An exciting new research paper titled “Acute effects of cannabigerol on anxiety, stress, and mood: a double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover, field trial” presents findings on the potential therapeutic effects of cannabigerol (CBG), a minor phytocannabinoid, on anxiety, stress, and mood in humans. Despite growing interest in CBG due to its non-intoxicating nature and reported therapeutic benefits, this study is among the first clinical trials to investigate its effects in humans.We are excited to share an overview of the clinical research study. We will also share how to use Acrely Farms products in line with this recently published article.
Overview of the Study:
- Objective: The primary goal was to assess the acute effects of CBG on anxiety, stress, and mood in healthy adults. Secondary objectives included evaluating subjective drug effects, potential side effects, and any cognitive or motor impairments associated with CBG use.
- Methodology: The study employed a double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover design involving 34 adult participants. Each participant underwent two sessions, one involving a 20 mg dose of CBG and the other a placebo, with a one-week washout period between sessions.
Key Findings:
- Reduction in Anxiety and Stress: CBG significantly reduced anxiety and stress levels compared to the placebo. However, the effects on mood were not as pronounced, indicating CBG’s potential specificity in targeting anxiety and stress.
- Memory Enhancement: Interestingly, CBG was found to enhance verbal memory, a surprising outcome that suggests CBG may have cognitive benefits, particularly in learning.
- No Motor or Cognitive Impairments: The study found no evidence of motor or cognitive impairments associated with CBG use. Participants did not report any significant intoxicating effects or adverse side effects, making CBG a potentially safe option for anxiety and stress management.
- Subjective Drug Effects: CBG did not produce noticeable subjective drug effects such as intoxication or drug liking, indicating a low potential for abuse.
Research Article Conclusion:
The study concludes that CBG shows promise as a therapeutic agent for reducing anxiety and stress without causing impairment or intoxication. However, the authors note the need for further research to confirm these findings, particularly in clinical populations and with varying doses.
The study explored the effects of a single 20 mg dose of CBG, which was well-tolerated and showed potential benefits in reducing anxiety and stress.
Recommendations:
- Starting Dose: Based on this study, a 20 mg dose of CBG (2 mints or ¾ of a dropper of Acrely Farms tincture) appears to be a good starting point, particularly for those new to CBG or seeking to manage mild anxiety and stress.
- Repeated Dosing: Regular use of CBG at appropriate intervals could be considered to maintain its stress-reducing effects.

Acrely Farms CBG Tincture: How to Use It
Acrely Farms CBG Tincture is an easy and effective way to incorporate CBG into your daily wellness routine. With only two ingredients ( CBG + MCT) its a simple and effective dosing Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to use it:
- Determine Your Dose: The recent study used a 20 mg dose of CBG, which was found to be effective in reducing anxiety and stress. Acrely Farms CBG Tincture contains 33mg of CBG per ml (one dropper full), so starting with a ¾ – 1 dropper is a good option for most users. If you’re new to CBG, you might want to start with a smaller dose – .5 ml (~16 mg of CBG) and gradually increase as needed.
- Time Your Dose: CBG can be taken at any time of the day. Many users find it most effective when used in the morning to help manage stress throughout the day or in the evening to promote relaxation before bed. Consistency is key.
- Administering the Tincture: Using the dropper, place the desired amount of CBG tincture under your tongue. Hold it there for about 30-60 seconds before swallowing. This method allows the CBG to be absorbed directly into the bloodstream for quicker effects.
- Monitor Your Effects: Pay attention to how you feel after taking the tincture. You may notice a gradual reduction in anxiety and stress levels, as well as an improvement in mood and focus. If needed, adjust your dose to better suit your needs.
