However, CBG does seem to have some different functions and health benefits than CBD. The main difference between CBD and CBG comes down to the level of research available. There's been a decent amount of research on CBD, but not so much on CBG.

Chemically, CBG is the big brother of CBD and THC. If Judy and Los are right, CBG might be the next big thing. The lesser-known cannabinoid, touted by cannabis advocates to be even more effective than CBD for anxiety and chronic pain, could even follow in CBD's market-disrupting footsteps.

While CBD is the most widely known cannabis sleep aid, and for good reason, CBN is a natural analgesic that can in some cases be even more effective. CBG has been linked to reduced pain relating to glaucoma, headaches, or ocular pain.

As a potential immunosuppressant, CBD may reduce the immune system's inflammatory responses, promote apoptosis (cellular death), and prevent rapid cellular growth. In certain cases, these features may have a negative effect on a healthy human's immune system

For those who struggle to get a better sleep, using CBG can help with that. CBG oil increased its popularity, especially for those who suffer from insomnia. Other stress-related disorders, like stress, anxiety, depression contribute to the lack of sleep

While CBG is not a stimulant, it does give a feeling of energy and focus that is similar to the effects of coffee. Users report being able to focus on one task for longer periods of time, with increased levels of productivity.

CBG is more untested. Unlike THC, which is banned by federal law and heavily regulated by states, and unlike CBD, which is increasingly policed by the Food and Drug Administration, there are no rules around CBG yet. CBD builds up in your body over time, if used regularly. This is why it's recommended you use it for at least a week to see if it works for you. If you only use it occasionally, it'll clear your system faster.
