About CBG
CBG and CBD: What is the difference?
Unlike CBD, which has a relatively low affinity for cannabinoid receptors and acts mostly through indirect interactions with the endocannabinoid system, CBG is thought to elicit its therapeutic effects directly though interaction with the CB1 and CB2 cannabinoid receptors in the brain.
CBG benefits
The psychoactive cannabinoid THC also produces its effects though interactions with these CB1 and CB2 receptors, and CBG has been observed to work as a buffer to THC’s psychoactivity and can even alleviate the feelings of paranoia that sometimes come with consumption of high levels of THC.
Research is relatively sparse regarding the therapeutic benefits of CBG, but there are studies linking the compound to a whole host of potential therapeutic uses, such as:
Treating glaucoma, though its vasodilator and neuroprotective effects.
Decreasing inflammation, as seen in animal models of inflammatory bowel disease.
Combatting Huntingdon’s disease, again through its neuroprotective effects.
Inhibiting tumor growth, in animal models of colorectal cancer.
Killing drug-resistant bacteria, such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) etc.
