CBN: What It Is and How to Take It
New to CBN? Start here. CBN forms naturally as THC ages and is the cannabinoid behind most nighttime product lines. This guide explains what it is and how to take it.
What is CBN?
CBN (cannabinol) is a mildly intoxicating cannabinoid that forms naturally as THC ages. It is the cannabinoid most associated with nighttime and wind-down products. Labels show CBN content in milligrams (mg), often alongside THC.
CBN shows up most often in gummies and softgels, and is frequently blended with THC. Because the effect can build, it is one to ease into. Cannabis is for adults 19+.

New to CBN? Start low, go slow.
If you are new to CBN, start with a low dose, about 2.5 to 5 mg, and take it well before bed so you can give it the full onset time. Because many CBN products also contain THC, let the THC amount be your guide and go slow.
