ASBURY PARK, NJ / ACCESSWIRE / September 4, 2018 / There are over 100 cannabinoids in cannabis and hemp with THC and CBD being the better known among them. But a lesser known cannabinoid called CBG, or cannabigerol, is now attracting more and more attention for its' potential benefits, as more industry watchers suggest this cannabinoid may emerge as something significant that may even rival CBD oil in the coming years, see here https://marijuanawerx.com/.

CBG is a precursor to both THC and CBD. It has no psychoactive response, so it will not produce any intoxicating effects. But, its' potential medicinal properties are currently attracting more and more research interest. Even at this early stage in the scientific communities understanding of CBG, some medical marijuana dispensaries in the United States are now offering strains of cannabis that have high levels of CBG, as indicated by testing. For instance, one medical marijuana dispensary in New Jersey, a State which has recently expanded its' medical marijuana program under Governor Phil Murphy, is offering two strains of medical marijuana with high levels of CBG (cannabigerol).

Typically, CBG is present in higher concentrations in hemp than in cannabis since recreational marijuana is bred to have a high THC content level, leaving most recreational strains with only tiny amounts of CBG. However, there are some strains of marijuana bred specifically for a higher CBG content. Research on the possible benefits of CBG is just beginning. One small study in Italy suggested CBG may have strong anti-inflammatory properties but much more research is needed. In the meantime, at least one grower in Oregon is switching his focus from CBD to CBG.

On the investor front, the company that owns the best-known and popular CBD brand, Charlotte's Web Holdings, the maker of Charlotte's Web Hemp Oil CBD recently went public with an IPO on the Canadian Securities Exchange (CSE). There are other publicly traded cannabis related businesses trading on stock exchanges in the US and Canada that are profiled on MarijuanaWerx including Choom Holdings, Leafbuyer Technologies, Rocky Mountain High Brands, Aurora Cannabis, PotNetwork Holding, MedReLeaf Corp, Aphria Inc., United Cannabis Corp, Abattis Bioceuticals, Canopy Growth Corp, GW Pharmaceuticals, Cannagrow Holdings and others.

The MarijuanaWerx business-to-business directory has many categories and numerous companies listed. Current brands profiled include Willie Nelsons Willie's Reserve, Tommy Chong Chong's Choice, CBDPure Softgel capsules, Green Powered Solutions, Bluebird Botanicals, The Cannabis Marketing Lab, Cannaguard Security, Charlottes Web CBD Hemp Oil and many more.

Public attitudes toward both medical marijuana and recreational marijuana are changing rapidly. Accordingly, more states are allowing or expanding their medical marijuana programs and others have made recreational marijuana legal in their respective states. The end of cannabis prohibition now seems inevitable and marijuana related businesses of all kinds are establishing themselves in anticipation of an explosive new industry in the works. And, this is all happening as federal marijuana laws remain unchanged, at least for the time being. In anticipation of the emerging legal marijuana industry, one college in New Jersey will be offering classes for students who can minor in marijuana to prepare students interested in working in this field. The college is Stockton University. Stockton University joins other colleges with marijuana classes including The University of Vermont and Northern Michigan University.
