CBH strains

CBN is a less known cousin from the cannabinoid family. This mysterious organic compound of cannabis, unlike many other cannabinoids, is not developed naturally as the plant grows but is the result of a THC-A degradation process. Both THC-A and CBN-A leave their acidic form and transform into THC and CBN, respectively, when exposed to heat.

When we talk about the benefits that CBN can bring to human health, we must highlight that it is one of the most potent natural sedatives known to man, being even more potent than valium. This offers a much healthier alternative to people who need help sleeping and can give you a good 6 hours of sleep without waking up feeling drowsy. Among other CBN benefits, we can find that it is anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, anticonvulsant, and vaso-relaxant. It can help with new bone formation, regulate the appetite, and even serve to treat burns.

However, many users often dismiss CBN because of its relationship with THC. For this reason, only those who aren’t affected by THC can get to experience the effects of CBN. To create more awareness about this unique compound, we have developed this simple list of high CBN strains to help you find the best match for your needs.

It won’t be surprising if you have never heard of cannabinol. It’s okay, we cannot know it all. It is why we have taken it upon ourselves to explain what this sensation means. Sit back, relax and enjoy this.

Cannabinol (CBN for short) is a form of cannabinoid that belongs to the tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) family. Cannabinol can be obtained when the THC ages and breaks into units (oxidation is the more scientific term of this).

The most distinct difference between the cannabinol and other forms of THC is that it does not shoot from cannabigerol (CBG). If you’re in search of CBN, you can find them in the flowers of fresh marijuana plants. However, it is a very rare substance. The good thing is, as the cannabis continues to age, the likelier it is to get higher CBN production.

People often confuse cannabinol for cannabidiol (CBD). The latter occurs naturally and does not stem from anywhere. Also, it is present in cannabis plants as a phytocannabinoid it does not originate from THC. Interestingly, CBN produces a lower intensity of highness. Surprise yeah? It is perplexing because it originates from THC which is infamous for its propensity to get people high.

What is CBN Oil?

Basically, it is the oil that can be extracted from cannabis and contains CBN. This oil can be added to your food or drinks like milk or tea, also you can use it by placing a small amount under your tongue and waiting for a minute or so before swallowing it.

Up next: we’re reviewing strains with relatively high CBN in them. Please note that CBN is quite uncommon. Therefore, their effects on these strains aren’t quite significant.

Cannabis Strains With High CBN

This Indica-dominant strain is a hybrid cross that has Afghani and Maui Haze as its mixtures. Its potency is rated as moderate. It does not disturb the sleep pattern.

Is CBN Legal?

There are lots of controversies surrounding the legality of CBN. It is the same as the legality of cannabis itself.

Federally, cannabis is referred to as a Schedule 1 substance. It means that it does not have any medical purpose recognized by the government and its addictiveness rate is high.

Generally, if THC content is less than 0.3%, it should be considered legal. Such contents are referred to as full-spectrum. Most CBN strains are less than that.

In some states in the US, you may use CBN for recreational purposes.

Strains high in CHB

Because CBN is a degraded THC form, it is logically related to cannabis strains that contain a high percentage of THC. So, any cannabis that produces THCA, after it’s been stored around for a long time or exposed to high room temperatures and generally long past its sell-by date, will contain a high amount of CBN. When we talk about high CBN concentration levels, we refer to levels higher than 0.3%, as you will find CBN in small amounts and just in a relatively reduced number of cannabis strains. With that said, here are the best CBN-rich strains you can find on the online cannabis market nowadays.
