CBG, short for Cannabigerol, is another Cannabinoid that's organically derived from hemp or Cannabis. It is known as the 'Grandmother' of all phytocannabinoids, as it is typically the first compound to form, which then leads to THC, CBD, and other cannabinoids to develop in the plant. Originally discovered in the 1960's, CBG was one of the least studied cannabinoids in Cannabis and until recently, one of the rarest - a typical Cannabis plant contains less than 1% CBG. Modern developments in Industrial Hemp have allowed us to isolate and now farm strains that are bountifully-rich in CBG. Using these new strains, hemp companies like Metolius are able to grow plants that primarily produce CBG as the main Cannabinoid, from which we harvest buds that are then dried and cured to create smokable-hemp flower. Similar to CBD and thought to be even more effective, CBG is revered for its pain-relieving, antibacterial & anti-nausea properties, as well as stress relief benefits. CBG may just be the most medicinally-impactful cannabinoid known to man!

CBD flower is sourced from either hemp or Cannabis plants that produce low quantities of THC. This type of smokable hemp is non-psychoactive, meaning it does not get you ‘high.’ The federal limit for THC in any CBD product is <.03%. In lieu of the psychoactive effects, consumers turn to CBD flower for an abundance of wellness benefits & calming properties. CBD is now widely used to help treat epilepsy, anxiety, nausea, pain, insomnia and stress. CBD has gained extreme popularity over the last decade in the health, wellness, cosmetics & skincare, and pet industries.

Isolate is CBD or CBG in its purest form (99%). Using traditional methods to extract only the Cannabinoid, stripping away all other compounds and removing phytocannabinoids (including those unwanted psychoactive substances such as THC), separating other plant matter, we are left with only CBD or CBG compounds from the hemp plant. Derived from this crystalline solid, we then create a fine powder of isolate with which Metolius products are enhanced. The benefits of this extraction process leave us with a pure, isolated form of CBD or CBG which is easy to use for proper dosage, efficacy, zero THC, and more versatility.  

As cannabinoids, CBD and CBG interact with the Endocannabinoid System. While THC phytocannabinoids typically only bind to our CB1 & CB2 receptors, it has been shown that CBD binds to both the CB1 and CB2 receptors as well as interacting with other biological systems in our bodies to provide a wide array of wellness benefits. CBD & THC actually have an opposite relationship when it comes to ECS receptors, as CBD is an inverse agonist to CB1 receptors; meaning CBD actually has the potential to curb negative side effects of THC when taken in unison, as it can trigger a reverse reaction from CB1 receptors. CBG is also a phytocannabinoid that binds with both the CB1 & CB2 receptors, triggering effects from the CNS (central nervous system) to relieve pain and reduce swelling, as well as encouraging general wellbeing.
