CBG for Anxiety

We know that CBD and CBG can help alleviate pain, but what about anxiety? A study completed by Ethan Russo, MD, conducted research on whether cannabigerol (CBG) can also help with anxiety, stress and mood. (Russo is a neurologist and medical researcher who has studied and lectured around the world on the topic of cannabis).

A scientific, double-blind study was completed to test how humans can respond to anxiety when using CBG. Subjects were given an anxiety-provoking task to perform. Later, they were given another task but with a dose of either CBG or a placebo. Interestingly, those who were given CBG felt much less stress than the placebo group. An unexpected aspect of the study was that subjects’ verbal memory was also improved. Additionally, subjects did not experience cognitive or motor impairments.
