CBG (cannabigerol) was discovered in the 1960's. We have come a long way since then, and you can now buy CBG flower, hash, oil, edibles, pre-rolls, vapes, cartridges, and much more in Ireland.
There are over 120 known cannabinoids in the cannabis plant, and counting. Most contain beneficial health and wellbeing properties, and are sought in one form or another worldwide. The most profound compounds are probably THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), and of course CBD (cannabidiol).
THC is the mind-altering compound that is widely illegal in most countries. It is also known as Delta 9. There are varying degrees of penalties for those who break the law by cultivating, supplying and using this cannabinoid. However, extensive research and study has shown that THC has numerous health benefits, and some use this amazing compound to medicate themselves to relieve not only chronic pain, but many other ailments. It is a natural healer that is growing in abundance globally. Stringent laws and regulations are in place to guide, and to try to ensure that the cultivation of THC is safe and legal. Although many do try home-based cultivation, sometimes to their detriment.
In contrast to THC, CBD is completely legal, and has rocketed to fame in the cannabis world. It has also been recognised for it's healing properties. It can not only be found with suppliers online, it is also widely available on our high streets. It is very popular with those who prefer to take a natural route when addressing health and wellbeing conditions.
EU Regulations and Guidelines are stringent, and to remain lawful, CBD must contain <0.2% THC, although in some countries <0.3% THC is acceptable.
In recent years CBG has been making a name for itself, despite being around for a number of years. It is known as the mother of all cannabinoids, this is because of it's robust composition. It is the first cannabinoid of the cannabis plant. It is also non-psychoactive like CBD.
However, CBG can be more expensive than CBD as small amounts are produced in cultivation. It reacts with our own endocannabinoid system. The CB1 and CB2 receptors that are present naturally within our bodies interact very well with CBG.
CBG can give amazing health benefits, and there are various forms of CBG to choose from.
You can buy CBG flower in Ireland and other countries globally. The flower bud is a versatile form that can be smoked or ingested. Smoking CBG is not recommended with harmful tobacco, but it can be mixed with CBD for instance, to give an entourage effect.
Suppliers of CBG will more often than not provide a laboratory analysis with the purchase of any product. This will show lawful levels of cannabinoids present, plus other relevant information.
