Last month, I explored CBN for sleep benefits, and I am now exploring the benefits of CBG. If you are a user of CBD, keep reading to learn more about CBG.
CBD is a term that many people have heard about, and many know that it is a hemp-based cannabinoid that has many benefits for pain, relaxation, sleep, and more. This natural supplement has been around for quite some time and has gained popularity since 2017.
I remember when I started using CBD, back in 2017, when it was still new for some folks. I discovered the benefits of CBD for sleep and muscle pain. While I knew that CBD was a safe, natural product from the hemp plant, I remember the controversy that was going on with the FDA. My husband worked for the health department, and I remember his disapproval of my usage of CBD.
We have come a long way in the safety regulations of CBD, and it is cool to see this natural supplement being legal in almost every state. I have been using CBD products since 2017 and have been featuring CBD on my website since 2018. Check out one of my first CBD articles. Reading this article brought back memories of my family calling me a stoner for using CBD oil. I remember how I had to explain to them, way too many times, that you can not get high from CBD.
The world of CBD has expanded with research and knowledge
With more acceptance of CBD and cannabis products, more research has been done on these hemp products. This research has led to more types of CBD products being offered. My learning and brand opportunities have expanded to trying new forms of CBD. Last month, I tried a sleep aid with CBN in its formula, and this month I am trying Focus + Drive CBG Gummies. Through all this product sampling, I am learning more about CBD, CBD, and CBG.
If you are confused about all of these items, this is a good place to learn more about hemp products.
What is CBG?
Cannabigerol, CBG, is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid found in the cannabis plant, and it is considered to be the 'mother of cannabinoids' as all other cannabinoids are derived from cannabigerolic acid (CBGA). For example, CBDA and THCA start out as CBGA. Due to the fact that CBG eventually becomes other cannabinoids, CBG is primarily found in young cannabis plants. One way to interpret this is that the CBD industry is largely supported by CBG.
Benefits of CBG
Through some research on CBG, I discovered that it has many benefits that are still being explored.
+ Managing stress levels* - The benefits of increased serotonin durations can naturally promote reduced stress levels.
+ Reducing pain and inflammation* - Pain relief has been one of the chief functions of medicinal marijuana. CBG has been shown to have inflammatory properties while it has greater analgesic attributes than THC.
+ Anti-bacterial* - A study in 2020 revealed that CBG was anti-bacterial against a bacterium that causes staph infections. Early research may indicate broader application of CBG to benefit people affected by bacterial infections.
+ Relieve anxiety* - Products that utilize cannabis extracts have been used to manage anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues. CBG does not have the intoxicating properties of THC or other cannabinoids that produce a high. Therefore, it can be deemed a far safer approach to enjoying the therapeutic properties without the negative side effects.
Slumber Extra Strength CBG Gummies
I was offered a sample of Slumber Extra Strength CBG Gummies. I decided to try this CBG product for these benefits that were stated by the company of the product:
+ Boost clarity and mood
+ Encourages a mental flow state
+ Aids in inflammatory response
I also like that the product contained ingredients that I was familiar with ~ Hemp Derived Cannabigerol, and no artificial colors or flavors.

What are CBG Gummies?
Glad you asked! CBG, short for cannabigerol, is a non-intoxicating cannabinoid from the hemp plant. Some may describe CBG's effects as "uplifting, enhancing, and energizing". CBG has been shown in studies to provide the following effects:
+ Energy - CBG is known for acting as a stimulant to increase focus and mental clarity*
+ Mood Enhancing - CBG elevates mood by interacting with serotonin receptors*
+ Neuroprotective - Early studies show CBG may support brain health and function*

My experience with Slumber Extra Strength CBG Gummies
The first time that I tried the CBG Gummies, I decided to split the 30 mg gummy into 2 pieces, since I tend to be sensitive to medicines and supplements. I have also only used 10mg of CBD at a time and wanted to see how my body reacted to the CBG. The last thing that I wanted was having my body too relaxed during the day. CBD is known for its relaxation benefits.
The gummy had a nice apple taste. After I chewed the gummy, I drove 30 minutes to pick up my son from a meet, and once I got back home, I sat down to do some writing. I thought that I would be tired, as I have mostly used CBD products for sleep, but I was not tired. In fact, I felt like my brain was working better.
I was able to focus better on my writing and got my article done quicker. Some people have described this CBG gummy as feeling like a cup of coffee without the jitters. I so agree with that feeling. I did not feel energized like I do when I work out, but my brain had some amazing energy.
I will be using Slumber Extra Strength CBG Gummies while I am doing my work. For now, I will stick with 1/2 of a gummy as that amount works for me. That is how CBD works: you start out with a small amount and adjust it until you find your dose.
