Canniboid is a non-intoxicating cannabinoid known for being the result of when THC ages. THC breaks down as it ages thus leading to the less potent cannabinoid, CBN. CBN is generally thought of as a weaker version of THC. It’s about 25% as effective, classifying it as a mild chemical. CBN, in very large doses, has been known to produce psychoactive reactions.
Below I have detailed all the potential health benefits of CBN:
Antibacterial – Researchers found CBN to be a potent antibacterial agent against certain resistant strains, suggesting that CBN can be used to fight off bacterial infections that our usual antibiotics can’t.
- Neuroprotectant – CBN was used as a treatment for ALS and the research findings suggested that it was able to delay the onset of the condition.
- Appetite stimulation – Being a weaker version of THC, CBN could potentially offer an alternative for those seeking the munchies, without the high.
- Glaucoma – CBN has been found to reduce intraocular pressure, which is the biggest risk factor for glaucoma.
- Anti-inflammatory – CBN may also be a potent anti-inflammatory agent for those with rheumatoid arthritis.
- Sleep aid – CBN has sedative properties that could help with insomnia.
- Pain relief – In clinical trials, CBN provided relief in muscle and joint pain for those with conditions like fibromyalgia.
- Neuroprotective properties – CBN could help delay amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS, which is a disease that affects cells in the brain and the spinal cord.
CBN isn’t normally as widely available as its other cannabinoid counterparts, but it can be found in certain forms, such as Oils, Tinctures, CBN capsules, Disposables vape pens, Teabags, and CBN isolate.
