CBG—short for cannabigerol—has a way of showing up in cannabis conversations right after someone says, “I want relief, but I don’t want to feel too high.” In the world of medical marijuana Florida patients, CBG has become one of the most-requested “minor cannabinoids” because it’s non-intoxicating on its own, often described as clear-headed, and it plays a unique role in how the cannabis plant makes many of the compounds we already know and love.
