What is the difference between CBD and CBG?

There are a lot of similarities between CBG and CBD, but there are also many differences. CBD has many benefits however, most of these benefits occur through indirect interactions with the endocannabinoid system, while CBG has shown to work directly with the CB1 and CB2 receptors in the brain. Another fact about CBG that most people don’t know is that CBG is the precursor molecule to CBD and THC. CBG will cast a shadow over these primary cannabinoids in the world of natural therapeutics, as more studies are completed and released to the public.
