When most people think of cannabis, they immediately think of THC or CBD. But the cannabis plant contains over 100 cannabinoids—many of which are just starting to get the spotlight they deserve. Two of those cannabinoids, CBN (cannabinol) and CBG (cannabigerol), are emerging as powerful allies in the world of wellness, especially when paired with THC in edibles and tinctures.
At Cream Cannabis in Southwest Portland, we’re proud to carry thoughtfully crafted products from Oregon-based brands like Grön and Wyld that make incorporating CBN and CBG into your routine delicious and easy.
What is CBN?
CBN is often referred to as the “sleepy cannabinoid.” It forms naturally as THC ages and degrades—so it’s not surprising that many users find it helpful for relaxation, rest, and deep sleep.
Potential Benefits of CBN:
- Sedative properties for better sleep
- Muscle relaxation
- Anti-inflammatory support
- Mild pain relief
If you’ve ever tried a cannabis product that felt “extra mellow,” there’s a good chance CBN was involved.
What is CBG?
CBG is sometimes called the “mother cannabinoid” because it’s the precursor to THC, CBD, and other cannabinoids in the early stages of plant growth. CBG doesn’t produce a high on its own, but it offers a clear-headed experience with potential neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory effects.
Potential Benefits of CBG:
- Focus and mental clarity
- Anti-anxiety effects without sedation
- Appetite stimulation
- Gut health and digestive support
People who find THC too intense or CBD too subtle often describe CBG as a “sweet spot” that helps with energy, mood, and stress resilience.
How to Incorporate CBN & CBG Into Your Cannabis Diet
The easiest (and tastiest) way to incorporate these cannabinoids into your wellness regimen is through edibles that blend THC with CBN or CBG for a tailored effect.
Here are a few customer favorites at Cream:
Wyld THC/CBN Elderberry Gummies
These 2:1 THC to CBN gummies are made for winding down. Infused with real elderberry fruit and designed to support a deep, restful sleep—without the groggy morning after.
Wyld THC/CBG Pear Gummies
