Before we dive into the differences between CBG and CBD, I’d like to share some of their most notable therapeutic benefits.
CBG and CBD are both non-psychoactive, so they don’t produce a “high.”
CBD is perhaps the most researched cannabinoid for its medical benefits. There is ample evidence to show that CBD may be able to help treat chronic pain conditions, neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases, autoimmune conditions such as multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, schizophrenia, and other psychiatric disorders, hypertension, nausea and vomiting during chemotherapy, digestive health conditions like Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and Crohn’s Disease.
CBG is another cannabinoid with promising therapeutic applications. CBG is known to have antibacterial, antifungal, and antiparasitic properties. It has also shown promise as an anticancer compound that inhibits the growth of cancer cells. CBG is able to reduce inflammation without causing psychoactivity like THC does.
