Summary
This study gave 100 healthy adults either 50 mg of CBG or a placebo to see how it affects anxiety, stress, mood, memory, and physical signs like heart rate and blood pressure. Researchers also tracked side effects like sleepiness or dry mouth. The goal is to better understand both the potential benefits and risks of CBG in humans.
