Today, processing is the key to success in the cannabis industry, and any company wishing to succeed must be GMP certified (Good Manufacturing Processes), and it is best to have an FDA pharmaceutical manufacturing license. It must be noted that few companies possessing both elements and that includes even the biggest international companies.
I do believe the FDA will eventually step up to protect consumers from poorly manufactured products. A recent example of the poor state of affairs in this industry is the independent testing of vape products earlier this week that found that not a single vape product (that includes the best known brands) contained the ingredients listed on their labels. Even fewer companies process the research needed to back up their claims.
Is Cannabigerol (CBG) the next big thing?
Harvested and dried cannabis or hemp material only contains trace amounts of cannabigerol (CBG), and it is often considered to be a “minor” cannabinoid. However, when one starts to take a closer look, a different picture emerges.
First discovered in 1964 by Israeli researchers Yehiel Gaoni and Raphael Mechoulam, CBG plays a significant role in the biology of cannabis plants.
CBG is the precursor, the stem cell, the mother of THC and CBD. Until recently, the outstanding medicinal properties of this cannabis constituent were rarely studied.
CBG is a non-psychoactive compound that comes from cannabigerolic acid (CBGA), which is the chemical parent to some of the most well-known cannabinoids like tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD). If you think of cannabinoids as existing in a family tree, CBGA sits at the top, with tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCA), cannabidiolic acid (CBDA), cannabichromenic acid (CBCA), and CBG as its direct “descendants.”

Naturally occurring enzymes transform the CBGA into THCA, CBDA, and CBCA; heat, from the sun or a flame, decarboxylates the CBGA, turning it into CBG. Because CBGA is converted into so many different molecules, there is relatively little CBG (less than 1% of the cannabinoid makeup) contained in the cannabis plant.
Generally speaking, if a cannabis strain contains higher amounts of THC and CBD, it will contain less CBG. However, as more research is conducted on the potential therapeutic uses for cannabigerol, a high-CBG strain may soon be developed. The good news is that Cannabigerol (CBG) is found in higher concentrations in Hemp as opposed to weed selectively bred for high psychoactive THC content.

While it may be possible to interrupt the enzymatic action to greatly elevate CBG concentrations, it is feasible to extract CBG from Hemp in useful quantities. However, it is my belief that an elite medicinal cannabis supplier will someday take on this issue and develop a process that eliminates or substantially reduces the enzymatic action that breaks down CBG.
What can CBG do?
• Control stress, anxiety, anger, energy by the suppression of release of norepinephrine (noradrenaline)
• Stimulates High blood pressure dropping to low.
• Constriction of certain arteries, heart (coronary artery)
• Constriction of some vascular smooth muscle, veins
• Decrease motility of smooth muscle in gastrointestinal tract
• Inhibition of lipolysis, the breakdown of complex fats (lipids) into fatty acids
• Facilitates cognition, activity in the prefrontal cortex (PFC; working memory, attention, executive functioning, etc.)
• Sedative effects
• Analgesia effects

Much more can be written about Cannabigerol (CBG), but this short write-up is a tantalizing introduction to what could become a major new development in the cannabis industry.
