Great question to ask! With CBG hemp flower, the same process applies: when you smoke or vape it, heat instantly activates the cannabinoids—specifically converting CBGA (the “acid” form) into CBG, which your body can use more efficiently. In oils or edibles made from CBG flower, this decarboxylation happens during cooking or infusion. If you consume raw CBG hemp flower without heating, most of the cannabinoids remain in their original acid form, which are less active and may result in milder or different effects. That’s why heating CBG hemp flower—by smoking, vaping, or baking—makes the effects stronger and more noticeable, even though beneficial plant compounds are present in both forms.
