A New Cannabinoid in the Spotlight
CBD has been in the wellness spotlight for years, but another hemp compound — CBG (cannabigerol) — is starting to capture attention. Once rare and difficult to extract, CBG is now appearing in gummies, oils, and blends alongside CBD. People are curious because it’s different from both THC and CBD, and because it offers a new way to experience the plant’s benefits without a high.
At Rive Wellness, we see CBG as part of a broader plant synergy — a way to round out our THC-free formulas so you can explore hemp’s potential gently and on your own terms.
What Is CBG?
CBG, or cannabigerol, is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid found naturally in the cannabis plant. Often called the “mother of all cannabinoids,” it’s the precursor from which CBD, THC, and other cannabinoids are formed.
Unlike THC, CBG does not produce intoxication. Its unique profile allows it to interact with the body’s endocannabinoid system — the network that helps regulate mood, stress, sleep, and balance — in ways researchers are still uncovering. Early studies and anecdotal reports suggest it may play a supportive role in overall well-being, but it’s still a newcomer to the wellness world.
Why CBG Gummies Are Gaining Popularity
People are gravitating to CBG gummies because they’re:
-
Non-intoxicating: Enjoy hemp’s potential without feeling “high.”
-
Pre-measured: Each gummy contains a consistent amount of CBG — no droppers, no guesswork.
-
Tasty & portable: Easy to keep in a bag, desk drawer, or nightstand.
-
Versatile: You can take them on days when you want a little extra plant support, or skip them when you don’t.
Rather than promising a specific effect, CBG gummies offer a gentle way to explore hemp’s wider spectrum beyond CBD.
Combining CBG with CBD: A Broader Plant Synergy
CBG and CBD interact with the endocannabinoid system in slightly different ways. Many people like combining them for what’s known as the “entourage effect” — the idea that cannabinoids can complement one another when used together.
At Rive, we craft THC-free blends where CBG, CBD, minor cannabinoids, functional mushrooms, and linalool-rich terpenes work in harmony. The goal isn’t to push you into a specific state but to offer layered, plant-based support you can use as needed.

How to Approach Dosage
Everyone’s body is different. If you’re new to CBG:
-
Start low — one gummy or even half a gummy the first time.
-
Notice how you feel over the next hour or two before taking more.
-
Adjust gradually if needed.
Because gummies are eaten, it can take longer for effects to show up compared to inhaled methods. Give your body time to respond rather than stacking doses quickly.
FAQs
Will CBG gummies get me high?
No. CBG is non-psychoactive and our formulas are THC-free. You can expect gentle plant-based support without intoxication.
Do I have to take them every day?
No. Many people use CBG gummies as an occasional tool — on days they want extra support — rather than as a daily habit.
Can I mix CBG with other hemp products?
Yes. CBG pairs well with CBD, and many blends include both. Always start low and notice how you feel.
How do I know if a product is high quality?
Look for third-party lab results showing cannabinoid content and confirming no contaminants. Reputable brands make these reports easy to find.
How should I store them?
Keep gummies in a cool, dry place away from sunlight to maintain freshness and potency.
A Gentle Way to Explore Hemp’s Potential
CBG is still a rising star in the cannabinoid world. While research is ongoing, its non-intoxicating nature and ability to complement CBD make it an exciting option for people who want to broaden their hemp experience without THC and without feeling “locked in” to daily use.
With Rive’s THC-free blends, you can experience CBG — alongside CBD, functional mushrooms, and calming terpenes — in a form that’s easy, precise, and there when you need it.
