Ultimate Guide to CBG

CBG from OilWell Cannabis Dispensary of Houston, Texas!

CBG in Houston, Texas: Hemp-Derived and Farm Bill Compliant

Most people have heard of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD) and their effects, but there are plenty more cannabinoids found in cannabis. Cannabigerol (CBG), which isn’t present in large quantities, may be beneficial for a number of conditions.

At OilWell CBD, we’re committed to providing a safe and natural way to healing and wellness. We strive to deliver top-quality hemp-derived cannabis products to our clients to help them achieve their wellness goals.

Important Medical Disclaimer: OilWell Cannabis does not make medical claims or claim to be medical experts. We work diligently with educated individuals to provide the best possible products, which can be considered a safe addition to a treatment plan if approved by your medical provider. Our commitment to transparency means all product formulas are openly open-sourced for public scrutiny, allowing you to understand the composition fully and even create your own versions if you prefer.

What Is CBG?

Cannabigerol is a cannabinoid obtained from the cannabis plant and often referred to as the “mother of all cannabinoids.” This is due to the fact that all other cannabinoids are derived from cannabigerolic acid (CBGA), an acidic form of CBG.

CBG is found in smaller quantities than other cannabinoids, at roughly 1 percent. This is compared to roughly 20 to 25 percent CBD and 25 to 30 percent THC found in most plants. Because of this, consumer products containing CBG are rare and more expensive than other cannabinoids.

Groundbreaking Clinical Research: CBG’s Therapeutic Revolution

Washington State University Clinical Trial (2024)

In a landmark study published in Scientific Reports (2024), researchers at Washington State University conducted the first human clinical trial investigating CBG’s effects on anxiety and stress. Led by Associate Professor Carrie Cuttler, this double-blind, placebo-controlled study with 34 healthy participants revealed groundbreaking findings about CBG’s therapeutic potential.

The research demonstrated that 20 mg of hemp-derived CBG significantly reduced feelings of anxiety at 20, 45, and 60 minutes after ingestion compared to a placebo. Stress ratings also decreased at the first time point compared to the placebo. These findings align with survey data indicating that 51% of CBG users consume it to decrease anxiety, with 78% asserting its superiority over conventional anxiety medications.

Memory Enhancement Discovery

One of the most surprising outcomes was CBG’s effect on memory enhancement. Contrary to expectations based on THC’s known effects on memory impairment, CBG significantly enhanced the ability to recall lists of words. Participants were able to recall more words after taking 20 mg of CBG than after taking a placebo, with the enhancement being statistically significant according to the WSU research team.

Safety Profile and Non-Intoxicating Effects

The study found that CBG did not produce cognitive or motor impairments, or other adverse effects commonly associated with THC. Participants reported low intoxication ratings and minimal changes in symptoms like dry mouth, sleepiness, and appetite, making CBG an attractive alternative for therapeutic applications without psychoactive effects.

How Does CBG Work?

CBG is derived from young cannabis plants because they have higher concentrations of CBG than mature plants. Both THC and CBD begin as CBGA, an acidic form of CBG, which is why younger plants have higher concentrations. As the plant develops, CBG is converted into CBD and THC.

Certain strains of cannabis have higher CBG content than other strains, due to specific cultivation. Growers are able to cross-breed and genetically manipulate the plants to produce higher concentrations of CBG.

In the body, CBG is processed by the endocannabinoid system. This is a complex cell-signaling system that was first evaluated for its connection to THC. Continued research is needed, but researchers do know that the endocannabinoid system has numerous effects on the body, including sleep cycles, memory, mood, appetite, and more.

The endocannabinoid system is found in everyone. Cannabis isn’t part of it – the compounds just interact with it to produce similar effects as what the body does naturally.

The three components of the endocannabinoid system include endocannabinoids, receptors, and enzymes. Endocannabinoids are similar to the cannabinoids found in cannabis, but they’re produced independently. The two primary endocannabinoids identified by researchers are 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) and anandamide.

The two primary endocannabinoid receptors are:

Cannabinoid receptor type 1 (CB1), which is found in the central nervous system

Cannabinoid receptor type 2 (CB2), which is found in the peripheral nervous system and immune system

Endocannabinoids and cannabinoids can act on these receptors to illicit different effects on the body.

The two primary enzymes in the endocannabinoid system are monoacylglycerol acid lipase, which breaks down 2-AG, and fatty acid amide hydrolase, which breaks down anandamide.

The endocannabinoid system regulates numerous processes in the body, including inflammatory response, stress response, memory, sleep cycles, heart function, motor control, pain reception, metabolism, reproduction, and skin and nervous systems.

