Get to know - CBN

What is CBN?

The cannabis plant provides hundreds of cannabinoids and CBN (cannabinol) is one of them. However, unlike most cannabinoids, which are naturally formed through the cannabis plant's growing process, CBN naturally forms due to the degradation of THC through light and oxygen exposure. This makes CBN a by-product of THC degradation so you won’t find flower naturally high in CBN unless it's fairly old and has undergone light and oxygen exposure. But if you’ve ever smoked, dabbed or vaped cannabis, you likely experienced a small dose of CBN.  

Cannabinol, or CBN, is gaining attention for its potential benefits related to sleep and pain relief. Plus CBN is a non-intoxicating cannabinoid, meaning it won’t get you high like THC.  This makes CBN a great option for people looking for the benefits of cannabis without a psychoactive experience.

The potential benefits of CBN include as a sleep aid, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial. Those benefits apply whether CBN is ingested, smoked, vaped, or even applied topically!
