CBG, or cannabigerol, has been showing up more frequently in cannabis products, and you might be wondering why. Sometimes referred to as the “mother cannabinoid,” CBG is actually a precursor to more popular cannabinoids like THC and CBD.
CBG benefits are vast, with research suggesting the minor cannabinoid may aid in common concerns like digestion, focus, recovery, and the management of both inflammation and stress.
The CBG wellness trend is only rising in mainstream recognition, so here’s all you need to know about the minor cannabinoid that has everyone talking:
Does CBG Get You High?
Unlike THC, CBG is non-psychoactive. It’s quickly becoming one of the most popular non-psychoactive cannabinoids widely available.
The Entourage Effect
In nature, cannabis plants contain a unique combination of cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids individual to each cultivar. This combination depends on a number of factors including the microclimate of where the plant is grown, strain genetics, and more. The synergistic effect a consumer feels when experiencing these factors all together, is known as the entourage effect.
With cannabis flower, you experience the entourage effect naturally, but with products like our Smokiez 1:1 CBD:CBG Fruit Chews, you’ll also get to experience it. We’ve paired together THC, CBG, and botanically-derived flavors to provide consumers with a powerful synergistic experience with every use.

In moderate doses, CBG is generally safe for daily use. With continued use, symptoms might be better managed over time.
Who is CBG for?
• The aging population - Seniors might benefit from using CBG gummies as they’re pre-dosed and easy to use. Seniors can also use CBG for sleep in untraditional ways, as the minor cannabinoid is said to relieve inflammation and pain, providing sufferers less interruptions throughout the night.
• Athletes - CBG for athletes can be used orally or topically through CBG lotions and creams, or via CBG oil and other methods of oral delivery to aid in recovery.
• Desk workers - Desk workers can use CBG for pain and inflammation related to lack of movement throughout the day.
• Those pre-disposed to Alzheimer's - CBG has reported neuroprotectant benefits, so it might be worth it to try before the age of onset.
• People with IBS - CBG combats inflammation, and therefore, those with IBS might find some relief by utilizing it.
• Those with anxiety - CBG for anxiety just makes sense. Since CBG binds to both CB1 and CB2 receptors in the endocannabinoid system, it works fast and efficiently to help regulate mood and stress.
