CBD has been a mainstream topic for quite some time, noted for its medicinal benefits.

Have you heard of CBN though? This is another mariuana compound that is said to have beneficial properties. It is an abbreviation of Cannabinol which comes from the oxidation and decomposition of THC from a hemp plant. When THC is heated and exposed to Co2 (oxygen), it converts to CBN.

“We found that CBN slightly prolongs the sleep time in barbiturate-induced sleep in mice. There is no current information that I am aware of that proves CBN is a sedative, even though it is already being marketed as such,” said Zoe Sigman one of the principle researchers at Project CBD.

“The pharmacokinetics of CBN seems to be in between 1/6 and 1/10 of the potency of the CBD-1 receptor that THC is,” Sigman added.

Both CBD and CBN are known to relieve symptoms of pain and inflammation, by potentially altering pain signals that the brain receives.
