Cannabigerol (CBG) is a type of cannabinoid referred to as the mother of all cannabinoids because without it, cannabis would have no high. This is because all other cannabinoids are derived from cannabigerolic acid (CBGA), an acidic form of CBG. CBG is found in smaller quantities than other cannabinoids in cannabis plants. In most strains of the plant, only 1% of CBG can be found CBG works by binding to both receptors where it’s thought to strengthen the function of anandamide, a neurotransmitter that plays a role in enhancing pleasure and motivation, regulating appetite and sleep, and alleviating pain. A 2021 patient survey indicated a majority of patients found CBG-dominant products effective in treating their chronic pain, anxiety, and insomnia, among other conditions.
