Introduction
Molecules from cannabis are on the rise. If THC and CBD are well known to the general public, another molecule deserves our full attention: CBN, or cannabinol. Why so much excitement around this molecule? This is what we are going to discover together.
What is CBN?
CBN, or cannabinol, is one of several cannabinoids found in the cannabis plant. This molecule is particularly interesting because it is the result of the degradation of THC (delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol). In other words, when THC is exposed to oxygen, light and heat, it gradually transforms into CBN.
The physiological effects of CBN in humans
