CBN and Sleep: What the Science Suggests

What Is CBN, Exactly?

CBN (cannabinol) is a cannabinoid that’s closely related to THC, but it’s not the same experience. One key detail: CBN is commonly formed as cannabis ages, because THC can slowly break down into CBN over time (storage conditions like oxygen, heat, and time can influence this).

That “aged cannabis makes you sleepy” folklore? It’s partly why CBN became associated with sleep in the first place.
