Is CBG the Next CBD? Doctors Weigh In on the 'Mother' of All Cannabinoids
I can't recall the first time I became aware of CBD. All I know is that I suddenly noticed the cannabis compound everywhere—CBD-infused lotions for achy muscles and joint pain; bars hawking CBD cocktails; droplets of it put in coffee at hip cafes; and, of course, the endless articles and news shows proclaiming it as an all-natural healthy alternative to addictive pain medicine. As sales soared, the market continued catering to the seemingly endless hunger for CBD. From candles to even clothing, CBD (aka cannabidiol) was being put into everything. In recent weeks, though, I became aware of CBG—the cannabinoid now being touted by many as not just the next CBD but perhaps an even better, more beneficial option.
