Hemp tea with CBG

Since the partial legalization of hemp, research funding in the field of medical hemp has increased significantly.With federal states such as Colorado providing $ 10 million in research funding, we'll probably learn more about the benefits and effectiveness of hemp. As the bans on scientific cannabis trials are finally relaxed, the true interaction between governments and the pharmaceutical industry could soon be revealed.Patients receiving medicinal hemp may currently purchase various varieties that have a high THC or CBD content. CBG-containing hemp varieties are currently not available on the market, but that should change soon.

All cannabinoids begin with CBG

Cannabigerol (CBG) is a minor cannabinoid that occurs in the early growth phase of the hemp plant and is obtained from its buds during flowering. That's why it's hard to win big amounts of it.It has recently been discovered that commercial hemp produces more CBG than other cannabis strains. Further investigations were made and the cause could be identified as a recessive gene, which made hemp breeders sit up and take notice.Thanks to this knowledge, the breeders were able to produce hemp varieties with a recessive gene, which greatly increases the production of CBG in the plant.

Patients receiving medical hemp benefit particularly from legalization in some US states, as the availability of medical hemp products has risen sharply. The business is flourishing and new varieties with different therapeutic focuses are now appearing on the market.

Chemists in California and Oregon have developed laboratory tests and these are becoming increasingly popular in the industry. The laboratory tests allow patients to find a variety that suits their cannabinoid profile.The cannabinoid profile allows patients to see in detail the composition of each cannabinoid contained in their drug. This is accompanied by a growing interest in subordinate cannabinoids such as CBD and CBG on the part of patients.

How CBG hemp tea works?

CBG offers several therapeutic applications, according to a report by Ethan B. Russo, published in the British Journal of Pharmacology. This includes:

-      slightly antifungal effect

-      inhibits the spread of keratinocyte therapy in psoriasis

-      CBG has a promising effect on breast cancer when combined with L-limonene (a citrus type found in hemp)

-      pure CBG and CBD are very effective against MRSA (multidrug-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) 

Thanks to the development of new hemp strains containing CBG, breeders will be able to produce hybrid varieties with CBD and CBG. This will open up completely new possibilities in hemp breeding in the future. The future prospects for medicinal hemp are promising and both research and hemp growers are optimistic about the development of hemp varieties with CBG.
