CBG flowers

CBG flowers are among the most exciting hemp products on the German market, as they bring a cannabinoid into focus that is often overlooked. Cannabigerol, or CBG for short, occurs naturally in the hemp plant and plays a special role in the cannabinoid profile. In biosynthesis, CBG is considered a precursor to other cannabinoids, including CBD and THC. Unlike these cannabinoids, CBG itself is classified as non-psychoactive and does not produce a classic high. Currently, cannabigerol is increasingly becoming the focus of scientific research, particularly in connection with its biological properties and its function in the endocannabinoid system. As dried hemp flowers with an elevated CBG content, CBG flowers offer a legal way to experience cannabinoids beyond THC – provided that the legal limits are observed.

What are CBG flowers and where can you buy them?

CBG flowers are dried hemp buds of the Cannabis sativa species, an annual herbaceous plant, with a particularly high cannabigerol content – legally available in specialized online shops and selected local stores in Germany. CBG is primarily extracted from young hemp plants that are not yet fully mature. The cannabigerol comes from the 'true' hemp plant Cannabis sativa, which is valued as a special species for its natural and biological properties.

What makes CBG special: It's considered the so-called "mother cannabinoid." In the early flowering phase of the hemp plant, cannabigerol exists as a precursor (cannabigerolic acid or CBGA) before it converts into other cannabinoids like CBD and THC. That's why producers harvest plants for CBG flowers significantly earlier than for CBD flowers – this is the only way to ensure the maximum CBG content is maintained.

Most customers choose to buy from the online shop – here you will find the largest selection of varieties, can view laboratory certificates directly on the product page and benefit from transparent quality standards.

Where can I order high-quality CBG flowers?

The safest way to order high-quality CBG flowers is from specialized online shops with EU certification, transparent laboratory tests and traceable product origins.

The difference between reputable providers and questionable sources is evident in crucial details:

Characteristics of reputable CBG providers:

• Full laboratory analyses (Certificate of Analysis) available for each batch.

• Clear information on CBG content and THC content

• Transparent information on origin and cultivation method

• EU-certified hemp cultivation

• German customer service and legally compliant delivery

Warning signs of disreputable providers:

• No information on the origin of the hemp flowers

• Unclear terms and conditions or lack of contact options

• Shipping from countries with unclear legal situations (outside of Switzerland or the EU)

When buying CBG online, you should pay particular attention to the laboratory analyses. Reputable shops provide these directly on the product page or upon request. The analyses show you the exact CBG content, the THC content, and any potential impurities.

Are CBG flowers legal to buy in Germany?

Yes, CBG flowers are completely legal in Germany as long as the THC content is below 0.3% and the products come from EU-certified industrial hemp. CBG is considered a non-psychoactive cannabinoid, similar to CBD, and can therefore be legally sold and possessed. Learn more about the differences between CBD and CBG.

The legal situation is clear: Cannabigerol (CBG) is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid and is not subject to narcotics laws. Unlike THC, CBG does not produce a high – so you can order and possess CBG flowers without any concerns. In Germany, the use of CBG is permitted, for example, as a cosmetic ingredient or in the hemp industry.

Important legal framework:

1. THC limit: The THC content must be below 0.3% (below 1% in Switzerland).

2. Origin: The hemp plant must come from EU-certified industrial hemp.

3. Intended use: Products are declared as flavoring products, raw materials, or, for example, as cosmetic raw materials or for the hemp industry.

4. Age: Purchase is permitted for persons aged 18 and over.

You're on the safe side when transporting and possessing your CBG hemp flowers if you carry the purchase receipt and ideally the laboratory certificate with you. This way, you can prove that your CBG hemp flowers meet legal requirements if necessary.

Which CBG flower varieties can you buy?

The German market offers a growing selection of CBG-rich strains with varying aroma profiles and cannabigerol concentrations between 5% and 15%. CBG flowers are suitable for various applications, such as in cosmetics manufacturing, as an aroma product, for individual dosing, or for different consumption methods. The uses of CBG flowers range from direct consumption through smoking or vaporization to targeted dosing and creative and therapeutic applications, for example, to create a relaxing atmosphere or as an ingredient in cosmetic products. For legal reasons, manufacturers are not permitted to sell or declare CBG flowers, like other cannabinoid flowers, as a consumer product.

The diversity of varieties differs primarily in three areas:

CBG content by category:

• Mild beginner strains (4-6% CBG): Ideal for first-time users, gentler effects

• Terpene-rich natural varieties (7-10% CBG): Balanced price-performance ratio, versatile uses, best taste

• Aromatic flowers (12-15% CBG): Highly concentrated, sprayed with CBG isolate, artificially processed

Aroma profiles and terpenes: Terpenes – natural components of the plant – determine the taste and aroma. Besides cannabigerol (CBG) as an important ingredient, the flowers contain other cannabinoids and terpenes that shape the overall profile. Depending on the strain, you will find:

• Citrus-like, fresh varieties

• Earthy, spicy profiles

• Floral, sweet notes

You can judge the quality of CBG flowers by their appearance, smell, and feel.

For beginners, we recommend strains with a medium CBG content and a pleasant, not-too-intense aroma. This way, you can get to know the properties of the cannabinoid without being overwhelmed by its intensity.

Buying Indoor vs. Outdoor CBG Flowers

Indoor flowers offer higher potency and more consistent quality, while outdoor varieties offer better value for money and a more natural aroma.

Recommendation: If premium quality is important to you and you're willing to invest more, opt for indoor-grown flowers. For those on a limited budget, organic outdoor products offer an excellent alternative.

Recommendations for beginners:

• Start with a CBG concentration of 5-8%.

• Choose mild aroma profiles (floral, slightly earthy)

• Try small amounts first (2-5g)
