The Best Ways to Take CBG: Edibles vs Smoking
Cannabigerol (CBG) is a cannabinoid obtained from the Cannabis Sativa plant. It is often referred to as the purest form of cannabinoid. Eating edibles will affect CBG intake differently than smoking or vaping. The same can be said about taking tinctures. A tincture is a herbal extract from soaked barks, berries, roots, and leaves.

Different CBG products have their unique uses; according to studies, these may include treatment of inflammation, reduction of pain, and treatment of various skin conditions.How Do You Store CBG?
CBG comes in various forms; oil, tincture, edibles, or capsules. On some levels, it can be found in vapes and smoking forms. Each form of CBG comes with a different amount of its concentration level. Perhaps the most common forms of CBG are oil and tincture. Most people prefer the two because they are easy to consume. Here are the two ways to store CBG.- In tincture form
- As capsules
Tincture Form
CBG packaged in tincture form is known to have the highest bioavailability of CBG. Bioavailability is the chemical substance composition that enters the blood or air circulation in the body when taken. CBG tincture is best preserved with alcohol. Ensure to add only a droplet of alcohol for preservation purposes; this makes the administration of the CBG easier and the dosage control more efficient. One may ask themselves why CBG tinctures are popular among users. The main reason is that they are more quickly absorbed into the body system than edibles or other intake forms. The effects of taking tinctures can be felt within 15-40 minutes while vaping, and edibles take an hour or more for effects to be felt. Users of tinctures experience all the benefits of CBG without physically feeling them. Those who want to enjoy the full benefits of CBG are encouraged to take tinctures rather than eat edibles. Tinctures are often a great choice for a beginner or inexperienced cannabis user.Storage in Capsules
Capsules are known to store a realistic level of CBG oil that is well absorbed in the body when taken. However, the capsules’ effects are much slower when compared to CBG tincture. This is attributed to the capsule having to go through the digestive tract. This means it will take longer to digest and absorb into the bloodstream. The effect of the CBG capsule will be felt after approximately one hour.Best Methods to Use CBG
There are different means of administering CBG in or on your body. You will most likely be spoilt for choice regarding edibles vs. smoking CBG. This depends on the needs of your body. For instance, you can apply it to your skin, add it to your foods and beverages, or just stick to inhaling cannabis. Some of these methods are discussed below.CBG Edibles
CBG edibles are found in different forms. Some come as gummies, while others are in the form of chocolates. The type of edible you choose does not affect the outcome; what affects the result is the potency of the edible you take. Most CBG edibles take about 30 minutes to kick in. Some of the reasons why people take edibles include:- They are easy to store
- Have a better taste
- Long-lasting benefits due to the digestion process, which takes longer
- Each edible has its unique taste
- Easy to travel with
- Minimal or no side effects
- Lollipops
- Gummies
- Pro tabs
- Chocolates
- Tablinguals
By Sublingual Means
This is quite a straightforward means of administering the CBG, which involves dripping a few droplets of the CBG under the tongue. You can take a few drops under your tongue and hold them for at least 40 seconds. The process should be done at least three times a day. Sublingual administration is by far the most effective method of administration of CBG because the tongue is full of blood capillaries that directly absorb the CBG into the bloodstream. The entire process bypasses the digestive system. For those worried about the taste of the CBG oil, they can rest since it comes in a variety of flavors.Having CBG in Your Food
This is another way to ensure CBG gets absorbed into your bloodstream and works well. You can add two tablespoons of CBG oil in conjunction with olive oil, pepper, salt, and lemon to your salads or stew. You aren’t just limited to foods, as you can also add the combination to all of your sweet treats. This is the way to go if you can’t keep your hands off the cooking jar but still want to check on your weight. Cannabigerol is known for cutting down the excess and unwanted fat in the body. Feel free to include it as one of the ingredients when baking your favorite biscuits, cakes, and cookies.Adding CBG to Your Drinks and Beverages
As the world progresses, people are getting more creative regarding how they consume cannabigerol. You will easily find people adding CBG to cocktails and shakes. One of the reasons for this may be because some types of CBG do not have the best taste when directly taken in the mouth. When taken with beverages and drinks, the taste will be fully covered. The process can be repeated in the morning or evening when taking your tea, coffee, smoothie, or juice.Through Inhalation and Smoking of Cannabis
This is a popular form of taking the CBG among many of its users. Smoking or vaporizing the CBG is preferred by many people who want to avoid taking tinctures or eating edibles. Vaping is made possible through the use of vaporizers or vaporizer pens. Vaping relies on warm moisture and contains no smoke; this makes it popular among the older generation. It is also an easy process. The vapourised moisture is quickly directed into the lungs and absorbed into the bloodstream. Both inhaling and smoking of CBG have a lesser bioavailability of CBG as compared to other modes of intake.
