Overview - Cannabigerol (CBG)

Description of Cannabigerol (CBG)

Cannabigerolic acid (CBGA) is the precursor to cannabigerol (CBG). CBGA was isolated and characterized by R. Mechoulan and Y. Gaoni in 1965.


CBG is a non-psychoactive cannabis constituent (R. Mechoulam et al., 1970).


It is the central biosynthetic precursor to many cannabinoids. Therefore, CBG is often referenced as the "mother of all cannabinoids."


CBD is generally considered a safe phytocannabinoid.
