Cannabigerol (CBG)

Cannabigerol (CBG) is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid found in the Cannabis genus of plants. Cannabigerol is found in higher concentrations in hemp rather than in varieties of Cannabis cultivated for high tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) content and their corresponding psychoactive properties.^{[citation needed]}

Cannabigerol has been found to act as a high affinity α₂-adrenergic receptor agonist, moderate affinity 5-HT_1A receptor antagonist, and low affinity CB₁ receptor antagonist.^[1] It also binds to the CB₂ receptor, but whether it acts as an agonist or antagonist at this site is unknown.^[1]

Charlotte Figi: Treating Dravet Syndrome With Cannabis Oil

Published on Nov 5, 2013

This is the amazing story of 5 year old Charlotte Figi. Charlotte suffered from Dravet Syndrome, a severe form of epilepsy found in children. From the time she was 2 she was having over 300 seizures a week which drastically affected her ability to learn, speak or even walk. She was unable to keep up with her twin sister. She was catatonic and nothing the doctors could do for her helped. All of their “medicines” had no effect on her condition and if anything they made her worse. Some of them almost killing her.
After exhausting all other treatments, her parents turned to the internet to see what alternative treatments may be available. To their surprise they found that a certain strain of cannabis (the strain was later named Charlotte’s Web in her honor) was specifically helping children with Dravet Syndrome.

Charlotte’s Web Makes History in Colorado

A New Mexico family elected to fly their infant daughter to Colorado in order to treat her for a rare form of epilepsy. After multiple failed attempts by doctors to reduce the seizures, the family asked the hospital if they could use cannabis oil. A few weeks passed, and with the continued failure of pharmacological drugs, approval was finally granted by hospital administration. Doctors, with their hands tied, were unable to administer the cannabis oil. The parents acquired Charlotte’s Web Cannabis Oil (Named after Charlotte Figi, who suffered from 300 seizures a day and is virtually seizure free today) and gave their infant daughter mother nature’s medicine. Their daughter, who was having 15 seizures a day, has experienced a lessening of seizure activity.
