CBD, CBN, & CBG: What They Are, How They Work, and How to Dose

The Breakdown: What’s the Difference?

CBD - Cannabidiol

CBD is the most well-known non-intoxicating cannabinoid. It works by interacting with your body’s endocannabinoid system to promote balance—physically, mentally, and emotionally.

Potential Benefits:

● Stress relief without the high

● Supports recovery after physical activity

● May reduce inflammation and discomfort

● Can help regulate mood and sleep

CBD is a great starting point for anyone new to cannabis or looking for daily wellness support without any intoxication.

CBN – Cannabinol

CBN is mildly psychoactive but not intoxicating in the traditional sense. It’s known as the “sleeper cannabinoid,” often found in older cannabis as THC degrades. When paired with melatonin or CBD, it can support deep rest and calm.

Potential Benefits:

● Promotes sleep and relaxation

● May help with muscle tension

● Often used for nighttime routines

● Works best when combined with other calming cannabinoids

CBG – Cannabigerol

Often called the “mother cannabinoid,” CBG is where other cannabinoids (like CBD and THC) start before transforming into their final forms. It’s rare in high amounts, but powerful.

Potential Benefits:

● Can support focus and mental clarity

● May reduce inflammation, especially in the gut

● Believed to balance mood and enhance energy

● Non-intoxicating and daytime-friendly

CBG is often used in the morning or when you need a mental boost without the crash.

Dosing: Start Low, Go Slow

Cannabinoid Suggested Starting Dose When to Use

• CBD 10–25mg Morning, afternoon, or evening (as needed)

• CBN 2.5–10mg 30–60 minutes before bed

• CBG 5–15mg Morning or early afternoon for focus

Everybody is different—but here are some general guidelines to follow with WYLD gummies or similar cannabinoid products:

Tips:

● Always start with a single gummy (or half, if you're new).

● Wait 45–60 minutes before taking more.

● For long-term benefits, consistency is key—these aren’t just one-and-done fixes.

FAQ: Quick Answers to Common Questions

Q: Will these get me high?

A: No. CBD, CBN, and CBG are non-intoxicating. You won’t feel “high,” but you may feel calm, focused, or ready for bed—depending on the blend.

Q: Can I take more than one gummy?

A: You can, but we recommend starting low (½ or 1 gummy). If you’re new, take it slow and see how your body responds.

Q: Can I mix these cannabinoids?

A: Yes! Many people take CBD + CBG during the day, and switch to CBD + CBN at night. They often work better together thanks to something called the entourage effect.

Q: How often should I take these?
