CBD and CBG dried hemp
Hemp herb is dried hemp flowers, rich in natural phytocannabinoids, terpenes and flavonoids. They contain primarily cannabidiol (CBD) and cannabigerol (CBG), as well as a number of other compounds naturally occurring in the plant. This natural product, sourced from certified, organic crops, is gaining popularity as an alternative to synthetic agents supporting everyday well-being and health. hemp differs from marijuana in its low THC content (below the permissible level in Poland), which makes it legal and safe in use.
The first step to understanding this product is to know what it is full spectrum (Full spectrum). This means the flowers contain a full complement of natural compounds: in addition to CBD and CBG, there are minor cannabinoids (CBDA, CBDV, CBN, CBC), terpenes that impart aroma, and flavonoids that act as antioxidants. The complex blend of these compounds creates a synergistic effect, commonly known as the "entourage effect," which makes the effects of the herb richer and more balanced than those of isolated CBD.
How does hemp work – the endocannabinoid system and the synergy of compounds
In the human body there is endocannabinoid system (ECS), which acts as a regulator of many physiological processes, including sleep, mood, appetite, memory, immunity, and pain perception. It consists of three components: endocannabinoids produced by the body, CB1 and CB2 receptors, and enzymes responsible for the breakdown of compounds. CB1 receptors are located primarily in the nervous system, while CB2 receptors are located in peripheral tissues and immune system cells. After ingesting phytocannabinoids from dried herb, compounds such as CBD, CBG, CBN, and CBC bind to ECS receptors or influence endocannabinoid levels, helping to restore homeostasis and balance of body functions.
CBD It works indirectly – it doesn't bind directly to CB1/CB2 receptors, but inhibits the enzymes that break down endocannabinoids, allowing them to act longer. The result is reduced stress, improved well-being, and tension relief. CBG however, it is called „"the mother of all cannabinoids"”, because in young plants it is a precursor to the formation of other cannabinoids. CBG has a greater affinity for CB2 receptors, thus having a stronger effect on the immune and nervous systems, reducing inflammation, stimulating the mind, and improving concentration.
They play an extremely important role terpenes i flavonoids – volatile compounds responsible for the scent and taste of flowers. They work together with cannabinoids to form what is known as synergy effect. Research indicates that terpenes like myrcene increase cell membrane permeability, facilitating cannabinoid absorption, while limonene enhances CBD's anti-anxiety effects, and pinene improves memory. This combination of compounds may lead to stronger therapeutic effects at lower doses and reduced side effects. Flavonoids, being natural antioxidants, support anti-inflammatory effects, reduce oxidative stress, and protect tissues from damage.
From the user's perspective, the form of reception also matters. Inhalation by vaporization ensures the fastest absorption – active substances enter the bloodstream directly through the lung alveoli, bypassing the digestive system, allowing you to feel the effects within minutes. Depending on the vaporization temperature, different spectra of terpenes and cannabinoids can be extracted – lower temperatures (approx. 160–180°C) favor inhalation of terpenes and CBG, while higher temperatures (180–200°C) release larger amounts of CBD.
Health benefits and well-being – what does hemp offer?
Relaxation and balance
For many people, dried hemp is a natural way to reducing stress and anxiety. CBD relieves tension and helps calm the nervous system without causing drowsiness. It works by maintaining higher levels of the endocannabinoid anandamide (the "happiness molecule"), which improves mood and a sense of well-being. CBG, thanks to its effects on alpha-2 and 5-HT1A receptors, also reduces stress while improving concentration and motivation. The combination of these two compounds in a full-spectrum herbal remedy provides a balanced effect – a feeling of calm while simultaneously enhancing mental clarity.
Support for the nervous system and brain
Phytocannabinoids and terpenes contained in the dried herb show neuroprotective properties – help protect neurons from oxidative stress, support regeneration, and may stimulate the formation of new nerve cells. CBG reduces neuroinflammatory processes and may promote brain cell growth, which is important in the prevention of neurodegenerative diseases. Terpenes, including pinene and linalool, additionally improve memory and sleep quality.
Reduction of pain and inflammation
Many people use hemp for the purpose of relieving chronic pain and inflammatory diseases such as rheumatism or musculoskeletal problems. CBD and CBG have anti-inflammatory properties – CBG inhibits inflammatory mediators and may counteract musculoskeletal disorders, while CBD affects pain receptors and increases resistance to discomfort. Terpenes, such as beta-caryophyllene, act similarly to natural painkillers, supporting the effects of cannabinoids.
