What Is CBG? CBG vs CBD Simply Explained

What is CBG? Cannabigerol – never heard of it!

At the beginning of this year, we added our lovely Rosmarie to our range. Rosmarie is so special because she is our first CBG strain. CBG? Yes, you read that right: CBG stands for cannabigerol – here we explain what CBG is.

If you are now thinking: I’ve never heard of that? What is it supposed to be? Then first of all we say: oh dear, you should probably follow us on social media or sign up for our newsletter. 😉 We have talked about it there several times. But because we are so nice, we will summarise everything important here once again. Don’t worry!

Let’s start from the very beginning

The form of cannabigerol that occurs in unripe hemp plants, and from which CBD, CBG and THC are then formed, is called CBGa. The A stands for acid. CBGa is a component of the unripe cannabis plant.

In our plant, however, it is mainly converted into the most readily available form of CBG and only very little into CBD and THC. The biggest difference from CBD is the way cannabigerol interacts with the endocannabinoid system. CBG also has one big thing in common with CBD: it doesn’t get you high. Most people describe the effect as extremely relaxing and above all very physically noticeable. Above all, it is said to have a calming effect. If you can’t imagine what that is like, you will probably just have to try it.
