My Opinion
CBGo is very like CBG in many ways but with a few key differences. The main one being how the focus feels. In a very similar way to THCVo, the focus feels "aimless" and more like I want to daydream for a long time than do any kind of work. The other main difference is that the come up and come down are very noticeably more tapered and gentle. Sometimes in a blend, CBG can make you feel a lot of stimulation and face tingles very quickly, whereas CBGo takes its time kicking in and it just kind of slowly fades out.
Overall, I think the main best use for CBGo is for "wake-up" blends. Not necessarily a "time for work" type blend, but that kind of stimulation and focus is a very nice and gentle way to wake up.
Also, if CBG causes you anxiety, CBGo would be a good one to try out instead.

N/A
I love your description of the "aimless" and daydreaming qualities of CBGo. I couldn't really verbalize what I was feeling, but that is exactly it. I enjoy it, especially for thinning out blends - I've been using it around 3% of my blends and mainly with HHC (my go-to) as a base.
