Does CBD Mix with Prescription Medications? Does CBD Mix with Prescription Medications? Under normal use, cannabidiol (CBD) has few side effects. However, like any drug, it has to be metabolized by your body. This can cause problems with enzyme availability, leading to increased side effects and decreased effectiveness of many prescription medications. Here’s what you need to know to make sure your CBD regimen is compatible with your prescription medications. How Drugs are Metabolized Drugs don’t enter and exit your body directly. Instead, they must be metabolized by your digestive system and liver. A family of over 50 enzymes called Cytochrome P-450 (CYP450) break down substances into forms that can be eliminated from your body. The enzymes work in two ways. When the drug first enters your system, the enzymes make a “first pass,” breaking down part of the initial dose. The remaining drug is “bio-available.” Dosages are adjusted to make sure there is enough bioavailable medicine in you...

  What is CBG Uses & Benefits? CBG or  cannabigerol , a non-psychoactive cannabinoid, is a natural precursor to all other cannabinoids. CBG is a minor cannabinoid, mainly because it occurs in low concentration in a harvested cannabis plant. Despite its naturally-low concentrations, it is an incredible medicinal cannabinoid used to treat many health conditions.  CBG: What is it? CBG is short for Cannabigerol and is known as “the mother of all cannabinoids” as it is the building block of the popular cannabis compounds such as CBD & THC. CBG starts out as CBG-A, an acidic form of CBG, which occurs naturally in hemp and cannabis plants.
