CBN (Cannabinol), Have You Heard About It?
Cannabinol or CBN is one of the five major cannabinoids of the cannabis plant (the other ones are the well-known CBD and THC, as well as cannabichromene and cannabigerol).
The therapeutic potential of CBN had been researched back in the 1940s, and again the following decades, however, we still know very little about it [1].
CBN is the oxidized form of THC (when I mention THC, I am referring to ∆9-THC).
The fresh plant will have very little CBN, while the older plants (especially those exposed to heat and storage) will have higher levels.
High CBN strains? Different strains will have different cannabinoid combinations. Growers suggest that later harvests may create higher CBN content in cured flower.

Here is a **broken link removed** and other cannabinoid levels in various strains, as you can see strains like Blackberry, Blue Cherry Soda, Blueberry Diesel, Blueberry Kush, Bubble Gum, Charlotte’s Web have higher levels of CBN. However, you should also pay attention to the THC and CBD content.
There are no synthetic CBN based meds at this time.
CBN: Scientific evidence. Although we need more studies on CBN, research suggests the following potential benefits:
Its immunosuppressive, anti-inflammatory qualities could CBN a great candidate to manage autoimmune conditions like MS and cancer.
In animal models and lab studies, CBN was found to have :

CBN: Scientific evidence. Although we need more studies on CBN, research suggests the following potential benefits:
- immunosuppressive effects
- anti-inflammatory activities.
Its immunosuppressive, anti-inflammatory qualities could CBN a great candidate to manage autoimmune conditions like MS and cancer.
In animal models and lab studies, CBN was found to have :
- antibacterial (works against a variety of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains [5]
- analgesic
- weak anticonvulsant and
- appetite stimulant qualities.
More benefits of CBN
- Unlike THC, CBN does not appear to be psychoactive effects (won’t get you “high”), at least not when taken orally [6],[7], [8],[9],[10],[11]. However, it may have psychoactive effects when taking intravenous, suggests a new systematic review study [11],[12].
- Does not seem to interfere with other drugs, thus showing a great safety profile [13].
- It looks that you can get some CBN from Sativex (a combination of THC and CBD). One study found this drug to increase CBN levels in saliva [14].
- Marijuana clinics suggest that CBN has indica-like effects as it helps decrease pain and inflammation while stimulating the appetite.