This is the primary function of how cannabinoids can produce therapeutic effects. Because the endocannabinoid system controls so many functions, different cannabinoids act on different endocannabinoids and can produce positive effects.

CBG works by binding to the two main endocannabinoid receptors and strengthens the function of anandamide, which enhances motivation and pleasure, alleviates pain, and regulates appetite. CBG has no THC and no psychoactive effects, so it doesn’t cause a euphoria or “high” feeling.

CBG Therapeutic Uses

CBG has many possible therapeutic effects, most notably with pain relief. Studies are limited in the effects of CBG for different health conditions, but it shows promise in animal studies and emerging human clinical trials.

Anxiety and Stress Management

According to the 2024 Washington State University clinical trial, CBG demonstrates significant anxiolytic (anti-anxiety) properties. The study revealed that 20 mg of CBG effectively reduced anxiety and stress without intoxication, making it a promising alternative to conventional anxiety medications. The research supports previous survey data showing that anxiety reduction is the primary reason people use CBG products.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)

Inflammatory bowel disease is a condition that causes chronic inflammation in the bowel. It has no cure and effects millions of people all over the world.

In an experimental study on animals, CBG was shown to have beneficial effects for people with inflammatory bowel disease. For the study, researchers induced effects similar to inflammatory bowel disease in mice and then gave them CBG. It was found to reduce the inflammation and the production of nitric oxide, which is a mediator of intestinal inflammation.

Huntington’s Disease

Huntington’s disease is a condition that causes degeneration of the nerve cells in the brain. In a 2015 study, researchers examined the neuroprotective properties of CBG and other cannabinoids in mice with similar effects as Huntington’s disease. The results showed that CBG has neuroprotective properties and protects the brain cells from damage. It also improves movement issues, which is a common symptom of Huntington’s disease.

Cancer

In early studies of CBG in rats with colon cancer, CBG showed promise in blocking the receptors that promote cancer cell growth and inhibiting the growth of those cancer cells. The results suggest that CBG could be part of the treatment, cure, and prevention of colon cancer.

Glaucoma

Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions that damage the optic nerve, which is necessary for healthy vision. The damage is caused by abnormally high pressure in the eye, and eventually leads to blindness.

In animal studies, CBG was shown to have therapeutic potential for treating glaucoma. Researchers gave CBG to cats with glaucoma and saw a reduction in eye pressure, as well as an increase in aqueous humor outflow. This is a fluid that’s produced by the eye and helps to maintain eye pressure.

Antibacterial Properties

CBG is one of the cannabinoids that has antibacterial properties. Its properties are particularly notable with methicillin-resistant strains of Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), a bacterium that is drug-resistant and can be deadly.

Skin Health and Anti-Inflammatory Effects

According to recent research published in 2024, CBG demonstrates significant skin health benefits. A clinical study highlighted the skin health-boosting attributes of CBG, where a 0.1% CBG serum yielded statistically significant improvements. Research suggests CBG’s ability to reduce acne-associated redness and inflammation, with its antioxidant properties also protecting the skin from oxidative stress.

Is CBG Legal?

Like CBD, CBG is legal to purchase, use, and produce under federal law as outlined in the Agriculture Improvement Act (2018 Farm Bill). All hemp-derived cannabinoids are legal under this bill, provided they’re sourced from hemp plants with no more than 0.3 percent THC.

It’s important to note, however, that while legal, CBG is largely unregulated. It’s vital to source products responsibly and do your research to ensure you’re getting a high-quality product that’s tested for potency.

At OilWell CBD, we test all of our products to ensure they’re safe and high-quality. We thrive on trust and transparency, and our CBG products are manufactured in small batches to ensure exceptional finished products.

CBG Products and Consumption Methods

CBG is most commonly produced as an oil, though it’s somewhat rare and may be expensive. You can also get some of the benefits of CBG from broad-spectrum CBD oils, which contain all the cannabinoids found in the plant – minus the THC.

You may also find CBG in tinctures, capsules, gum, and in whole-plant flower.

When cannabinoids are used together, they can enhance each other’s efficacy. This is known as the “entourage effect.” Multiple cannabinoids can produce positive effects on a whole that are greater than their individual effects. In addition, the entourage effect leads cannabis compounds other than THC to act synergistically to modulate the overall psychoactive effects of cannabis.

Sublingual Administration: Tinctures and oils placed under the tongue provide rapid absorption with effects beginning within 15-45 minutes, ideal for anxiety and stress management based on clinical research.

Vaporization: Provides immediate bioavailability with effects typically beginning within 2-5 minutes, perfect for acute anxiety episodes or memory enhancement needs.

Edible Consumption: Gummies and other edibles provide longer-lasting effects with onset typically occurring within 60-120 minutes and duration of 6-12 hours, suitable for sustained anxiety management.
