WHAT IS CBN?

CBN stands for Cannabinol – not to be confused with the more popular cannabinoid Cannabidiol which stands for CBD.
CBN is the little legal brother of THC-Delta9.

When it comes to Cannabinol its characteristics develop much later on in the cannabinoid development stages. As cannabis grows, cannabinoids evolve into one another – CBG into CBD and THC, and in the case of CBN, it starts out as THCa.

In a process called decarboxylation, where elements such as heat, UV light, and oxygen are exposed to the plant material. Chemical changes prompt transitions where THC begins to deteriorate and converts into CBN. It is thought Cannabinol is generally found in the maturing stages of cannabis development. Often found in higher amounts in old or incorrectly stored cannabis flowers that have been exposed to the elements.
HOW DOES CBN WORK?

Like all cannabinoids, it is believed the CBN interacts with the endocannabinoid system. This internal system is responsible for an array of bodily functions – including regulating sleep and immune function. The body is filled with cannabinoid receptors that are ready to receive incoming messages when cannabinoids are introduced to the body. Scientific research suggests that it binds to the CB2 receptor, and in turn promotes a sedating effect.

Research into the Cannabinol compound is still in its infancy and there is still very little evidence for us to draw from.

WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CBD AND CBN?

Are they the same? While they are both cannabinoids there effects and chemical makeup are different. Even though Cannabinol is one of the lesser known cannbinoids, there is mounting interest in its sedating qualities.

The hemp version of cannabis sativa only contains less than 0.3 % THC. So, the possibility of your CBD oil products containing CBN is very small (however there is a possibility it could be found in tiny trace amounts)

WHAT ARE THE EFFECTS OF CBN?

Early scientific investigations have tested Cannabinol as a sleep aid but no conclusive results have been drawn. CBN is only be found in larger amounts in mature cannabis flowers, where THC has converted through exposure to air. As hemp only contains traces of THC, the levels of CBN believed to be present is little to none.

IS CBN PSYCHOACTIVE?

CBN is a cannabinoid that evolves fro THC, which is known for its high inducing effects. Deeper research is needed in order to truly define if Cannabinol is psychoactive. Some scientists report, CBN as having no psychoactive effects at all, while others tell of mild psychoactive properties.
