CBG has gained popularity in recent years due to its potential medicinal properties. Like other cannabinoids, it interacts with the body's endocannabinoid system, which is involved in a wide range of physiological processes including pain, inflammation, and mood.

Preliminary research suggests that CBG may have a number of potential therapeutic benefits. For example, it has been shown to have antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects, and may be useful in the treatment of glaucoma due to its ability to reduce intraocular pressure. It may also have antidepressant and anxiolytic properties, and may be helpful in the treatment of conditions such as anxiety and depression.

CBG is not as well-known as other cannabinoids such as THC and CBD, and it is often present in only trace amounts in most strains of cannabis. However, it is possible to produce cannabis strains with higher levels of CBG through selective breeding and plant manipulation.

Despite the promising research on CBG, it is important to note that much of the current knowledge about the cannabinoid is based on preclinical studies and more research is needed to fully understand its potential benefits.
