Among the many hemp cannabinoids currently on the market is CBG. This non-psychoactive compound is often referred to as the “Mother of Cannabinoids,” because it is the first to be produced by hemp and cannabis plants. Similar to CBD, CBG has been found to be effective at treating the symptoms of various types of conditions, including anxiety, insomnia, and chronic pain. Continue reading to learn more about CBG, its purported benefits, and why it is widely recognized as the “Mother of Cannabinoids.”
Why Is CBG Called the “Mother of Cannabinoids?”
As mentioned above, CBG is the first cannabinoid produced by cannabis and hemp plants. When young plants start to mature, they produce an “early phase” cannabinoid called cannabigerolic acid,or CBGa. When these plants start to reach the end of their growth cycle, they absorb UV light, which breaks down CBGa and convert it to other cannabinoids. Thus, CBG, is the starting point, or “mother,” of all cannabinoids.
What Are the Benefits of CBG?
Although research is still in relatively early stages (CBG was only federally legalized along with other hemp cannabinoids with the passage of the 2018 US Farm Bill), many users have reported experiencing a multitude of benefits from CBG. One survey, conducted in 2021, showed that many hemp customers had started using CBG to treat conditions such as anxiety, insomnia, and chronic pain. Like CBD, CBG has been shown to have analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties. Research has indicated that CBG bonds with both CB1 and CB2 receptors in the body’s ECS, or endocannabinoid system. Since the ECS is responsible for for functions like sleep cycle, inflammatory response, and emotional response, this is likely the explanation for CBG’s positive effects.
Try Happy Fruit’s CBG Gummies!
If you are curious about CBG and how this cannabinoid can benefit you, consider trying some of Happy Fruit’s Live Rosin Delta-9 Gummies. Live rosin delta-9 has been extracted from fresh hemp plants, meaning that they don’t contain any traces of solvents or preservatives. It bears repeating that this is delta-9 THC, meaning that it may produce psychoactive effects. It will also most likely cause users to fail drug screenings.
Our Strawberry Limeade Live Rosin Delta-9 Gummies contain 150 mg of live rosin delta-9, 250 mg of CBG, and 50 mg of THCV. Strangely enough, THCV behaves more like CBD than delta-9 THC because it doesn’t bind CB1 receptors in the brain to produce a “high” effect. In fact, THCV has unique properties and early stage research shows that it may be effective at regulating blood-sugar levels. These vegan-friendly gummies taste like sweet strawberries with a hint of tangy lime and contain the perfect formula to increase energy and focus.
Happy Fruit’s Watermelon Wellness Live Rosin Delta-9 Gummies also contain 150 mg of live rosin delta-9 THC, along with 250 mg of CBDa and 250 mg of CBGa. These watermelon-flavored, vegan-friendly gummies produce relaxing effects and promote wellness and relief.
