If you know Papa & Barkley, you know we’re passionate about cannabinoids. If you’re already familiar with the cannabinoids CBD and THC, you’re in the perfect place to learn about a cannabinoid that hasn’t gotten as much attention (though we have a feeling that might soon change). It’s called CBN, and we’re excited to showcase it in our forthcoming CBN gummies.
But this presents a question: If you’re already a fan of our products designed for evening routines, what’s the difference: CBD or CBN? In today’s post, we’ll answer that question and others, including: What is CBN? What is the difference between CBD and CBN? What’s the best way to use CBN?
Ready? Let’s learn more!
What Is CBN?
As regular readers of our CBD Blog know, CBD is part of a family of compounds called cannabinoids, natural compounds found in hemp, that are being studied for their various properties. CBN—short for cannabinol—is another cannabinoid, and like CBD it interacts with our bodies through the endocannabinoid system (ECS), a regulatory network involved in maintaining balance in the body.
What Is the Difference Between CBD and CBN?
As “cannabinoid cousins,” CBD and CBN share similarities and differences. As referenced above, neither imparts a psychoactive euphoria or intoxication. CBD is often associated with relaxation and calm experiences. On the other hand, CBN is frequently chosen by those interested in incorporating a gentle option for their evening routine.
Research is ongoing as academics study CBN’s qualities and its unique interactions in the body. Some people choose to combine CBD and CBN in their routines. The “entourage effect” is a phenomenon in which cannabinoids and other cannabis compounds may work together to create a broader range of experiences than they do individually.
CBN and Evening Routines
CBN is created by the breakdown of the cannabinoid THC, and some researchers believe this explains their overlaps in some properties. But CBN exhibits different characteristics from its “big sibling.” Many people find it complements relaxation and is popular in evening product formulas.
CBN Products: What’s the Best CBN Option?
Our solventless CBD extraction techniques produce a pure oil that’s naturally rich in cannabinoids and terpenes.
