What is CBN?
CBN (cannabinol) is one of the cannabinoids found in the cannabis plant. Although it is not as popular as CBD or THC, CBN has unique properties and potential benefits that make it a topic of interest to researchers and consumers. Here are some key points about CBN:

Formed from THC: CBN is formed when THC breaks down or oxidizes. For example, cannabis that has been stored for a long time may have higher levels of CBN due to the breakdown of THC.
What is THC?
THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol) is the primary psychoactive component of the cannabis plant. It is the most well-known and studied cannabinoid and is responsible for the euphoric or “high” feeling that many people associate with cannabis. Here are some key points about THC:

Psychoactive: THC is the primary compound in cannabis that leads to the psychoactive effect or euphoric feeling. When THC is consumed, it interacts with cannabinoid receptors in the brain, leading to various psychological effects.
Side effects While many people use THC without any problems, for some it can cause side effects such as anxiety, paranoia, dry mouth, red eyes, and increased heart rate. It is also known to temporarily affect short-term memory.
Development in the plant: THC is produced in the cannabis plant through a process in which THCA, a non-psychoactive precursor, is decarboxylated (typically through heat, as when cannabis is smoked or vaped).
Interaction with CBD: Interestingly, the effects of THC can be modified or counteracted by another cannabinoid, CBD (cannabidiol)CBD is non-psychoactive and can help reduce some of the unwanted psychoactive effects of THC, such as anxiety or paranoia.
