Cannabigerol, or CBG for short, is the Mother of all cannabinoids: meaning that everything from CBN to THCv comes from a variation of this nifty little molecule.
CBG is known as a calming, yet non-stimulating/non-drowsy (not to be used as a sleep aid) cannabinoid that often promotes a sense of well-being and ease. Like CBD, it can also work to balance out the psychoactive properties of THC; some folks experience a pleasant, balanced effect from products containing both of those cannabinoids.
