Smokable CBG Flower: Now Available In Our Miami Store

April 15, 2021

Smokable hemp flower derives from the Cannabis Sativa plant. With less than 0.3% THC, smoking CBG flower is one of the quickest ways to reap the benefits of CBG. Thus far, CBG has largely been sold in processed forms such as oils, tinctures, vape oil, and topicals rather than as the unaltered flowers which preserve its inherent benefits. Celebrated for its therapeutic and medicinal properties, CBG is popular largely due to its low viability for intoxication.

Like tobacco, CBG flower can be smoked from a pipe or a pre-roll, providing a popular and pleasurable pastime that also imparts medical benefits to patients. 

Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and CBG are similar in that they are both abundant cannabinoids that are found in cannabis plants. Both flowers smell alike and, from the outside looking in, visually there is very little difference between the two. With the same chemical structure, the biggest difference between them is their intoxicating (or lack thereof) effect. 

CBG is known for its non-psychoactive property. However, though CBG won’t provide a ‘high’, it does deliver a calming feeling – which makes it ideal to treat anxiety and pain. Smoking CBG amplifies the effect as the bioavailability of CBG is greater through the gateway of the lungs as opposed to the stomach. Almost 50 percent of CBG makes it into the blood if smoked, while only 5% of the substance reaches the blood via eating. 

Therefore, the inhalation of hemp flowers sends cannabinoids via the lungs makes it to the bloodstream quicker in order to circulate throughout the body. 

Although the hemp plant doesn’t produce a significant amount of THC, it is still capable of producing medicinally rich CBG in high concentrations. 

Smokable CBG flower is minus any cancerous carcinogens making it an excellent alternative for patients wanting to live a healthier lifestyle. It can also help those wanting to stop smoking. A recent survey shows that 24% of cigarette smokers used smokable CBG in an attempt to quit smoking and of these, 47% were actually successful.

Among other health benefits, there is emerging evidence of Smokable CBG’s effectiveness in the treatment of epilepsy by reducing seizures. Patients have also used CBG flower to treat symptoms of depression and anxiety, insomnia, as well as in managing pain. 

Other conditions helped by CBG include stress, inflammation, cramps, nausea, and migraines. 

An added benefit to smoking CBG vs THC flower is that CBG doesn’t result in side effects such as sapped energy, coordination problems and slower reaction times, or cottonmouth and red eyes – and the dreaded “munchies!” most often associated with THC.
