THC & CBHT are the most widely-known cannabinoids. However, there have been over 113 cannabinoids discovered within the cannabis plants. Research is rapidly expanding as more states legalize cannabis. This means that there will be many more cannabinoids.

CBG is starting to gain popularity within the cannabis market. So we are here to answer your CBG questions and all of its wonderful properties.

First, What's CBG?

CBG (or cannabigerol), is a naturally occurring cannabinoid in cannabis. Because it is a cannabis cannabinoid it interacts with the body's CB1 receptors (or Cannabis receptor type 1 which can be found within the nervous system) as well as CB2 receptors CB2 which can be found inside the immune system.

CBG is known as the parent cannabinoid. CBGA (or cannabis plant cannabigerol acids) is produced by cannabis plants. It can be exposed to heat or UV light and converted into the cannabinoids that we most know, such as CBD and THC.

Because researchers were able to spend more time with cannabis, they have been able to isolate certain cannabinoids. They've also been able to harness them for their beneficial properties. CBG, when isolated, doesn't cause any intoxication. However, there are many potential medicinal benefits to CBG that could make it a leading contender in the cannabis industry.

Cbg Can Get You High?

CBG is not a drug that will get you high, like delta-8 or THC. CBG doesn't intoxicate, so it won’t get you high. CBG is actually one of the compounds which help to balance the strength of THC. CBG acts as a buffer, keeping the THC low tolerable, and below trip level (think acid or mushrooms).

There are many other benefits to the cannabis plant, that do not include getting high. CBG, which is similar to CBD, still contains many positive properties that are potential for medicine, pain, physical therapy, mental health, as well as medical treatment.

What's CBD Wax? And How Does It Compare To Other Cannabis Waxes?

"Wax", a generic term, refers to high-potency marijuana concentrates or extracts. CBG wax is identical to CBD and THC waxes, except that its primary ingredient is CBG. CBG waxes could contain high levels or low amounts of other cannabinoids, depending upon the brand.

CBG wax can be consumed with a dab-rig, just like other waxes. You can also roll it into a blunt, or place it on top of your pipe's bowl to smoke. CBG wax can also be used to make edibles for those who love to cook with cannabis. CBG wax infusion is a great way to make sure your dank dish has the right dosing.

CBG is not a way to get high. However, it can be used in conjunction with THC. CBG waxes may reduce THC's effects, so add some to a strain you don't like or help a friend who is having too intense a dab session.
