Is CBG legal?

Cross a border and the answer changes. The EU classifies CBG as an unauthorized novel food, and Canada regulates it as cannabis. General information, not legal advice; verify locally.
Is CBG legal under the 2018 Farm Bill?
Generally yes, at the federal level. As of 2026, the 2018 Farm Bill covers hemp-derived CBG when the product contains ≤0.3% delta-9 THC by dry weight. Food is where it gets harder: the FDA has not authorized CBG as a dietary supplement or food, and state laws vary on top of that. Not legal advice; verify locally.
Is CBG legal in all 50 states?
Not necessarily. Federal law allows hemp-derived CBG (≤0.3% delta-9 THC) under the 2018 Farm Bill, but each state writes its own rules, and some restrict hemp cannabinoids or particular product types. Where you live and what kind of product it is both matter, so check your state's current law. General information, not legal advice.
Is CBG legal in the UK/EU/Canada?
It depends on the country. The EU classifies CBG as a novel food, so it needs authorization before it can be sold as a food or supplement. Canada regulates every phytocannabinoid, CBG included, under the Cannabis Act. In the UK, CBG sits outside drug control but inside the FSA novel-food regime. Not legal advice; verify locally.
