What is CBN?

Cannabinol (CBN) is a minor cannabinoid that occurs naturally in the hemp plant. It forms when delta-9 THC oxidizes over time and partially converts into a different compound. Despite sharing that origin with THC, CBN behaves very differently, and it is non-intoxicating in the amounts found in standard hemp products. The first cannabinoid ever isolated was CBN, which was found in 1899. Today, it's widely recognized for its mellowing, calming character, and it's a popular choice in evening and nighttime formulas.

CBN Products — Frequently Asked Questions

How is CBN Made?

CBN forms naturally when delta 9 THC in the hemp plant oxidizes over time, either through exposure to air, light, or heat. To produce a usable CBN product, manufacturers extract and isolate the trace CBN found in hemp, then blend it with other ingredients to create various product types like tinctures, capsules, or vapes.

What is CBN Good For?

CBN is widely known for its mellowing and calming properties. It's commonly used in evening routines and sleep formulas. Many people describe the effect as soothing, making it a popular choice for those winding down at the end of the day. We do not make specific health claims, but customer interest in CBN is strongly tied to its nighttime appeal.

How does CBN work?

The body's endocannabinoid system (ECS), a network of receptors that aids in the regulation of numerous physiological processes, interacts with CBN. Like other cannabinoids, CBN binds to cannabinoid receptors in the ECS. It is part of what's called the CBN Spectrum of activity, meaning its effects can vary depending on the dose, format, and other cannabinoids present in the same product.

How Do I Use CBN?

How you use CBN depends on the product you choose. Before swallowing, tinctures are positioned beneath the tongue and held there for roughly half an hour. Capsules and edibles are taken orally and metabolized through the digestive system. Vapes are inhaled and tend to work faster. Consistently adhere to the dosage guidelines found on the label of your particular product.

Where Does CBN Come From?

CBN comes from the hemp plant. It is produced when delta 9 THC in the plant ages and oxidizes, converting into cannabinol. The hemp used to produce our CBN products is sourced from reputable growers and processed under controlled conditions to preserve quality.

How is CBN Different from CBD?

CBN and CBD are both non-intoxicating cannabinoids derived from hemp, but they have different origins and reported characteristics. CBD is directly produced by the hemp plant in relatively large amounts, while CBN forms as a byproduct of THC oxidation and is present in smaller quantities. CBD is broadly used throughout the day, while CBN is more commonly associated with evening and nighttime use due to its mellowing character.

How Long Does It Take to Feel the Effects of CBN?

The time it takes depends on the delivery method. Vapes typically produce effects within minutes. Tinctures placed under the tongue may take 15 to 45 minutes. Edibles and capsules can take anywhere from 45 minutes to 2 hours since they pass through the digestive system first. Individual factors like body weight, metabolism, and tolerance also play a role.

Is CBN Effective on Its Own?

Yes, CBN can be effective on its own, though many users find that it works particularly well when combined with other cannabinoids. Products that pair CBN with CBD or other hemp-derived compounds may offer what's known as the entourage effect, where cannabinoids support one another's activity. That said, there are plenty of CBN-only products in our collection for those who prefer a more focused approach.

Is CBN Legal?

Yes, CBN is federally legal in the United States. When the Farm Bill was passed in 2018, it established that hemp-derived products are legal as long as they contain no more than 0.3% delta 9 THC. CBN meets that standard, and it currently remains legal across all 50 states. To stay up to date on any changes at the state level, always check your local rules.

What is the Recommended Dosage of CBN Products?

There is no one-size-fits-all dosage for CBN products. We recommend starting with the manufacturer's suggested serving size printed on the product label, and adjusting from there based on your experience. Most of the time, new users are told to start with a lower dose and slowly raise it. Because CBN is considered non-toxic, higher amounts are often well tolerated, but going slowly is always the smarter approach.

What Are the Side Effects of CBN?

Although CBN is generally thought to be well tolerated, some users—especially those taking larger doses may experience mild drowsiness, dry mouth, or lightheadedness. Because of its mellowing qualities, it's best to take CBN at a time when you don't need to be fully alert or drive a vehicle. If you take any medications, consult your healthcare provider before implementing CBN products into your regimen.

Can CBN Get You High?

No, CBN does not get you high in standard product doses. CBN has only trace psychoactive potential and would require extremely high amounts, far beyond what any of our products contain, to produce any intoxicating effect. However, some CBN products in our collection are blended with psychoactive cannabinoids like delta 8 THC, which would produce intoxicating effects. Always check the product details before purchasing if that's a concern for you.
