You’ve Heard of THC and CBD, but What About CBG and CBC?

When visiting your local Tokyo Smoke recently, you’ve probably noticed the growing trend of product labels highlighting cannabinoid profiles. This is great to see, as information and transparency are important. However, this information is only helpful if you know what it means.

Let’s break down two lesser-known but promising compounds: CBG (Cannabigerol) and CBC (Cannabichromene).

What Are CBG and CBC?

CBG and CBC are phytocannabinoids found within the trichomes of the cannabis plant. While research remains in its early stages, users have reported a range of potential benefits.

Potential Benefits of CBG

Anti-inflammatory properties
May help manage nerve pain
Known as the “Mother of All Cannabinoids” for amplifying other cannabinoids
May help increase appetite and reduce nausea
Reported to improve mood and concentration
May reduce brain fog and increase alertness

Potential Benefits of CBC

Can stimulate the mind and increase alertness
Often associated with daytime use
May improve mood and energy
Reported to enhance concentration

Dosing and Effects

CBG and CBC are typically consumed orally through oils, capsules, or edibles. These cannabinoids are fat-soluble, requiring consistent use for the body to fully absorb and utilize them.

Cannabinoid-infused beverages, on the other hand, often provide quicker onset due to the emulsification process used during formulation.

Cannabinoids like CBG and CBC work in harmony with terpenes and other cannabinoids in an experience known as the Entourage Effect. This collaborative interaction can enhance benefits and provide greater relief.

While many users report positive results from taking CBG and CBC, it’s important to remember that effects will vary from person to person depending on their individual needs. Consumers should always consult with a healthcare provider before incorporating new cannabinoids into their wellness routine.
