CBN: The Secret to Better Sleep
You may be familiar with cannabidiol (CBD) or cannabigerol (CBG). These are cannabinoids, which are chemicals found in or derived from the cannabis plant. But have you heard about cannabinol (CBN)?
Like the acronym suggests, CBN is another cannabinoid, but its properties are a bit different from the others. Unlike CBD and CBG, which help with anxiety and focus respectively, CBN can help you sleep, stimulate appetite, and treat pain.
Chemically, CBN is created as the cannabis plant cannabinoids break down and age. THC, the chemical that gets you high, breaks down and becomes CBN. As a result, CBN has some of the effects of THC, but is much milder than its parent chemical.
CBN works with your body and targets those cannabinoid receptors in your nervous and immune systems. When these receptors are stimulated, they work to inhibit certain neurons, which control the amount of GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) in your brain. GABA slows down brain function.
Put simply, CBN can help calm your brain down and get you a good night’s sleep.
Here’s a few recommendations from our budtenders to get you started:

This gummy has a blend of Delta 8 THC, Live Resin, and CBN at 50 mg combined! Drift off to sleep and stay asleep with this gummy.
Insomnia is one of the most common sleep disorders in the world. About 30% of adults suffer from insomnia. Bad sleep often leads to lower quality-of-life, hindered focus, and reduced attention.
A recent study tested CBN against a placebo compound on sleep quality. It found that just a relatively small dose (20mg) had an effect, reducing how often a person wakes up in the night, thus improving insomnia.
If you’re having trouble sleeping and considering CBN, then consider browsing our shop or look for the nearest location to you. We offer CBN in gummies, tinctures, syrups, and vape cartridges.
