In the family
The “mother cannabinoid”: non-intoxicating, and the most studied of the group. CBGA decarboxylates to CBG, and both occur in the plant.

Cardiovascular note grade: grade: Hypothesized
CBG may influence blood pressure via α2-adrenoceptor activity; the direction and magnitude of any human effect are uncharacterized. Mechanistic plausibility only: the receptor activity has been measured in the laboratory, and no study has measured a blood-pressure effect of CBG in a person. If you take blood-pressure medication or have a cardiovascular condition, consult a clinician first.
