impact the body’s natural mechanisms (immune system) that support healthy inflammation, including the brain. This contributes to its potential neuroprotective benefits, supporting overall brain health [2]. -
Support Digestive Health:
Some studies suggest CBG may also positively impact the digestive system by supporting healthy inflammation. CBG has been researched for its possible potential in treating irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) [3]. Although most of these studies have been conducted with murine models, they demonstrate promising results that encourage further studies with human models. -
Sustained Effects on Wellness:
Because edibles take longer to digest, the effects of CBG are slower to onset but last longer than other consumption methods. This makes CBG edibles ideal for those seeking sustained relief or support throughout the day without the feeling of sleepiness that’s associated with CBD.
Even though research on CBG is still fairly new, don’t count it out. CBG edibles could be a convenient and delicious way to get more of this cannabinoid into your routine to support mental and physical health.
