CBD is one of the most prominent naturally occurring compounds found in hemp and cannabis plants. When CBD is extracted from hemp, it can be processed in many forms including ingestible oils, topical salves, smokable vapes, and edibles.
Known as cannabidiol, CBD interacts with receptors in the body’s Endocannabinoid System to deliver an array of wellness benefits. Research shows CBD is also a potent anti-inflammatory agent.

CBG (Cannabigerol) is considered the “mother cannabinoid” of hemp and cannabis plants because it can transform into compounds like CBD and THC under environmental conditions, like heat, age, and light.
CBG binds directly with CB1 and CB2 receptors in the body’s Endocannabinoid System to support internal balance. Reported CBG benefits include improved sleep and skin health with the proper CBG dosage.
Check out our recent blog to learn about CBG benefits, CBG dosage, and CBG edibles.
CBN is one of over 100 cannabinoids found in hemp and cannabis plants. Anecdotal evidence indicates CBN may support better sleep, pain relief, and increased appetite due to its interaction with the body’s Endocannabinoid System. In terms of its effects, some CBN users report mild psychoactive feelings, which may result from the compound’s sedative properties.

People take CBD, CBG, CBN and other hemp extracts for a variety of wellness purposes. Medical Mike’s customer report encouraging stories of CBD to aid in relaxation,, pain, skincare, and stress. Others tout CBG benefits for sleep, skin health, and nausea relief. When it comes to CBN, people also report better sleep along with reduced pain and increased appetite.
Despite CBD’s widely accepted benefits, it’s important to note that CBD is only FDA-approved for certain forms of epilepsy. CBD, CBG and CBN are not approved as supplements or medications for any other purpose. If you are interested in taking CBD CBG or CBN for your health, please consult with a medical professional first.

Unlike THC, CBD and CBG don't get you high. Most research indicates CBN is also non=psychoactive, However, this cannabinoid carries a little more nuance than the other hemp-derived compounds. Some evidence suggests CBN may be mildly psychoactive at high dosages due to its sedative effects and close chemical relation to THCa (the acidic precursor to THC), All that said, CBN absolutely does not produce the intense mind-altering effects associated with marijuana.
Cannabigerol (CBG) is one of the precursors to CBD, which means hemp plants convert CBG into CBD as they mature and become exposed to heat and light.
When it comes to CBG benefits vs CBD benefits, the two share similar effects as well as key distinctions. CBG is known to have the greatest effect on skin issues, sleep and appetite, while CBD is best known for stress and anxiety relief, pain, and muscle soreness.

You might be wondering which cannabinoid is better for you–CBG or CBD. The answer is not so simple. Since everyone processes hemp extracts differently based on dosage, delivery method, and metabolism, you may need to experiment with trying both CBG and CBD until you find the right dosage and potency to support your wellness goals.
For more context on the topic, check out our recent blog, “Is CBG Better than CBD?”
The best CBG dosage and milligrams is different for everyone, depending on their health condition, metabolism, age, weight and frequency of use. While it may take some trial and error, it’s still critical to keep experimenting until you find the proper CBG dosage for your needs. The best way to start is with a low dosage that you gradually increase over time.
Check out our blog on CBG dosage best practices to learn more.
Some people prefer to take CBG edibles over oils or smokable hemp because they prefer the taste and like that edibles tend to last longer than other delivery methods. Additionally, some people prefer CBG edibles because they’re more discreet.

Hemp’s aerial parts are the portions of the plant that grow above ground, including leaves, flowers and stems, which contain the highest potency of cannabinoids, terpenes and flavonoids. In contrast to hemp’s aerial parts, its seeds contain very few therapeutic compounds. So hemp extract produced from the aerial parts tends to contain the highest ratio of CBD, CBG and CBN compared to hemp seed oils.
