What Is CBN? A Beginner’s Guide

In recent years, cannabidiol (CBD) has gained attention because of its multitude of potential medicinal benefits. On the other hand, delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (otherwise known as delta-9 THC) is well-known for its psychoactive effects as well as its own potential benefits.. Although these two cannabinoids receive most of the attention from the mainstream media and even most hemp product manufacturers, there are more than 100 cannabinoids in hemp and cannabis plants. Among these, delta-9 THC and CBD are not the only cannabinoids with benefits. For instance, CBN, or cannabinol, is being studied for its positive effects, and particularly for its usefulness as a sleep aid.

Though less researched and used than THC and CBD, CBN exhibits potential in treating some conditions. Learn more about the possible advantages and disadvantages of this less common cannabinoid by reading this comprehensive guide to CBN!

CBN Explained

Like all other cannabinoids, CBN is a compound that naturally appears in hemp plants. Unlike some major cannabinoids such as delta-9 THC and CBD, CBN only naturally appears in relatively small amounts. When delta-9 THC is exposed to heat, light, or air, it produces CBN. In order to produce greater quantities of CBN, scientists conduct a process that involves oxidizing delta-9 THC. CBN functions on the body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS), similarly to how CBD does. CB2 receptors, which are crucial to the central nervous system, bind with CBN. This is believed to be the source of CBN’s benefits.

What Are the Benefits of CBN?

Similar to CBD, CBN is believed to have natural anti-inflammatory properties, meaning that it can be an effective pain reliever. In fact, some studies have shown that it can help relieve chronic pain. Additionally, many scientists believe that CBN could also function as a sleep aid because of its sedative properties. Because of this, it is recommended that customers don’t use CBN when they are instead hoping for uplifting effects like a burst of energy. Unlike delta-9 THC, CBN is not a psychoactive cannabinoid, meaning that it does not produce a “high.” Instead, CBN can help users treat conditions such as chronic pain, glaucoma, and insomnia.
