CBN oil

What exactly is CBN oil?

The abbreviation CBN stands for cannabinol. CBN oil is therefore an oil based on cannabinol. Cannabinol is a substance from the cannabis plant. Although the substance comes from THC, it is non-psychoactive. This means that you will never get high or stoned from CBN oil, unlike what the user experiences from a joint, for example.

CBN oil is generally used by people who want a better sleep pattern and who want to be more balanced. CBN oil can be made with hemp seed oil, but also with sunflower oil or olive oil. Although it is a natural substance and has therefore been available for a long time, it has only really become known in recent years. We recommend everyone with an interest in cannabis oil to try CBN oil.

Why do people choose CBN oil?

CBN oil has multiple effects on body and mind. CBN oil helps enormously to get a good sleep rhythm. The user falls asleep more easily, stays asleep longer and sleeps deeper and therefore better. In addition, CBN oil relieves stress complaints and accelerates recovery after, for example, sports. All these effects together ensure that the well-being of the user is improved in general. Experienced experts say that they are more balanced thanks to CBN oil.

What exactly does CBN do with body and mind?

We mentioned the effects earlier, but let's zoom in on what exactly CBN oil does to the user. CBN influences the endocannabinoid system in the human body. This system is responsible for several essential physiological functions, such as cognition, vision, mood and sleep. In addition, CBN also has an effect on our brain. There are two known receptors in the human brain that bear these names: CB1 and CB2. CBN makes a connection with the CB2 receptor, and this is where the effect on the user's sleep largely takes place.

But that's not all. Here's an overview of specific effects of CBN oil that have been described by experts:

• Falling asleep easier
• Sleep longer and deeper
• Stress relief
• Faster recovery after exercise
• Improved Digestion
• More appetite
• Smoothes motor skills
• Sharpened Memory
• Lower blood pressure

What is the difference between THC oil, CBD oil and CBN oil?

Although CBN originates from THC, it is really something else. CBN has no psychoactive effect. This will be reassuring for people who would like to try a cannabis substance but don't want to be overwhelmed by its effects. CBD is more similar to CBN in effects, but is used for different reasons: relief of physical pain, inflammation and anxiety are important motivations for taking CBD. As mentioned, an improved sleep rhythm is the main reason for CBN.

How many drops of CBN oil should I take?

The correct dosage of CBN oil varies per person, but we can say something about it in general. The majority of CBN users consider 10 mg CBN to be a pleasant dosage. For beginners, it is advisable to start with a small dosage and build up from that dosage. Keep a close eye on your body and mind at all times. In the long term, you will then be able to determine more accurately what the perfect dosage is for you.

What percentage of CBN oil is best?

We advise people to buy CBN oil of 5-10%. There is also CBN oil with a lower percentage, but they are often of a lower quality.

How long does it take for CBN oil to start working?

CBN oil usually starts working after about half an hour. That is why we recommend taking CBN oil half an hour before going to sleep. This will further enhance the positive effects on your sleep. Of course, it is difficult to notice exactly what CBN oil does to you during your sleep, but after a few days you will automatically notice that you will be more rested. Because then the effects of your improved night's sleep will start to become clearly visible.

Combining CBN with other cannabinoids

CBN is often combined with THC. This combination enhances the effect of the THC. However, the effect is slightly changed by this; the user mainly becomes drowsy and sleepy. So only do this if you really want to combine the effects of CBN with those of THC.

CBN is often mixed with CBD. The big advantage of this is that a so-called 'entourage effect' occurs. This means that the cannabinoids together are stronger than the different cannabinoids separately.

How should I store CBN oil?

Choose a cool, dark place in your home. The fridge is good, but just in a storage cupboard is also fine. In any case, it is important not to put the CBN oil in the sun, because then the quality unfortunately deteriorates very quickly.

Safety, Addictiveness and Warnings about CBN Oil

CBN oil is not addictive. So you don't have to worry about that. However, medical pills that are used to achieve similar effects as with CBN oil are addictive.

Then some warnings of importance. It is not wise to take CBN oil when you are breastfeeding, when you are pregnant or if you have a medical condition or illness. If you are using medication, it is always wise to ask your doctor for advice. He or she can assess whether you can use CBN oil in addition to the medication.
