CANNABINOID OF THE MONTH

What is CBG?

Cannabigerol, or CBG, is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid. Like THC, CBG reacts with the cannabinoid receptors in the brain. CBG, however, acts as a buffer to the psychoactivity of THC by working to alleviate the paranoia sometimes caused by higher levels of THC.

Potential Medical Value

The pharmacological effects of CBG can be described anti-fungal, antiinsect and anti-inflammatory activity; neuroprotective activity; stimulation of appetite, and enhancement of the death process of cancer cells
