02 / Definition
What is CBG?
CBG (cannabigerol) is a non-intoxicating cannabinoid often called the “mother” or “parent” cannabinoid, because its acidic form (CBGA) is the precursor the plant converts into THCA, CBDA and other cannabinoids. Most mature plants contain only small amounts of CBG, as the majority has already converted. It features prominently in minor-cannabinoid and full-spectrum products.
