CBD is a well-known compound of the cannabis plant and has been researched on quite in detail. It is the second most abundant compound in the plant which is why it is one of the most well-known compounds. Because of this, manufacturers can breed some strains to contain higher amounts of CBD. It does not cause any of the euphoric effects that THC creates, its effects are more felt on the body. It’s believed to be a great option to relax muscles, reduce inflammation, pain, migraine, anxiety, depression and much more.

CBN is far less popular than CBD and is way less accessible in terms of availability as well. CBN is a compound that is formed as a result of processes within the plant due to the levels of THC and its exposure to elements such as time, heat, and light. CBN is believed to be a weaker form of THC since it borrows the same properties from THC, and although it’s a compound of the cannabis plant like CBD, its origin is different.

Although there is little research on CBN, there are some potential benefits, listed below:

-      Might relieve pain: According to a 2019 study, CBN might be able to relieve pain in people with conditions like fibromyalgia.

-      Might be able to stimulate pain: one study showed that CBN made rats eat more for a longer period of time and it might have properties that can stimulate appetite of people who might have lost it due to conditions like cancer.

-      Contains antibacterial properties that might Reduce inflammation: According to a study conducted in 2008, CBN was known to be able to kill bacteria, and just like many other cannabinoids, it is known to retain anti-inflammatory properties that can help with conditions like arthritis.

Overall, there is little research aboutCBN, which makes it extremely important for you to be mindful of where you are buying your CBN products from and how you are consuming it.
