CBG (cannabigerol) in plain English
A minor cannabinoid, non-intoxicating, and the chemical precursor from which THC and CBD are formed in the plant.
CBG is present in small quantities in most mature plants because it is largely converted into other cannabinoids as the plant develops.
Interest in it is based on laboratory work rather than clinical trials. There is no licensed medical use of CBG in the UK and no controlled human evidence establishing benefit for any condition.