Improved sleep, appetite and digestion
Vaporizing hemp in the evening can calm the nervous system and facilitate sleep. CBD helps shorten the time it takes to fall asleep and improves sleep quality, while CBG in moderate doses can stimulate appetite and aid digestion, which can be helpful for those with appetite disorders or gastrointestinal conditions. Citrus-like terpenes, such as limonene, relieve heartburn and support the production of digestive juices.
Immune support and antioxidants
Hemp herb contains numerous antioxidants and vitamins. Flavonoids neutralize free radicals, reducing oxidative stress and supporting immunity. CBG has antibacterial properties, including against strains Staphylococcus aureus, and CBD can modulate the immune system. Balanced herbal supplementation supports both physical and mental well-being.
Differences between CBD and CBG in dried herb
Mother and Child – Chemical Origins
CBD (cannabidiol) It is one of the most abundant cannabinoids in mature plants. It is known for its soothing properties, helping to reduce anxiety, calm the mind, and relieve pain. CBG (cannabigerol) It is called the "mother of all cannabinoids" because in young plants it occurs in its acidic form (CBGA), from which other cannabinoids, including CBD and THC, are derived. In some cultivars, some CBGA is not converted, and the final dried product contains a higher concentration of CBG.
Aroma and sensory experience
CBD-rich flowers typically have a sweet or citrusy aroma, resulting from their terpene profile—floral, berry, or tropical notes are popular. Conversely, high-CBG buds have a more herbal, earthy scent, resulting from the predominance of terpenes like β-caryophyllene and humulene. These subtle scent differences influence product selection based on taste sensations.
Functional action
CBD causes a state of relaxation without drowsiness – relieves stress, helps calm down, and reduces muscle tension. This is why many people use CBD in the evening to relax after work or prepare for bed. CBG, on the other hand, provides gentle energy and mental clarity, helps you focus on tasks and can increase motivation. This makes CBG a popular choice during the day when you need focus without overstimulation.
Synergy with other compounds
The best health benefits are achieved by combining CBD and CBG in the right proportions with a full spectrum of terpenes and flavonoids. Combining these two cannabinoids can enhance anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. Therefore, it's worth choosing herbs with a diverse profile that incorporates both compounds and a rich spectrum of terpenes.
The importance of terpenes and flavonoids
Terpenes are essential oils responsible for the aroma of plants, which interact with cannabinoids. Different terpenes have different properties:
- Myrcene – has an earthy, herbal scent. It increases the permeability of cell membranes, facilitates the absorption of cannabinoids, and promotes relaxation.
- Limonene – gives a citrus aroma, may have anti-anxiety properties and improve mood.
- Pinene – with the scent of pine, supports memory and clarity of thinking.
- Beta-caryophyllene – peppery aroma; has anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects, binds to CB2 receptors.
- Linalool – lavender scent, helps to calm down and facilitates falling asleep.
- Humulene – herbal-hop aroma, reduces appetite.
Flavonoids They constitute approximately 10% of the active substances in cannabis. They act as powerful antioxidants, reducing oxidative stress and inflammation, strengthen capillaries, and may modulate the effects of THC. Among them are apigenin, which has a calming effect, quercetin, which has antiviral properties, and cannaflavins, unique to cannabis, with strong anti-inflammatory effects. The combination of flavonoids with terpenes and cannabinoids makes the herb more effective.
Cannabis strains – sativa, indica, hybrids
Traditionally, hemp is divided into three main types: sativa, indica i hybrids. In practice, the effect depends on the chemovar—the blend of cannabinoids and terpenes—but general differences can help you choose:
Sativa varieties
Sativa plants originate from warmer regions and are characterized by tall, slender stems and narrow leaves. They typically have a lower CBD to THC ratio, but industrial varieties have normal THC levels. Sativa cannabis is associated with stimulation, improved creativity and concentration – therefore, it is recommended for daytime use. Sativa aromas are often fruity, citrusy, and fresh.
Indica strains
Indica strains originate from cooler climates (including Afghanistan and Pakistan) and have short, stocky growth habit and broad leaves. They typically contain more CBD than THC. Users attribute them to strongly relaxing and calming effect, making them popular before bed or during convalescence. Indica flavors can be spicy, earthy, often with a hint of lavender or berries.
Hybrid and ruderalis varieties
Hybrids are created by crossing sativa and indica strains; they combine characteristics of both—they can be relaxing and stimulating at the same time, depending on the dominant compounds. Cannabis ruderalis plants are small and low in THC; they often serve as the genetic material for autoflowering strains, which grow quickly and are climate-resistant. In practice, the choice of hybrid depends on the desired effect: for example, sativa-dominant hybrids are suitable for daytime use, while indica-dominant ones aid in evening relaxation.

