  What is CBGa?  If you’re on the journey to understanding cannabis and its many compounds, you can’t overlook CBGa—what is CBGa, and how can you use it?  Cannabigerolic acid, known as CBGa, is one of many compounds in the cannabinoid family of molecules found in cannabis. It’s considered a minor cannabinoid, and the “a” indicates that it’s an acid and is a precursor to other cannabinoids. While it’s a minor cannabinoid, it’s a crucial part of the cannabinoid reactions that produce other minor and major cannabinoids, including THCa, CBDa, and CBCa.  Understanding CBGa CBGa, found more readily in younger cannabis plants, is extracted using a cold extraction or juicing process—if it’s heated under typical hemp extraction processes, it would convert to CBG. In its raw state, CBGa has the potential to have higher bioavailability and be absorbed by the body more readily. > CBGa Benefits: CBGa interacts differently in the body than CBG and ...

If you’re caught up in the differences between CBN and CBD, don’t distress. As the cannabis industry soars to new heights, growers and consumers are paying attention to many of the lesser-known cannabinoids, or compounds found in cannabis that interact with the body’s endocannabinoid system. To understand the differences between CBN and CBD, first consider CBD. Cannabidiol was the figurative headliner act of the 2018 Farm Bill that legalized this non-psychoactive compound and made hemp accessible in most states.  Now growers are highlighting and isolating different cannabinoids for their potential healing properties. Delta 8 THC, CBG, and HHC are all growing in popularity. While many of these cannabinoids are found in trace amounts in most strains, growers are able to isolate and extract certain compounds to create tinctures with higher concentrations of a cannabinoid. CBN is one of the latest cannabinoids to come into the spotlight.   Enter: CBN CBN, or can...

Anyone who has tried Delta 8 gummies knows that the old adage is true, the waiting truly is the hardest part. And, to further complicate things, the waiting varies from person to person and even from day to day.

A wide variety of variables can affect how quickly Delta 8 gummies are digested in the system. The time it  takes is de...

  Welcome to Your Introduction to CBDA   CBDA is the new player in town that has everyone talking about its benefits. CBDA has been on researchers radar since it was first isolated by Israeli scientist Rafael Mechoulam in 1965, but only recently has made its way to the front of the class. CBDA or cannabidiolic acid is the carboxylated form of CBD. But wait, no one expects the non-chemist population to know what that actually means. We’ll save you the “google” and offer up a backstory that you can digest, regardless of your high school chemistry grade. (Whew.)    What is CBDA? CBDA is essentially the acidic precursor to CBD originating from the raw hemp plant. CBDA’s structure has a carboxyl group that consists of one carbon, hydrogen and two oxygen atoms.   How is CBDA different from CBD? After a process called decarboxylation, the CBDA is converted to CBD. Decarboxylating is the process of releasing carbon dioxide to remove that acid (the “A” ...
