TL;DR

CBG (cannabigerol) is a non-intoxicating cannabinoid found in hemp plants. Often referred to as a “parent cannabinoid,” CBG is becoming increasingly popular in flower, tinctures, gummies, and combination hemp products.

What Is CBG?

CBG (cannabigerol) is one of many naturally occurring cannabinoids found in hemp plants.

It is often referred to as a “parent cannabinoid” because:

  • Other cannabinoids develop from it during plant growth
  • It appears earlier in the plant’s lifecycle
  • Mature plants typically contain smaller amounts of CBG

👉 Because of its lower concentration in hemp, CBG products are often considered specialty cannabinoid products.

Why CBG Products Are Growing in Popularity

As interest in hemp-derived cannabinoids expands, CBG has become more common in:

  • Flower
  • Gummies
  • Tinctures
  • Vape products
  • Multi-cannabinoid blends

Many people explore CBG products because they:

  • Prefer non-intoxicating cannabinoids
  • Want to try different cannabinoid profiles
  • Enjoy exploring terpene-rich hemp products

👉 Product availability continues to expand each year.

How CBG Differs From CBD and THC

CBG (cannabigerol) and CBD (cannabidiol) are non-psychoactive cannabinoids that naturally occur in hemp. While they won’t get you high, they’re known for supporting mental clarity, relaxation, and overall body balance.
CBG is often referred to as the “mother cannabinoid” because other cannabinoids are derived from it. CBD, on the other hand, is celebrated for its calming, anti-inflammatory effects. When combined with THCa, these cannabinoids work synergistically in what’s known as the “entourage effect,” enhancing both the therapeutic benefits and overall experience of hemp flower.
Our Peaceful Pines strains are thoughtfully bred to deliver optimal levels of THCa, CBG, and CBD—providing a well-rounded, full-spectrum product designed to support your wellness goals.

Terpenes are aromatic compounds found in hemp and many other plants. They’re responsible for the unique scent and flavor profiles of each hemp flower strain and also contribute to the overall effects.
At Peaceful Pines Hemp Farm, our THCa flower is packed with naturally occurring terpenes that enhance not only the aroma and taste but also the therapeutic experience. Here are some of the most common terpenes in our strains:

CARYOPHYLLENE  – Pepper, Woody, Spicy

MYRCENE – Earthy, Herbal

LIMONENE – Citrus, Lemon, Orange

TERPINENE – Pine, Spicy

LINALOOL – Lavender, Floral, Spicy

BISABOLOL – Fruity, Nutty, Earthy

HUMULENE -Earthy, hoppy
