What is CBG Hemp flower

CBG stands for Cannabigerol. It is a natural cannabinoid like CBD and THC that is only produced in cannabis plants. Typically, CBG is known as a “minor cannabinoid” because the plant normally produces only minuscule amounts of it (1% or lower). But now, with selective breeding, growers can generate strains with high CBG content, upwards of 20%! Like CBD, CBG will not get you high. However, it may offer some qualities CBD doesn’t, like reducing optical discomfort or antibacterial properties. These flowers will also naturally contain other cannabinoids like CBD, THC, CBC, CBN, and more. Other cannabinoids present can intensify the effects of CBG when taken in combination with each other.

 

Manufacturers can process CBG flowers to make highly concentrated oil. Then they use this oil to create CBG rich products like tinctures, capsules, or edibles. However, there are many people who prefer smoking CBG flowers to gain the plant’s natural benefits.
