CBG Candies

CBG is a non-intoxicating cannabinoid found in hemp. It starts out as CBGA (cannabigerolic acid), which the plant converts into other cannabinoids, CBD and THC included, as it matures. That's where the "mother" nickname comes from, and honestly, it's a little wild that one compound sits upstream of so much of the plant. Scientists first identified CBG in the 1960s, and researchers are still working out how it behaves in the body.

Both are non-intoxicating cannabinoids from the same plant, but they're different compounds. CBD is one of the best-known cannabinoids and is still being studied. CBG is less common, plays a key part in how the plant produces other cannabinoids, and the research on it is at an earlier stage. You don't always have to choose between them, since a candy in this collection may contain both.

They're edibles infused with hemp-derived CBG, usually in a chewy, fruit-flavored format. They're discreet and easy to take with you. Some blend CBG with other cannabinoids, an approach tied to the entourage effect: the idea that hemp compounds act differently together than they do alone.

CBG by itself is non-intoxicating, so a candy made with only CBG won't bring euphoric effects. A candy that also contains Delta 9 THC will. Check the cannabinoid content on each product so you know which kind you're getting.

At the federal level, yes. Hemp-derived CBG is federally legal under the 2018 Farm Bill, as long as the hemp it comes from contains less than 0.3% Delta 9 THC. CBG itself isn't Delta 9 THC, so it meets that standard. States can write their own rules on hemp-derived cannabinoids, and some have.
