CBG stands for cannabigerol, which is a minor cannabinoid found in the cannabis plant. Gummies are a good vehicle for delivering CBG to the endocannabinoid system. Unlike traditional cannabis edibles, CBG gummies made from hemp don't have intoxicating effects.
CBG gummies come in different flavors and concentrations, catering to different needs. Many use it to support mood, concentration, gut health, and general discomfort.
You may have heard that cannabigerol is known as "the mother of all cannabinoids." In its natural form in the cannabis plant, CBGA (cannabigerolic acid) is the precursor to cannabinoids like THC and CBD. CBG is found mostly in younger cannabis plants because of this.
What Does CBG Do in Gummies?
When you eat CBG gummies, the CBG is absorbed into the bloodstream, where it interacts with the endocannabinoid system (ECS). The ECS balances various physiological processes like mood, pain perception, inflammation, etc.
The effects of CBG gummies can depend on the individual and their level of famaliarity with dosing, but the general effects of CBG include:
- Feeling calm and relaxed
- Mental clarity and focus
- Relief from discomfort
Is CBG in Weed Gummies Different?
CBG in weed gummies is similar to CBG in other types of gummies, but there are important differences.
Most CBG gummies are made from hemp, which contains very low levels of THC (less than 0.3%), making them non-psychoactive and legal in many places. However, CBG in weed gummies comes from marijuana, which typically contains higher levels of THC.
This means that while the CBG in both types of gummies may offer similar benefits, weed gummies can also have psychoactive effects due to the higher THC content.
