What is CBGA?
Cannabigerolic Acid, commonly known as CBGA, is a precursor to several major cannabinoids found in cannabis plants. While it may not be as well-known as its derivatives like THC or CBD, CBGA plays a pivotal role in the synthesis of these compounds. In recent years, the isolation and study of CBGA have gained significant attention due to its potential therapeutic benefits and versatile applications.
