CBG (cannabigerol) is also a cannabinoid found in cannabis. It is often called the mother of all cannabinoids because all other cannabinoids are derived from cannabigerol acid. CBG is derived from young cannabis plants because they contain higher amounts of CBG than fully developed plants and is found in smaller quantities than other cannabinoids.

CBG has a host of promising potential benefits, and more research is being done into easing the production and availability of the cannabinoid. However, CBG is much less researched and understood than CBD, mainly because once the cannabis plant is fully grown, most of the original CBG has been converted into other compounds.
