What Cannabis Strains Have High CBG and Enough THC to Still Get You High? 🌿🔥Updated 7 hours ago

If you have arthritis, CBG can be a game changer for inflammation and joint pain. The problem is that most “high-CBG” strains are bred to be low in THC, which isn’t ideal if you still want a proper buzz and a full entourage effect.

The sweet spot is moderate CBG paired with solid THC, not extreme CBG alone.

Why CBG + THC Works Better for Arthritis 🦴

CBG helps reduce inflammation and stiffness, while THC amplifies pain relief, muscle relaxation, and mood. Together, they create a stronger entourage effect than either compound alone — meaning better relief and an enjoyable high.

The Truth About High CBG + High THC ⚠️

Very few strains are naturally high in both. As cannabis matures, CBG converts into THC, so you usually get one or the other. That said, some THC-dominant strains still retain enough CBG (around 0.5–1% or more) to make a real difference.

Best Strains for CBG + THC Entourage Effects 🌱

White Widow
One of the best all-around options. Strong THC, noticeable CBG, excellent for joint pain, body relief, and still very euphoric.

Sour Diesel
Often tests higher in CBG than most THC-heavy strains. Great for daytime arthritis relief with energy and mood lift.

Jack Herer
Not body-heavy, but it retains minor cannabinoids well, including CBG. Good for inflammation relief without feeling sedated.

Grower Tip: How to Get Even More CBG 😎

If you grow your own, harvesting part of the plant slightly early preserves more CBG while letting the rest mature for THC. Blending both after curing gives you a custom arthritis-focused entourage effect.

Bottom Line 🌿

You don’t need a pure CBG strain to benefit. For arthritis relief and a satisfying high, look for THC-forward strains that naturally retain some CBG — especially classics like White Widow and Sour Diesel.

CBG works best when it doesn’t work alone 😉
