CBG Gummies

Gummy fans can rejoice, because CBG gummies have arrived. These gummy formulas are just like CBD gummies, except they contain cannabigerol extract for a totally different but equally valuable kind of cannabinoid experience. They have excellent flavor options, clean ingredients and various potency levels so that you can be in control of your edibles routine. And, they all contain lab-tested hemp extract to ensure that you’re getting only the finest CBG that’s available on today’s market.

What is CBG?

CBG (cannabigerol) is a hemp-derived cannabinoid. Discovered in the 1960s, it attaches primarily to CB2 receptors in the body’s digestive system and immune system, promoting balance and equilibrium that can offer valuable effects to the way in which a person feels. It’s a minor cannabinoid that acts as the predecessor to CBD, THC and other cannabinoids, hence its nickname, “the mother cannabinoid.”

What Makes CBG Different from CBD?

While CBD makes its way throughout CB2 and CB1 (nervous system receptors) evenly, CB2 focuses more on CB2 receptors, offering stronger effects pertaining to the digestive and immune systems. Besides that, many people describe CBG as uplifting, and particularly great for finding relief from physical discomfort and tension.

Is CBG Legal in All 50 States?

CBG is legal in all 50 states. It’s federally legal as of 2018 thanks to the passing of the Farm Bill which legalized all hemp-derived products possessing no more than 0.3% delta 9 THC. No state has banned CBG, and so it can be purchased anywhere in the country.

How Does CBG Work?

As a cannabinoid, CBG attaches itself to cannabinoid receptors belonging to the endocannabinoid system, a bodily system found in every mammal. This attachment process allows the body’s cannabinoid receptors to regulate the functions of nearby bodily processes, playing a role in creating a state of homeostasis within the body.

Will CBG Make Me Feel High?

Like CBD, CBG is a non-intoxicating cannabinoid. This means that even in large doses, CBG will not cause intoxication. There are no mind-altering effects associated with CBG, although some people do say that it offers uplifting effects to their mood.

What Kinds of CBG Products are There?

CBG comes in all of the same product forms as CBD. This means that at The Calm Leaf, you can find a great selection of:

  • CBG flower
  • CBG vape pens
  • CBG vape cartridges
  • CBG edibles
  • CBG topicals
  • CBD tinctures
  • CBG concentrates (dabs)

What is CBG Flower?

CBG flower refers to the raw hemp buds that are picked prior to CBG naturally converting into CBD, THC and other cannabinoids. This means that CBG flower contains the naturally high concentration of cannabigerol found in hemp before this conversion process takes place. CBG flower is low in CBD as a result. Like CBD flower, CBG flower comes in a specific variety of strains from which you can choose.

Is CBG Pet-Friendly?

CBG is nontoxic to pets, and non-intoxicating, so ultimately it is pet-friendly. But, if you wish to give your pet a hemp product, you must consult your veterinarian. At The Calm Leaf, we offer CBD products that are developed just for pets which are free of harmful ingredients and contain appropriate milligram strengths for their species. It’s important to only give your cat or dog a CBD product made specifically for pets.

Can I Take CBG and CBD Together?

CBG and CBD can absolutely be taken together, either at the same time or during a 24-hour period. Taking the two cannabinoids together will not cause a high or a negative interaction. And, these cannabinoids work together synergistically, meaning that they can enhance the effects of one another.

Will CBG Make Me Feel Sleepy?

CBG is not a cannabinoid that’s particularly known for causing sleepy effects – in fact, it may introduce the opposite. Some people find that hemp products in general cause mild drowsiness, but it’s usually mild and short-lived. If you feel that CBG makes you sleepy, consider taking it in the evening when you don’t have any major responsibilities.

Can I Take CBG if I’m on a Medication?

CBG may suppress CYP3A4, an enzyme needed to break down many medications. If you are on any medications, consult your doctor about taking cannabigerol products. Only your doctor can offer personalized medical advice when it comes to hemp products and medications.

Will CBG Cause Me to Fail a Drug Test?

CBG will not result in a positive drug test result. Not only is it a non-intoxicating substance, but drug tests do not look for cannabigerol. Standard urine tests are identifying THC-COOH, an enzyme that specifically breaks down THC compounds in cannabis.

Can CBG Help Me with Pain?

Most people who take CBG do so for its potential anti-inflammatory properties. Most of the studies done on CBG focus on this property in particular. Each person’s results may vary, but overall CBG seems to be one of the best choices out of all of the hemp compounds for this specific effect.

What Time of Day is Best for Taking CBG?

CBG can be taken at any time of the day. It’s not intoxicating, and not really associated with drowsiness. Therefore, feel free to take CBG when you would like.

Can I Take CBG Daily?

CBG is a cannabinoid that can be taken daily. In fact, this may make it more effective. CBG works cumulatively, meaning that the more consistently you take it, the better the results may be.
