CBG

CBG is used for a similar purpose as CBD is, mostly to assist in general wellbeing and aid in relaxation. As a more potent cannabinoid it is most commonly used in oils, creating a product with powerful intensity. The difficulty in harvesting large quantities of CBG mean that it is rarely seen in as many different products as CBD, instead often being used to supplement broad-spectrum and full-spectrum CBD.

CBG interacts with the endocannabinoid system more thoroughly than CBD does. This makes its effects more potent than CBD, providing an intense experience with more comprehensive effects.  This makes CBG generally stronger than CBD, however it's relative scarcity means that it rarely is present in products in large enough numbers to match CBD. Our mixed oil is the exception, offering you a balanced and powerful mix of these two cannabinoids.

CBD and CBG are relatively similar compounds, both being naturally occurring cannabinoids. The acidic form of CBG, CBGA, is actually the precursor compound that all other cannabinoids are derived from, including CBD. CBG is distinct from CBD in the way that it interacts with the endocannabinoid system. Whilst CBD binds with specific endocannabinoid receptors, CBG binds with every kind of endocannabinoid receptor, resulting in a more intense experience.

No, CBG should not trigger a positive result on a drug test. Most conventional drug tests are looking for THC, of which our mixed CBG oil has none. Less conventional drug tests may measure for general cannabinoid content, which would probably result in a positive. If in doubt avoid use of any CBG products several days before taking a drug test.

Yes, CBG is legal to both manufacture and use in the UK. The laws surrounding CBG products are mostly concerned with their THC content rather than the CBG itself. So long as the CBG product in question sticks to the legal limit for THC content, it is entirely legal in the UK.
