My Opinion
CBN is a very good but one-note cnoid. For any sleep or relaxation blend, I consider CBN a must, but outside of those 2 scenarios I almost never use CBN. For any daytime blend, always avoid CBN. Another flaw CBN 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 CBN and CBNo, you will get put to sleep by the CBN but KEPT asleep by the CBNo. When buying CBN, I almost always elect to get HHC/CBN instead as it is much cheaper and I'm not making any blends that are 40%+ CBN anyway.
Solid, classic, sleepy. Good stuff.
