CBG (Cannabigerol) is a cannabinoid made by the cannabis plant. It’s actually the “Mother” of all other cannabinoids, in the sense that the cannabis plant makes CBG before anything else, then turns some of those CBG molecules into the other cannabinoids you know and love: CBD, THC, etc. More people are moving to cannabis to see if it can help them with a wide variety of maladies.

Like all cannabis, studies on CBN are limited, however, according to the available peer-reviewed research, the following properties of CBN have evidence to support them:

Prior to starting Proof, my wife and I both worked at nonprofits, serving those in need in our community. It wasn’t a conscious choice; we followed our values and landed in careers that reflected them. During graduate school at Cal, where I studied health policy, I volunteered at the Haight Ashbury Free Medical Clinic.
