Cbg Cannabinoid
Cannabigerol (CBG) is a non-intoxicating cannabinoid found in cannabis plants, often present in lower concentrations than THC or CBD in most strains. CBG is considered a precursor cannabinoid—the acidic form (CBGA) serves as a biochemical intermediate in the synthesis pathway that produces THC and CBD. Breeders and researchers have identified or developed strains with elevated CBG levels by selecting for genetic traits that alter cannabinoid metabolism. CBG-dominant strains typically contain 5–15% CBG by dry weight, though exact ratios vary by cultivar and cultivation conditions. Understanding CBG expression is relevant to cannabinoid diversity and plant biochemistry education.

Breeders interested in non-intoxicating cannabinoid profiles or cannabinoid diversity often work with CBG-rich genetics to stabilize high-CBG phenotypes. Selection for CBG expression requires understanding the underlying genetic and enzymatic factors that determine where the plant's cannabinoid synthesis pathway branches.
