Mom Grass is what we call the CBG-rich hemp flower that we put in our Mom Grass Joints and now into our tins of Mom Grass CBG Flower. CBG is a relatively “new” cannabinoid. It’s extra special. Rare and powerful. A bit of a mystery. Just like the moms in our lives. We call it Mom Grass because CBG is the mother of all cannabinoids (aka the building block for THC and CBD), not because it’s exclusively for moms. The same way Dad Grass isn’t just for dudes or dads. Sure, moms seem to love it. But so do dads, adult children, grandparents and pretty much everyone else who’s tried it.

If you’ve smoked Mom Grass CBG Joints, you’ll recognize the effects of Mom Grass Flower. CBG doesn’t exactly get you “high” in the traditional sense, because it doesn’t have high enough concentrations of THC, the psychoactive compound in the marijuana you would get in a dispensary. Our friends tell us that a few tokes is enough to have them feeling grounded and centered during their morning rituals, or relaxed and steady after a long day. Mom Grass is an easygoing and uncomplicated way to set the head right and the soul light. The effects of CBG can last from 2 to 6 hours depending on your body, how much you take and how you take it.

Whenever the moment calls for it, really. Mom Grass CBG Flower and Joints are a great pairing for your morning coffee (word on the street is you can take it to spark creativity or ease stress before a meeting). It’s also great to unwind after a long day, or even to chill out before bed. If you’ve ever spent the night tossing and turning, you know that lack of sleep can have incredibly adverse effects, in the short term and over your lifetime. Unfortunately, many of the treatments for troubled sleep can be just as harmful as being sleep deprived. By diminishing the stress, anxiety and pain, CBG flower helps us fall asleep (and stay asleep) without making us groggy in the morning.

Smoking CBG flower directly, whether you’re hand-packing a pipe or rolling a joint, is the fastest way to feel the full effects of the hemp plant. When you smoke CBG (or CBD) directly, cannabinoids are inhaled directly into the lungs where they rapidly enter the bloodstream and circulate through the body. Because everybody’s got a different body, we don’t like to make sweeping generalizations, but based on a lot of R&D (wink, wink) we know that CBG takes about three minutes to peak after consumption, so you should be feeling the effects around five minutes after inhalation.

In general, Mom Grass CBG Flower is less “sticky-icky”, a little drier and breaks apart easier than Dad Grass CBD Flower. And, because of its genetic makeup, CBG Flower has less evident trichomes (which are the unicellular or multicellular appendages that act as an extension of the above-ground epidermal cells in plants). In layman terms, they’re the shiny brown hairs you’ve come to expect on Dad Grass CBD Flower.

You saucy thing, you! Yes. And we’re totally into it. Although CBD and CBG are similar in many ways, there are certainly some differences in the way they make you feel. In general, we say that Dad Grass CBD is great for winding down, whereas Mom Grass CBG is the perfect pick-me up. But because of the entourage effect, the benefits of CBD and CBG are heightened when blended together. In other words, they bring out the best in one another.

Ever since the passage of the 2018 Farm Bill, hemp-derived CBD and CBG products like Dad Grass and Mom Grass have been 100% legal on the federal level. And thanks to the cooperation of the good ol’ USPS, we can legally ship straight to your door in all 50 states.

Duh. We can’t help but go the extra mile to make sure what we’re serving you is 100% pure and of the highest quality. Every one of our flower tins have a little green or purple-colored label that helps you learn more about it. A quick glance will give you the batch number as well as the amount of CBD or CBG (in MGs) and THC (always below the federally legal amount of 0.3%) in our hemp flower. Scan the QR code and you’ll find the detailed testing report, also known as a Certificate of Analysis (COA), done by the same independent third-party labs that test the marijuana products you find in dispensaries.

In a word, no. Cannabindiol (CBD) and Cannabigerol (CBG) are cannabinoids found in both the marijuana and hemp plant. Neither CBD or CBG contains tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the psychoactive ingredient that causes people to feel “high”. CBD and CBG are federally legal when produced from the hemp plant (meaning it has under 0.3% THC) is proven to be non-addictive, non-psychoactive and confirmed to have a slew of benefits like decreasing symptoms of stress, anxiety, pain and inflammation.

CBG doesn’t exactly get you “high” in the traditional sense, because it doesn’t have high enough concentrations of THC, the psychoactive compound in the marijuana you would get in a dispensary.  Our friends who have smoked it say that it is a smooth experience that reduces their tension and sparks their calm. “It has a nice mellowing effect on the body,” one friend told us after sampling Mom Grass. “I felt the tension of my shoulders melt away once I smoked it. Definitely got a nice happy feeling after, too.”

We don’t like to pick favorites. In simple mathematical terms: Mom Grass = CBG. Dad Grass = CBD. It’s really up to you to decide which you prefer (but why not enjoy both?) Even though CBD and CBG flower are similar in many ways, there are certainly some differences in the way they make you feel. In general, we say that Dad Grass CBD is great for winding down, whereas Mom Grass CBG is the perfect pick-me up. But because of the entourage effect, the benefits of CBD and CBG are heightened when blended together. In other words, they bring out the best in one another.  Here's an expert tip: you can absolutely build a custom joint by hand-blending our Mom Grass CBG Flower with a THC flower of your choice (and hey, feel free to throw some Dad Grass in there while you’re at it). By mixing together flowers that are high in the key cannabinoids (THC, CBG and CBD), you’re likely to kick the entourage effect into high gear. Plus, mixing CBG flower with THC flower may also help you diminish some of the negative effects you experience with the high-test THC weed you get at the dispensary, simply because the net amount of psychoactive compound (THC) is diluted. We can’t guarantee you won’t get couch-locked, but it’s helped us get through countless parties and social occasions in the last couple years.

Let’s be real, all legal drugs have health risks. But according to Open Access Government, “the general consensus among professionals and even the World Health Organization, is that even in extremely large doses, CBD and CBG is likely to cause extreme drowsiness, lethargy, upset stomach, nausea and diarrhea and other unpleasant, disorienting side effects, not death.”

According to Open Access Government, “the general consensus among professionals and even the World Health Organization, is that even in extremely large doses, all three main forms of CBD, CBG and CBN (full-spectrum, broad-spectrum and isolate) are likely to cause extreme drowsiness, lethargy, upset stomach, nausea and diarrhoea and other unpleasant, disorienting side effects, not death.” So there you have it, you can’t overdose on CBG. What about a CBG with THC overdose? Still no. Even full-spectrum CBG or marijuana with high amounts of THC “will not cause a person to overdose in the traditional sense,” says WebMD.

When it comes to drug tests, CBD, CBG and CBN aren't what they’re looking for. That being said, if your hemp product also has THC in it, that can negatively affect your drug test. According to the Mayo Clinic, THC metabolites can be detected in urine and show up on a drug test for as long as 15 days after administration. That being said, it really depends on the dose you took and your overall frequency of use.

CBG doesn’t get you “high” in the traditional sense, because it doesn’t have THC, the intoxicating components of marijuana. However, the effects of CBD can last from 2 to 6 hours depending on your body, how much you take and how you take it (from smoking a joint to popping a gummy).

We always emphasize that every body is different, and various cannabinoids can have slightly different effects based on a person’s endocannabinoid system’s reactions. Studies of CBG are in their infancy, and there’s not enough data or research to suggest that CBG has any effect on appetite stimulation or suppression.