How to use dried hemp
Vaporization – a healthy alternative to smoking
The most popular method of consuming dried hemp is vaporization. It involves heating the flowers to a temperature at which the active compounds vaporize, but the plant material doesn't burn. This allows the user to inhale pure phytochemicals without toxic combustion products. To achieve the full effect:
- Grind Dry gently in a grinder to increase the evaporation surface.
- Fill the chamber vaporizer loosely, without pressing too hard.
- Set the temperature 160–180°C for terpenes and CBG; 180–200°C for more CBD and a calming effect.
- Inhale slowly, to avoid respiratory irritation. The effects should be felt within a few minutes.
- After the session ends Cool the device and empty the chamber. The used material can be reused to prepare the infusion.
Consumed as an infusion
For people who prefer a more relaxed way of taking the herb, it is recommended to prepare hemp tea or an infusion with added fat (e.g., coconut milk), which facilitates cannabinoid absorption. Simply pour hot (but not boiling) water with the fat over 1–2 g of dried herb, let it steep for 10–15 minutes, and filter. This infusion works more slowly (about 30–60 minutes), but the effects last longer. It can be combined with other herbs, such as lemon balm or mint, to enhance the flavor.
Other methods
The dried herb can be added as an ingredient to homemade baked goods or tinctures, remembering to decarboxylate it properly, i.e., heat the flowers at approximately 110–120°C for 30–40 minutes to activate the acid forms of the cannabinoids. However, lower doses should be used, as the oral effects are stronger and longer-lasting.
How to choose the right herb – a shopping guide
Choosing the perfect hemp herb depends on several criteria. Here are the most important aspects to consider:
- CBD and CBG content Beginners can choose lower-concentration varieties (5–10 % CBD) for a gentle relaxing effect. Those seeking concentration should choose CBG herbs (10–20 %), while those seeking intense relaxation should choose full-spectrum CBD products.
- Terpene Profile and Aroma – flavor and aroma can enhance the enjoyment of use. Fruit varieties (mango, pineapple) are sweeter, herbal, and earthy (santhica, northwest) – more traditional.
- Type of variety – Sativa, Indica, or Hybrid. Sativa is stimulating, Indica is calming, and hybrids combine effects. The choice depends on the time of day and the desired effect.
- Certificates and quality – pay attention to labels such as Global GAP, HACCP, GACP. Good products have laboratory analyses (COA) confirming the content of cannabinoids and the absence of chemical and biological contaminants.
- Freshness and appearance – Flowers should be supple, full of resinous trichomes, and retain an intense fragrance. Avoid dried or aromaless buds, which may indicate poor storage.
- Product form – loose (2–10 g), pre-rolls, or mixed herbs. Beginners may find ready-made rolls convenient, while enthusiasts will appreciate the ability to grind and mix herbs themselves.
- User reviews – Reviews from other customers can help you assess the taste and effectiveness. However, it's worth remembering that opinions are subjective.
Legality and security
In Poland, the trade in dried hemp is permitted if the content Δ9-THC does not exceed 0.2–0.3 %. The products sold by ubucha.pl are derived from hemp and meet legal requirements, as confirmed by certificates and research. This means the herb has no psychoactive effects and is safe to use.
Although CBD and CBG are well tolerated, caution should be exercised:
- Use responsibly – This herb is intended for adults. It should not be used by pregnant or breastfeeding women, or by those taking medications (e.g., anti-epileptics) without consulting a doctor.
- Avoid driving – especially at higher doses or if you use strains with strong sedative effects, as they can reduce concentration.
- Remember about the dosage – Start with small portions (e.g., 0.2–0.3 g of dried herb) and observe your body's reaction. Gradually adjust the dose to your needs.
- Store properly – Herbs should be stored in an airtight container in a dark, cool place. The ideal relative humidity for herbs is approximately 55–65 %. Herbs that are too moist can mold, while herbs that are too dry can lose terpenes and cannabinoids. Special humidity-regulating sachets can be used.
Combining with other products and supplements
Hemp can be used alone or in combination with other products to achieve personalized effects:
- With CBD/CBG oils – Oils administered sublingually provide a long-lasting effect, while dried herbs provide a quick effect when inhaled. A combination of both forms can provide a consistent effect throughout the day.
- Hemp shots – Beverages containing phytocannabinoids and adaptogens (e.g., ashwagandha, L-theanine) may enhance the effects of the herb. Use them at different times to monitor your body's response.
- Jellies and capsules – The edible form delivers cannabinoids more slowly but sustainably. Combining it with inhalation allows for precise dosage adjustments.
- Adaptogens – Preparations containing mushrooms, ginseng, and ashwagandha support the immune system and nervous system. When combined with dried herbs, they enhance anti-stress effects.
