One of the many cannabinoids gaining traction in the hemp industry right now is cannabinol, or CBN. Like the more popular cannabinoid, CBD, CBN is currently being studied by scientists for its multitude of potential health benefits. CBN, like other hemp cannabinoids, was only federally legalized in the United States in 2018. This means that scientific research is still in relatively early stages. However, the research that has been conducted so far is promising. In particular, CBN has been shown to be an effective sleep aid.
What is CBN?
Hemp plants naturally contain compounds called cannabinoids. Some of these include CBD, delta-9 THC, CBG, and CBN. In contrast to certain significant cannabinoids like CBD and delta-9 THC, CBN is only found in comparatively modest concentrations in nature. Heat, light, or air exposure of delta-9 THC results in the production of CBN. Scientists use an oxidation technique to manufacture larger amounts of CBN by converting delta-9 THC. CBN acts similarly to how CBD does with the body's endocannabinoid system (ECS). CBN binds to CB2 receptors, which are essential to the central nervous system. The benefits of CBN are thought to stem from this.
The ECS regulates a number of important functions, such as sleep cycle, appetite, and mood. By interacting with the ECS to promote a state of homeostasis and thereby stabilizing your emotional response, CBN can reduce stress and anxiety levels. This can, in turn, help regulate your sleep cycles, resulting in longer, deeper, and more consistent sleep.
Is CBN Legal?
Unlike delta-9 THC, the prominent cannabinoid in marijuana, CBN is not a psychoactive compound. This means that it does not produce mind altering effects. However, the legality of this cannabinoid hasn’t always been so cut and dry. Despite its many potential benefits and its lack of psychoactive properties, CBN was only federally legalized in the United States in 2018. Hemp customers should be aware that, although hemp products which contain 0.3% delta-9 THC or less are legal on a federal level in this country, each state has the authority to enforce their own regulations. This means that hemp legality, and in turn, CBN legality, could potentially vary from state to state. That’s why it’s vital that you check your local laws before purchasing and using hemp products.
