CBG, or cannabigerol, is a natural cannabinoid that's still little-known but full of promise. A precursor to CBD, it could help improve concentration, digestive comfort, and muscle relaxation. Herbeevor explains everything about its benefits, how it differs from CBD, and its legality in France.
Less well-known than CBD, CBG (cannabigerol) is gaining more and more attention in the world of natural wellness.
A precursor to all other cannabinoids, it is said to be the very origin of CBD and THC.
But then, what are its effects? Is it legal? How to use it?
Herbeevor explains everything to you.
CBG is one of the many cannabinoids found in the hemp plant ( Cannabis sativa ).
It is considered the “ mother cannabinoid ” because it is from it that the others, including CBD and THC , are formed during the growth of the plant.
Its natural concentration is low (about 1% in mature hemp), which makes it a rare and valuable compound .
