Does anyone have any experience using CBG (Cannabigerol)??

From the list of disorders it's said to show benefits for, it seems to compliment and take up where CBD leaves off. The company I use for my CBD tincture just added CBG so I'm thinking about ordering the CBD/CBG combo tincture the next time I order.

The interesting thing I read is plants with a high THC content do not contain much CBG, and that CBG can be used to mitigate an unpleasant 'trippy high' from a high THC product. Admittedly, this happened to me for the very first time, very recently and I WISH I had some CBG on hand.

While skimming through Latest Threads, I read the title as “Does anyone have any experience with Cannibals?”

Unless, of course, the trippy high resulted in some maniacal munchies!!

It worked good for that, but unfortunately, the oil tore my stomach up so I had to stop it.

Tried oils. Tasted like crap and I still liked the pot effects better.

I do have a vape pen with an Indica cartridge that I sometimes use but gummies are my preferred way to ingest.

I find smoking to be too harsh.
