CBG: Healing Potential without Intoxication

CBG is a non-intoxicating cannabinoid, making it an excellent choice for treatment without inducing a high. Preliminary evidence suggests that CBG may have uplifting effects on mood, among other health benefits.

Remarkably, CBG has been used for medicinal purposes for millennia. Historically, African healers extracted CBG from an African plant called woolly umbrella helichrysum (Helichrysum umbraculigerum) to treat pain and insomnia. This highlights that cannabinoids aren't exclusive to cannabis and can be found in other plants with medicinal properties. Though CBG is gaining attention now, it has a long history of therapeutic use.

CBG and Neurotransmitters: Impact on Mood Regulation

CBG can influence the production and retention of neurotransmitters in the brain. Notably, several studies report that CBG may affect dopamine production by regulating the endocannabinoid system and maintaining anandamide levels in the brain. Anandamide, a natural endocannabinoid, is associated with feelings of bliss and overall well-being. Physical activities like exercise trigger the release of anandamide, leading to the "runner's high" or the post-workout euphoria. CBG, similar to CBD, inhibits enzymes from breaking down anandamide, which not only enhances feelings of bliss but also promotes dopamine release.

Dopamine plays a crucial role in the body's reward system, and it is released when engaging in pleasurable activities like exercise, eating, achieving goals, etc. Insufficient dopamine levels can lead to depression, mood disorders, sleep difficulties, low energy, memory problems, and lack of motivation. By preserving anandamide and influencing dopamine production, CBG becomes a promising candidate for treating depression, anxiety, and other mood disorders.

Enhancing Mood: CBG in Combination with CBD

Many believe that CBG's anti-anxiety benefits work best when combined with CBD for anxiety, stress, and depression. The entourage effect supports this notion, as users often experience better results when consuming multiple cannabinoids together rather than relying on a single isolated cannabinoid. BE CALM is a hemp flower oil which combines both CBD and CBG from 2 full-spectrum hemp extracts. This formula is also boosted with a custom terpene blend which operates synergistically with cannabinoids for increased results. If you suffer from stress and anxiety, BE CALM is an ideal companion for day or night.

Patient Experiences with CBG for Mood Enhancement

Researchers have recently explored the experiences of individuals using CBG to manage depression and anxiety. In a comprehensive patient survey conducted in 2021, 127 respondents who used CBG products shared their experiences and successes with CBG for their conditions.

Of the survey participants, 51% used CBG to address anxiety, while 33% used it for depression. The findings indicated that CBG users reported reductions in anxiety, chronic pain, depression, and insomnia. In the survey analysis, it was noted that "Efficacy was highly rated, with the majority [of respondents] reporting their conditions were 'very much improved' or 'much improved' by CBG." .
