What is CBG?

CBG (cannabigerol) is non-intoxicating, so it does not produce a high on its own. It is called the mother cannabinoid because the plant uses it to build THC, CBD, and others, which is why it is usually present in small amounts. Labels show CBG content in milligrams (mg).

CBG shows up most often in gummies, softgels, and drinks. Because it is a minor cannabinoid, you will usually see it paired with other cannabinoids on a label. Cannabis is for adults 19+.

CBG questions, answered

The things new customers ask us most.

Will CBG get me high?

No. CBG is non-intoxicating, so on its own it does not produce a high. Products may pair it with other cannabinoids, so check the label.

Why is CBG called the mother cannabinoid?

The plant uses CBG as a building block to make THC, CBD, and other cannabinoids as it grows. That is why mature flower usually contains only a small amount of CBG.

When do people take CBG?

CBG is popular in daytime products. The right timing depends on the format, since drinks act sooner than softgels.

What is the difference between CBG and CBD?

Both are non-intoxicating. CBD is the most common and most studied cannabinoid; CBG is rarer and usually present in smaller amounts. See our CBD guide to compare.
