Cannabigerol (CBG) - The Mother of All Cannabinoids!

Cannabigerol (CBG) is an important constituent of the cannabis plant. Although it is often referred to as a minor cannabinoid, it is the non-acidic form of the cannabigerolic acid (CBGA), the parent molecule from where all other cannabinoids are made. This is why CBG is often referred to as the mother of cannabinoids. CBG occurs in minute quantities in adult cannabis plants since CBGA is converted to other forms of cannabinoids like cannabidiol (CBD) and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). Only about 1% of the total concentration of CBGA gets converted to CBG. CBG was discovered by Yehiel Gaoni and Raphael Mechoulam in 1964 as a powerful, yet a non-intoxicating member of the cannabinoid family. The group of researchers isolated the compound from Hashish, a resin from an active flowering marijuana plant. During the flowering cycle, CBGA is either converted into tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCA) and cannabidiolic acid (CBDA), which are precursors for the famous THC and CBD. The remaining CBGA (about 1%) is later converted into CBG via the decarboxylation (removal of carbon) from the acidic group. Although most cannabis plants contain a little to no CBG, this narrative is about to change soon as growers are working towards making a CBG-heavy strain. Just like every other member of the cannabinoid family, CBG interacts with the endocannabinoid receptors (both CB1 and CB2) to stimulate their response. It is pertinent to note that these receptors play an active role in regulating cognitive activities like appetite, pain response, mood, and internal balance. Information from recent findings shows how CBG has a strong affinity for CB2 receptors. The CB2 receptors are expressed in the immune system, where they play regulatory roles in how our immune system responds to diseases. Original blog: https://www.newphaseblends.com/cannab...
