| Cannabinol - CBN |
Cannabinol is a cannabinoid in marijuana that aids in sleep,
anti-bacterial and skin problems. Cannabinol target receptors in the
body to administer the medicinal characteristics. The way cannabis
is grown and stored affects the concentration of Cannabinol.
One
of the main benefits for Cannabinol is treatment for insomnia. Many
of the studies are from research with a drug containing cannabis
named Nabilone. Nabilone is a cannabinol derivative of
cannabis.(Source)
Nabilone was found effective in helping with sleep for patients with
fibromyalgia (Source).
CBN
is superior to THC for absorbing through the skin making a great
topical application. The anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory
properties can help skin and protect against bacterial infections.
Studies have shown that CBN can protect against MRSA(Source)
and aid in skin burns and psoriasis.(Source)
Cannabinol CBN is mildly psycho-active. CBN effects the CB1
receptors very slightly and targets the CB2 receptors more. The
effects of cannabinol are very low compared to THC however it can
give different treatment results. (Source)
Trace
amounts of Cannabinol is found in cannabis. It is created through
metabolized THC or aged through oxidation. There are a couple ways
to achieve a higher concentration of Cannabinol. You should harvest
the cannabis plant late to allow the oxidation to occur and increase
the CBN. Cannabis purchased at a dispensary should be left out in
air and light to age. A higher concentration of THC will result in
more CBN.(Source)
