What is CBN - Cannabinol? Short info

WHAT IS CBN (Cannabinol)?

CBN – is still relatively unknown to many and is seen by experts as the successor to HHC.

There is a lot of talk about CBD and studies have been looking into the cannabinoid for a long time. The hemp plant is once again receiving a lot of attention worldwide due to the positive experiences of countless users.

CBN has some similarities with CBD, but there are also several differences.

Cannabinol is one of the more than 100 cannabinoids found in the hemp plant. According to research, it is said to contribute primarily to mental relaxation, but the decoding of its other effectiveness has not yet been fully completed.

Technically, CBN is produced by oxidation caused by heat and light in mature hemp plants. The biochemical precursor of CBN is THC, the substance that is not allowed to be available on the market in high doses. Mature hemp flowers exposed to the sun and high temperatures produce large amounts of CBN. The more mature the plant, the higher the amount of CBN present.

Even though CBN has a slightly psychoactive effect, it is not listed as a “New Psychotropic Substance” in Austria and Germany. This fact and the fact that HHC products were banned in many European countries in spring 2023 led to an increased demand for CBN products.

WHAT ARE THE CHARACTERISTICS OF CBN?

CBD is the best known and most frequently used cannabinoid, about whose effects a lot is already known and new study reports are constantly being published. CBN is the lesser-known part, but its properties are also convincing at first glance. Similar to cannabidiol, CBN works primarily via the receptors of the endocannabinoid system and particularly specifically on the CB2 receptor. The effect is described by users as slightly dampening, relaxing, calming and sleep-inducing. Due to its properties, CBN is also said to have a balancing effect and antibiotic effects.

WHERE IS CBN USED?

Up to now, CBN has been used primarily for mental calming. Its effect on the endocannabinoid system can influence the central nervous system. The difference between CBD and CBN is that CBN primarily interacts with the receptors, while CBD directly addresses the endocannabinoid system. CBN is a variant of the cannabis plant that works similarly, but not identically, to CBD. CBN can have similar effects to THC, just to a lesser extent. The latest findings show that this cannabinoid helps to relax almost 5 times more effectively than CBD, it suppresses appetite and can help with sore joints. It is also said to have anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and antifungal properties. CBN causes fewer negative feelings or side effects. A promising future milestone in biomedicine.

DO CBN AND CBD COMPATIBLE?

There is nothing wrong with that. Quite the opposite. Many modern CBD oils also contain cannabinol. The synergy of several cannabinoids with the terpenes of the hemp flowers is known as the entourage effect. Therefore, there are different variations of high-quality CBD oils, the best of which are full-spectrum oils with the CBN content already present. This means that all of the plant's ingredients are used and together produce positive effects on the organism.

According to studies published to date in the Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, the combination of CBD and CBN can promote restful sleep and improve sleep quality in the long term due to its anxiety and stress-relieving potential. Without any habituation effect or a certain dependency. It can lead to deeper deep sleep phases and noticeably better recovery effects.

IS CBN LEGAL?

The same regulations apply as for CBD. CBN products may have a maximum THC content of 0.3% in Austria and Germany and, like CBD products, must be made from seeds from the EU variety catalogue. Please research which regulations apply to other countries.
