Why People Are Loving CBN 

As CBD has grown in popularity throughout the past few years, more and more people are using it to treat everything from anxiety to inflammation. Formally known as “cannabidiol”, CBD is a chemical compound from the Hemp Sativa plant. What many people aren’t aware of, however, is that the Hemp Sativa plant offers other cannabinoids besides just CBD, such as CBN and CBG. In this article, we’re going to focus on CBN, and break down exactly what it is and the benefits that it can offer you.

CBN is short for “cannabinol”, which, like CBD, is another cannabinoid extracted from the plant. CBN forms when tetrahydrocannabinol breaks down after long periods of time. Just like some fine wines are better with age, so is CBN. The degradation of the hemp derived THC is accelerated when it’s exposed to oxygen and heat. It’s important to note that just because CBN is formed from THC, similarly to CBD, it does not get users high. In fact, it has been shown to be only 1/4 as strong as THC.

CBN is known as the “sleepy” cannabinoid, since it’s found to help users relax and fall asleep. While CBD and THC can help users feel more relaxed, CBN solely helps with this. Additionally, whereas CBD has been used to help with appetite suppression, CBN has been known to help with appetite stimulation.

Just like CBD, CBN is legal in all 50 states. However, because CBN is rather new, it hasn’t been researched as extensively as both CBD and THC have been. That being said, however, CBN has become popular with CBD users who do need a bit more help with sleep and relaxation. Additionally, CBN has been said to help with pain relief as well.
