// Definition
The ability of cannabigerol (CBG) to reduce anxiety both on its own and when combined with THC. CBG appears to counteract THC-induced anxiety while preserving therapeutic benefits, making it a promising anxiolytic cannabinoid without the sedation of benzodiazepines.
// From the Episode
Dr. Russo described CBG as doing a spectacular job in allaying anxiety induced by THC. CBG-only tinctures available in the Pacific Northwest. The anti-anxiety mechanism does not involve sedation, distinguishing it from other anxiolytic compounds. Bubbleman shared personal experience of terpinolene-rich cultivars inducing anxiety that CBG could potentially address.
