What if Your Edible Could do more?

Cannabis is full of surprises, and CBG (cannabigerol) might be one of its best-kept secrets. It’s often called the “mother cannabinoid” because it’s the chemical precursor to many of the cannabinoids we know and love—THC, CBD, CBC, and even THCv all start as CBG before they transform into something else. But what happens if we capture CBG in its prime, before it converts and fades into the background?

That’s exactly what we’re exploring with our enhanced cannabinoid lineup—where we take compounds that naturally occur in cannabis, collect them in high quantities, and amplify the effects of the strains we grow and choose for each Drops flavor. CBG is the perfect example of this: in our experience, it can stretch the cannabis effect spectrum, unlocking a clear-headed burst of energy that enhances sativa effects beyond what a strain could do on its own.

What Makes CBG Special?

Young, Wild and Energizing

• CBG exists in its highest concentration in young cannabis plants before it breaks down into THC, CBD, and other compounds. There’s something poetic about that—the youthful nature of the plant mirrors the vibrant, light, and uplifting effects of the cannabinoid itself.

Not Quite THC, Not Quite CBD—Somewhere New

• Unlike THC, CBG doesn’t have strong psychoactive effects. Instead, it brings clarity, motivation, and a sense of balance without the fog.

• Unlike CBD, it doesn’t just mellow you out—it has a subtle kick, often described as bright and focused.

Enhances What’s Already There

• CBG isn’t just effective on its own—it has a synergistic relationship with sativas. When combined with the right strains and terpenes, it expands the uplifting effects beyond what’s normally possible.

• Instead of changing the feel of an edible, it acts as a boost—like turning up the contrast on a photo or adding an extra gear to your car.

The Science (So Far)

Why haven’t you heard much about CBG before? The short answer: the science is still catching up.

Because cannabis research has been restricted for decades, most studies available today focus on THC and CBD. One reason CBG, like other minor cannabinoids, has been overlooked is simply because it appears in such small quantities in most plants—which makes it harder to study.

But that’s changing. Early research suggests CBG could play a role in:

• Supporting cognitive function

• Reducing inflammation

• Helping with gut health

• Acting as an antibacterial powerhouse

Still, most of what we know about CBG comes from real-world experiences—from those of us experimenting with high-CBG products, dialing in effects, and pushing the limits of what’s possible.

Why We’re Excited About CBG

At Drops, we’re all about crafting edibles that deliver real, noticeable effects. What excites us about CBG is that it gives us another tool to fine-tune how an edible makes you feel.

By isolating and collecting CBG at its peak, we can push sativa effects further than any single strain could on its own. It’s about taking what cannabis already offers us naturally and maximizing it—no synthetics, no shortcuts, just pure plant magic amplified.

CBG is just one piece of the puzzle—but when you start stacking cannabinoids, you open up a whole new world of effects.
