CBN

With the current available scientific literature as well as anecdotal evidence related to cannabinol (CBN), there is reason to believe that CBN has many benefits and positive effects. With further research into the effects of CBN on humans, more can be definitively said on the effects using CBN products can have. 

Sleep

A small study in 1975 suggests that CBN has powerful sedative effects and can benefit those looking for a  good night’s sleep.

Pain

According to a study conducted on rats, both CBN and CBD were seen to reduce myofascial pain, especially when used together. 

Anti-Inflammatory

In another rat study, CBN was shown to possibly reduce inflammation seen in arthritis cases, easing pain and discomfort. 

Appetite

Some accounts show that CBN may increase appetite without psychotropic effects

Compared to CBD, which is the fastest-growing trend in the natural wellness world, CBN is not as well-known due to its limited set of benefits for sleep. That means you may not be able to find CBN products in your typical dispensaries or holistic stores. Today, your best bet is to order CBN online from reliable retailers like Cannabidiol Life.

Not only are we one of the few online stores to offer CBN products, but all our CBN products are made from premium-quality hemp and tested at independent laboratories for quality and safety. When you order CBN from our store, you can rest assured that you are getting the best CBN products on the market today.

Currently, we only offer CBN in oil and gummy formats. To determine the best CBN dosage for your needs, we advise you to follow each product label’s recommended use, as the CBN per serving in gummies and oil products may vary.

Our CBN products contain no THC, so you won’t experience any psychotropic effects when taking our products.

All our CBN is obtained from organic hemp grown on American soil. We use no pesticides or harmful substances in our cannabinol products, and all the formulas in our collection are 100% cruelty-free.

Perhaps one of the most challenging questions surrounding CBN right now because there is not a definitive answer out there. The test results from one study claim that CBN is non-psychoactive, while another study states that it has “very mild psychoactive effects.” Grey areas do not provide black and white answers. Therefore, our recommendation is to be aware of the vague possibility of feeling a little woozy after consumption and taking all the necessary safety precautions.

Try not to fret too much as the actual chance of getting high from CBN or feeling any psychotropic effects is a gigantic “most likely not.”

Our Cannabidiol Life staff have all tried our CBN products, and not a single team member reported any THC psychotropic effects. If you take in moderation and follow the product instructions on the label, you’ll be just fine. Always consult with a medical professional for their approval.

Cannabinol works within our bodies by communicating and working directly with our bodies very intricate and vital internal management system known as the endocannabinoid system (ECS).

The ECS’s primary purpose is to promote total body homeostasis by helping transcribe the messages sent from our cells to the brain. This is something CBD works so well at accomplishing.

Once CBN enters the body, it binds with cannabinoid receptors known as CB1 receptors & CB2 receptors.

These receptors then take these messages to the nucleus of our cells. The nucleus reads these messages and then sends a command to the brain informing it of what it needs to do to fix the internal issue at hand; this is the beauty of man and nature working together in harmony.

To think that phytocannabinoids (nature providing plant-derived cannabinoids) are literally designed and match perfectly with receptor sites throughout our body. It’s a beautiful thing.

Legally, we cannot claim nor insinuate that any cannabinoid/hemp-derived product has any medical value whatsoever. Therefore, to lawfully and adequately answer this question, we advise that you go to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) website and do a search for “Cannabinol.” You will find a handful of medical studies available to learn more.

One of the biggest concerns about CBN is that it could provide strong sedative effects. This concept was derived based on a few older studies and random anecdotal evidence.  The problem is, it’s not backed by much science.  Now, there have been studies that have attributed CBN to having a sedative effect, but the scientific community is still unsure as it could have been the combination of any or all of the following:

• Cannabinol and THC
• Cannabinol and any other cannabinoid that we haven’t been able to research yet
• Cannabinol and Terpenes such as Myrcene and Caryophyllene (commonly found in hemp plants) can also contribute to this sleepy effect

The potency of CBN will vary from one plant to the next because THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) naturally converts into CBN as it ages and when it’s exposed to either heat or oxygen. With that said, the average CBN percentage found in each plant is between 3%-4%.

There are a lot more documented medicinal effects and benefits for CBD in comparison to CBN. So, we will use the currently available medical studies to answer this question. In regards to CBD, while studies do not show CBD to be a sleep inducer, CBD has shown to have positive effects in promoting full Rem cycles.  Now, if anxiety is one of the reasons you can’t sleep well at night, the conclusion of this study is very promising.

As for CBN, there isn’t much to go on, however, we did find a statement on HealthLine.com that shared how there is anecdotal evidence, “indeed”, that suggests CBN might be sedative.
