CBG

What is CBG?

CBGa and its decarboxylated friend CBG, or cannabigerol, is sometimes called the mother of all cannabinoids. Why is that? In short, CBGa is a precursor to many other cannabinoids found in cannabis or hemp. CBGa is converted to other cannabinoids like THCa and CBDa as the plant matures, or through special processes during extraction and product manufacturing
