CBG v.s. CBGa
what is the difference?
CBG is the “mother of all cannabinoids” because all cannabinoids start at CBGa (CBG’s precursor) and then morph into THC, CBD, and the like as the plant grows. Products with CBG are often reported to have mood elevating effects. If you’re looking for some ganja that will lift your spirits without inducing couch-lock or anxiety, then look for products with CBG reported on the label.
