A Warm Welcome for CBN
As the legal market expands past its infancy people are beginning to explore beyond just THC percentages. Consumers are understanding the importance of terpenes and different cannabinoid isolation. Although research is still ongoing, we know the different cannabinoids and terpenes work together in an entourage effect to incite varying effects and a multitude of different benefits. This richer side of cannabis consumption is extremely exciting for anyone who, like me, adores the wellness side of cannabis and consumes for a multitude of reasons beyond ‘just getting high’. A real game changer for me right now is Cannabinol, or CBN. Cannabinol is formed through the ageing process of THC by exposing it to oxygen or ultraviolet light for prolonged periods. CBN is great because it offers a lot of the same benefits of THC without the high. In this way it can be added to most wellness routines without upping THC content. Available right now in oils, vape carts, gems and gummies CBN is a must try for anyone looking to heighten their cannabis experience.
Most products take advantage of the entourage effect and so CBN products will usually have a THC and CBD inclusion which is important. Anecdotally I am obsessed with the medipharm Labs CBN:CBD 1:2 Relax formula, it's a 30ml bottle of oil and it is an absolute must have for anyone wanting an amazingly restful sleep. The CBD relaxes and soothes, the THC puts me to sleep and the CBN keeps me asleep and increases my sleep quality ten fold. Another good choice for relaxation and rest is a good CBN gummy. I love the Wana Quick CBN Midnight Berry Indica soft chews with 5mg CBN 10mg CBD and 2MG THC, these gummies are a delicious treat and an absolutely perfect nightcap. I have to say that my very favourite CBN product so far is the Northbound Cannabis CBN:CBD Lemon Skunk x CKS & CRM 510 vape cart. With 0.4% THC, 48% CBD, and 24% CBN I like to refer to this delightful 510 as my “take it down a notch” cart, and for me that's just what it does. Unlike other CBD carts this one is great because it doesn't make me sleepy, it's soothing and calming and a bit of a “non high” pick me up so I can hit it all day without feeling sleepy.
So if you haven't tried CBN now is the perfect time as there is a consumption method and a ratio for everyone. Come on in and chat to one of our amazing budtenders and find a product that’s perfect for you and your individual needs.
