Like CBD, CBG is a non-intoxicating compound found naturally in the hemp plant that is known for helping to manage mild/temporary anxiety. And these benefits are backed by science: participants in a 2022 CBDistillery study who took CBD + CBG reported:
Reduced mild or temporary anxiety and tension
Increased focus and mental clarity
That CBD + CBG was more effective than other treatments they tried in the past

The Heritage Table
📍 Downtown Frisco
The Heritage Table menu pulls from local ranches and farms, and the dishes include Fried Green Tomatoes, Country-Fried Chicken & Spaetzle and Chocolate Silk Pie.
From chef Rich Vana, it sits inside a 1917 house on Main Street in downtown Frisco. Older building, good lighting, no TVs. It's quieter than most spots, which is either a selling point or a dealbreaker depending on who you're talking to.
