GlossaryCannabigerol

non-psychoactive cannabis compound, precursor to other cannabinoids

Cannabigerol (CBG) is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid found in the cannabis plant. It is often referred to as the "mother of all cannabinoids" because it is the precursor from which other cannabinoids, such as THC and CBD, are synthesized. CBG is being studied for its potential therapeutic benefits, including anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and neuroprotective properties.
