Cannabinoid Glossary Entry 

# CBN

Cannabinol — formed during the breakdown of THC, considered mildly sedating.

## Detailed Explanation

CBN (Cannabinol) is primarily formed through the oxidative degradation of THC, for example, during prolonged storage. It is only weakly psychoactive and is being researched, among other things, for its potential relaxing and sleep-promoting effects.
