My Opinion

CBN is a very good but one-note cnoid. For any sleep or relaxation blend, I consider it a must, but outside of those 2 scenarios I almost never use it, though if you want to add some extra heady elements, low percentages can be used in a daytime-oriented blend.

 

Another flaw it seems to run into is not quite lasting all night - even when eaten. This is where CBNo comes in - with a blend that has both, you will get put to sleep by the CBN but KEPT asleep by the CBNo.

 

It can be quite harsh, so going anywhere over 40% can really mess your throat up even at lower temperatures.

Solid, classic, sleepy. Good stuff.

What can CBN do for a blend?
  • Heavy Sedation

  • Potentiation

  • Calming

  • Badder texture (when cold mixed with distillates)

  • Anxiety Relief ("taking the edge off")

Drops my heart rate like crazy. After dabbing a bit my heart rate dropped to 64 which is 13 beats low then my usual. After dabbing a bit more my heart rate dropped to 52. I felt dizzy and my limbs felt a bit numb.

Bro i was tripping on this, never would’ve expected cause apparently it’s a non-psychoactive. It was leading me to the same gnarly thing that normal THC forced upon me. I distracted myself with going outside to avoid what the ”trip” was leading me to. Nasty experience but i also took like 12-15 hits with no tolerance 🤷🏽‍♂️


PS, i am also on medications if that is relevant. Venlafaxine (antidepressant) and olanzapine (antipsychotics)

Olanzapine and Venlaxafine both make you drowsy and sedated so there is def synergy there. CBN is what THC oxidizes into naturally so it could be that maybe you somehow got a batch that haid a fair bit of thc still in it. Happened to me before with CBN destillate too. Cant happen with isolates I dont think.

CBN is one of my favourites of all time, because Im a heavy insomniac. I have some gummies which are 20mg CBD and 10mg CBN. I take two of those when I cant sleep and Im sleeping within an hour of ingesting. WOULD NOT RECCOMEND in the DAYTIME. It makes you sluggish and not caring. But when used at night its an absolute banger medicine. I prefer it to Zolpidem a lot of times. 8/10.
