CBN oil

What is CBN

The abbreviation CBN stands for cannabinol. Cannabinol is an active substance in cannabis. When you heat cannabis and add oxygen, a process of oxidation of THC starts. During this oxidation, THC is converted into CBN. So CBN is actually the end product of THC. Although THC is a psychoactive substance, CBN as an end product is not. CBN oil is also not addictive.

What is CBN Oil?

In short, CBN-Oil is an oil with CBN added to it. CBN Oil is made in almost the same way as CBD Oil. The difference is mainly in the type of cannabis that is used. There is little CBN in industrial hemp and cannabis that you buy in shops. To obtain good CBN, special CBN cannabis is grown under optimal conditions so that the cannabis plant contains a high CBN content.

How does CBN Oil work?

CBN interacts with the endocannabinoid system. This is a body's own system that regulates all kinds of important bodily processes and plays a major role in keeping your body and mind in balance. Because many processes are involved in this system, the operation of CBN is very broad. CBN is recognized as a body's own substance, so it can enhance the healing effect of the endocannabinoid system in your body. For example, CBN can be used to support the regulation of the processes below.

• Sleep
• Memory
• Mobility
• Digestion and Appetite
• Blood pressure

What is the difference between CBN and CBD?

For a long time, CBN was seen as a by-product of cannabis that deserved little attention. But it is now believed that CBN is the most sedative of all cannabinoids. You won't get high from CBN oil, but CBN is known for a more soothing and sedating effect than, for example, CBD. Although it is similar in effect to CBD, its origin is different because CBN is the product of oxidation. Manufacturers expose THC to heat and light. This breaks down THC and leaves CBN behind.
