CBG oil explained — and where to buy it in Perth

CBG oil is an oil that carries cannabigerol — a minor cannabinoid found in the hemp plant, sold here in a neutral MCT carrier. At CBD Oil Perth we stock it for Perth alongside our CBD range, priced in Australian dollars and posted across Perth, Fremantle, Mandurah, Joondalup, Bunbury, Western Australia and the wider WA. This page explains what CBG oil is, by composition, and where to buy it.

That is the short version. The longer answer is worth a few minutes, because "cbg oil" and the word cannabigerol get used loosely online, and a lot of what is written about CBG drifts into claims we will not make. Below is the plain product picture: what the compound is, how it sits next to CBD and CBN, what is actually in the bottle we sell, and how to read a label before you buy one in Perth.

What is CBG (cannabigerol)?

CBG, short for cannabigerol, is one of the many naturally occurring cannabinoids in Cannabis sativa — the same plant family that gives us hemp. It is described as a minor cannabinoid, which is a statement about quantity: a mature hemp plant contains only a small amount of it, far less than the cannabidiol (CBD) that dominates most extracts.

You will often see CBG called the "mother cannabinoid." That nickname is plant biology, not a benefit. As the hemp plant grows, it first produces an acidic compound called cannabigerolic acid, or CBGA. Enzymes in the plant then convert most of that CBGA into the building blocks of the other cannabinoids — the precursors of CBD, THC and CBC — as the plant matures. Because so much of the starting material is converted on the way, only a little CBG is left in the finished plant. So "mother" simply means it comes first in the plant's chemistry and the others are made from it; it does not describe anything the oil does in a person.

That scarcity is also the honest reason a CBG oil usually costs more than a CBD oil of the same size. There is less of the raw compound in the plant to begin with, so more plant material is needed to reach the same milligram figure. It is a supply fact about the cannabinoid, nothing more.

CBG vs CBD vs CBN

People searching for "cbg oil" are often really asking how it differs from the other cannabinoids on the shelf. The clearest way to tell them apart is by make-up, not by any claimed purpose.

• CBD oil (cannabidiol) is the most common. We sell it in two forms. Our full-spectrum CBD oil keeps CBD together with the smaller cannabinoids and natural terpenes from the same whole-plant extraction, including a legal trace of THC kept under 0.3%. Our broad-spectrum option is the same whole-plant profile taken through an extra step that removes the THC, so it tests at 0% THC.
• CBG oil (cannabigerol) is a single-cannabinoid oil built around the compound described above. It is its own molecule, distinct from CBD, and the hemp plant produces comparatively little of it.
• CBN oil (cannabinol) is different again. CBN is the cannabinoid that forms gradually as hemp ages rather than being made by the fresh plant. Our CBN oil is supplied as a THC-free isolate.

So the line-up is straightforward: CBD is the abundant one and comes whole-plant or THC-free; CBG is a separate minor cannabinoid; CBN is the one tied to ageing. All four oils in that group share the same neutral MCT carrier and the same 50ml bottle, which makes them easy to compare side by side.

What's in our CBG oil

Here is the actual specification of the CBG oil we sell, with nothing added that we cannot put on a label.

Each bottle is hemp extract in a coconut-derived MCT carrier oil — a neutral, food-grade oil that simply holds the cannabinoid in solution. The bottle is 50ml. The number on the front is the total cannabigerol content, and it runs from 1000mg up to 12000mg: the 1000mg CBG oil is the entry strength, with the 3000mg and 6000mg bottles putting progressively more cannabinoid into the same volume. Pricing follows the strength and starts from $89.95 in Australian dollars.

Every batch is tested by an independent laboratory, and we will send you the Certificate of Analysis for any batch you ask about — that report is where the cannabinoid figures and the THC content are confirmed in writing. The range is imported from EU Labs in Amsterdam and dispatched to you from within Australia. One thing we are deliberate about: this is a hemp-derived CBG oil, sold over the counter and described purely by its composition. It is not a prescription product, and we make no claim that it is one.

How to read the label and choose a strength

The most useful skill when buying any cannabinoid oil is reading the label, so you are comparing like with like rather than guessing.

Start with two numbers. The total milligrams (say, 3000mg) is how much cannabigerol is in the whole bottle. Divide that by the 50ml volume and you get the milligrams per millilitre — the strength of each drop. A higher-strength bottle does not change what the oil is; it simply concentrates more cannabinoid into each millilitre. Next, check the carrier (ours is coconut-derived MCT) and confirm the product is batch-tested with a COA available, so the figure on the front is backed by a lab report.

Which strength you choose is your decision, and it is a question of concentration and budget, not a medical one. We do not publish doses for any condition. If you want a plain walk-through of how the bottle, the dropper and the milligram figures fit together, our guide to using CBD oil covers measuring a serving — the same principles apply to a CBG oil.

Is CBG oil legal in WA?

CBG oil sits inside Australia's national framework for low-THC hemp and cannabinoid products, which is overseen federally rather than set separately by each city. In practice that means the THC content of a product matters, which is one more reason the Certificate of Analysis is worth reading before you buy.

Rather than paraphrase the rules, we point you to the source: the Therapeutic Goods Administration publishes Australia's current position on cannabidiol and related cannabinoids. For buyers in Perth and across WA, the practical point is simple — our oils are described by composition, sold to adults aged 18 and over, and posted to you within Australia.

FAQ

What is CBG? CBG is cannabigerol, a minor cannabinoid found in the hemp plant. CBG oil is that compound in a coconut-derived MCT carrier oil. It is often called the "mother cannabinoid" because the plant makes it first and converts most of it into the others as it grows.

Is CBG the same as CBD? No. They are two different cannabinoids from the same plant. CBD (cannabidiol) is far more abundant and comes as full-spectrum or broad-spectrum oil; CBG (cannabigerol) is a separate, less abundant compound sold on its own.

Does CBG oil contain THC? That depends on the product, which is why each batch has a Certificate of Analysis confirming the cannabinoid and THC figures. You can request the COA for any batch before you buy.

Is CBG oil legal in WA? Cannabinoid products are governed by Australia's national framework via the TGA. We describe our oils by composition and sell to adults 18+; check the TGA for the current national position.
