The Rise of CBG
CBG is a cannabinoid that can be found in the cannabis plant alongside CBD and THC. Products containing CBG are on the rise and this cannabinoid has been showing some promise lately in being helpful with ailments such as irritable bowel syndrome and acting as a anti-inflammatory, anti-depressant, neuroprotectant, and much more. This cannabinoid has started to catch more of the spotlight lately and you can find it in products such as tinctures from Polite and Fairwinds and vapes from Fairwinds and Passion Flower Cannabis Collective.
CBG has shown to significantly reduce inflammation in the gut. Our gut is loaded up with CB1 receptors and it appears that CBG may bind to these CB1 receptors. This not only reduces nausea and inflammation but also helps with increasing appetite. Additionally, In a recent study that was done on mice who had colorectal cancer, CBG showed great promise as a cancer fighter. It was summarized that CBG blocks the receptors that cause cancer cell growth.
In 2015 a study was conducted on mice with a neurodegenerative disease called Huntington’s. The CBG slowed the deterioration of neurons in the brain, showing to be a powerful neuroprotectant. This study is exciting because it shows that CBG could be a potential treatment for other neurodegenerative diseases like Alzhheimers and Dementia and also shows why CBG could help with other things such as stress and anxiety.
Taking CBG daily can not only help any of the ailments listed above, it can also help keep your mood balanced in addition to helping manage stress and pain levels. Recreational users can also benefit from taking CBG on the regular. Not every cannabis user is looking for the cannabis equivalent to Everclear. Many users are seeking a high that isn’t foggy, sedatating, or causes them anxiety. CBG is exactly that, when CBG and THC are mixed together, many users report a more focused, and happier high that is also more social.
Sour Tangie Vape With CBG
Passion Flower Cannabis Collective is a new brand at Locals Canna House. They offer flowers, concentrates, vapes, and vapes with added CBG. All of their products are grown without pesticides because well, pesticides are gross. This is a large central theme for the Passion Flower Cannabis Collective.
After reading all the wonderful things about CBG I had to pick up a product and try it out for myself. This Sour Tangie was exactly what I had hoped it would be. It has tastes of orange, diesel, and lemongrass and was tasty with a terpene count of almost 10%! Having CBG mixed into the product definitely did make the high much more active and clear-headed. The high was uplifted and cheerful and after smoking on it for a bit I did find myself with the munchies. I really enjoyed the Sour Tangie and would recommend it for anyone wanting a clear-headed high or for anyone that may need help stimulating their appetite. Come see the budtenders in our dispensary in Spokane Valley if you have any questions.
