A newer cannabinoid CBG (not CBD) could help

CBG is a cannabinoid created first before THC and CBD. Cannabis plants take around 9-12 weeks to mature. But about 2-3 weeks before CBD and THC are created the cannabis plant first creates CBG. CBG then goes on to transform itself into THC and CBD. CBG is meant to be great for mental diseases, i.e. Schizophrenia, depression and anxiety etc.

So to get CBG rich plants you will need to harvest your buds 2-3 weeks prior to harvest. But if you do this you will have no THC or CBD because THC and CBD are formed from CBG. You definitely will not get high.

I take CBD in vape form from cannavape uk company. They have a new vape oil out with about (I think I remember correctly) 20mg CBG and 250mg of CBD.
I’m looking forward to trying it. I really don’t like THC but my friends do. THC makes me have extremely fearsome panic attacks. CBD I can handle.

I’m looking forward to trying this CBG, it will be interesting. :slight_smile:

Also CBD really relaxes me. I would like to try it out without any antipsychotics.

Can you point us towards any research on this compound?

This is the uk site I buy my CBD oil from.
They have new products with CBD+CBG.
I’m gonna order some when I next get paid.

I thought this was interesting. A retired policeman who suffered from the disease Parkinsons tried medical marijuana for the first time. It’s quite remarkable what happens.

Only mention of CBG and schizophrenia in pubmed.

I’ve just been researching the CBD oil I got from Cannavape UK, and I think mines already has CBG in it, I think it just doesn’t say so on the bottle. No wonder I feel so relaxed, I think it’s the CBG. All other brands of CBD I never get this relaxed feeling. I’ve had the bottle for 3 days and I feel very calm and relaxed. It said on the site that their mandatory CBD oils contain 20mg of CBG as well as 250mg of CBD. It’s a great relaxation feeling.

I was watching the news and my body was in a relaxing trance, I really enjoyed it.

Also I was lying on my bed very stoned, but without the paranoia. This really could help me sleep.

I vape it.

Can someone from the UK order and try this CBD+CBG mixed oil to confirm this?

It’s funny because I took Abilify years ago I couldn’t feel anything, I could drink a whole bottle of rum and still not get drunk. But now the Abilify is slowly wearing off I can feel things, well I’m gradually starting to feel things. Like some days I can feel the effects of CBD and sometimes I can’t. The past week I’ve been more in touch with my feelings and can feel the effects. Some days I cant feel a thing. Well today I could feel the effects of this CBD+CBG and let me tell you I was totally relaxed. I recommend CannaVape oil. :slight_smile:

Here’s some more information on CBG. It appears it could treat colon cancer. My nan died of colon cancer.

Yes - the only (1 single) reference of research on this compound and schizophrenia (and not a study) - so its very, very early. Something to watch for over the coming years.

Call me paranoid but I don’t trust it. Wasn’t CBD found to not be very effective as the promising studies suggested? An effective antipsychotic with no side effects sounds too good to be true. And it’s a little wacky, my belief on this, but I don’t trust cannabis at all.

No thank you.
I will wait for the FDA approved CBD meds to come out.
I don’t trust all of these Marijuana based supplements that are out now.
Way too Risky.

True guys, I agree about waiting for pharmaceutical grade CBD and CBG. But I’m so impatient and hate this disease enough to try anything.

I like the oil though.

I believe that CBG is only now slowly becoming popular. It’s about time! And I think that’s great. CBG oil has helped me a lot with my longstanding migraines. I order at Cannapio.
not sure about schizophrenia though
