⚗️ Science First mentioned: Ep. 186

Formal clinical studies on cannabigerol (CBG), a non-intoxicating cannabinoid. Dr. Ethan Russo presented results from a double-blind study showing CBG is superior to placebo for anxiety relief without causing sedation or memory impairment, and does not induce the intoxication associated with THC.

Russo's study used pure CBG without significant THC or CBD content. CBG preparations were reported better than conventional treatments for certain conditions. CBG combined with THC showed particular promise in allaying THC-induced anxiety. Carrie Cutler at Washington State University planning clinical trial using cold pressure test for pain and anxiety measurement.
