What Are CBN Gummies? Benefits, Uses, and More
Cannabinol or CBN gummies are the latest in the lineup of cannabis edible offerings that are catered to supporting restful sleep. Like CBD, CBN is a cannabinoid that comes from hemp, but its unique molecular shape may lend itself to slightly different effects on the body.
Let’s explore the details of CBN gummies, including what they are made of, their benefits, and how they could fit into your everyday wellness routine.
What Are CBN Gummies?
Our CBN gummies are gummy candies infused with CBN extract. CBN or “cannabinoidal” is a minor cannabinoid (sometimes referred to as the “sleep” cannabinoid) found in the cannabis plant. CBN gummies are made by combining CBN extract with other ingredients like CBD, THC, and natural ingredients to create a convenient, tasty way to consume the cannabinoid.
How Are CBN Gummies Made?
All CBN gummies begin with CBN extract which is obtained from hemp through a process that involves the degradation of THC.
As hemp is exposed to heat, light, or oxygen, the THC naturally breaks down into CBN. CBN is extracted in a production facility and then carefully infused into a gummy mixture.
Gummy formulas typically include fruit flavors, plant-based active ingredients, and natural sweeteners. After the mixture is prepared, it’s poured into molds, cooled, and cut into bite-sized pieces.
Why Are CBN Gummies Popular?
With so many people looking for new ways to relax and unwind naturally, CBN gummies are quickly becoming the holy grail for a calm evening routine. They're easy to consume, come in various flavors, and offer a consistent dose of CBN.
CBN gummies also tend to provide longer-lasting effects compared to other forms like tinctures and vapes.
While CBN gummies are typically marketed as” sleep aids,” it’s important to understand that CBN is not a guaranteed sleep solution, and research is still being carried out on the cannabinoid.
How Do CBN Gummies Work?
When you take a CBN gummy, your body absorbs the cannabinoid through digestion, allowing it to interact with the body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS). The ECS is a complex system that helps regulate sleep, mood, and stress, among other functions. When you consume a gummy, the CBN binds to receptors in the ECS that help promote relaxation and support a sense of calm.
CBN gummies are ideal for those looking for long-lasting effects that gently ease them into a relaxed state. Because gummies have to be digested and metabolized, the effects gradually unfold over a longer period of time.
If you’ve tried CBD or THC gummies, you might be wondering how CBN gummies stack up. Here’s a quick comparison:
- CBN Gummies are great for relaxation and potential sleep support, without the psychoactive effects of THC. They are best taken in the evening as users have reported drowsiness as a possible side effect.
- CBD Gummies are commonly used for stress relief and general wellness. CBD gummies have been known to support relaxation and can be taken during the day or in the evening.
- THC Gummies are ideal for those seeking a psychoactive high. Depending on the desired dosage, THC gummies can either be taken to support daily activities or to reach a euphoric buzz.
What Are the Benefits of CBN Gummies?
While research on CBN is still ongoing, many users turn to CBN gummies for the following potential benefits:
- Relaxation and Stress Relief
CBN has been associated with a calming effect, which can help ease tension and support relaxation. This makes CBN gummies a great choice for unwinding after a stressful day or as part of a nightly wind-down routine.
- Potential Sleep Support
One of the most popular reasons people seek out CBN gummies is for sleep support. CBN, when combined with other cannabinoids, is showing promise as a sleep aid because it supports deeper and longer REM sleep with fewer sleep disturbances through the night [1, 2]. Many users report feeling more relaxed and calm after taking a gummy in the evening. Despite the many personal accounts of using CBN gummies to get a good night’s sleep, there aren’t any substantial clinical studies to directly link CBN with sleep.
- Non-Psychoactive Effects
Unlike THC, CBN does not get you high. This makes CBN gummies an excellent option for those seeking the soothing benefits of cannabinoids without any mental fog or intoxication.
Are CBN Gummies Safe to Use?
CBN is considered safe and well-tolerated, with some users reporting mild side effects like drowsiness or dry mouth. As with any cannabis product, it’s a good idea to start with a lower dose and see how your body responds. While taking more than one gummy can be tempting, it’s important to remember that it takes 30 minutes to 2 hours to metabolize a gummy. At very high doses, CBN might have some mild psychoactive effects, but this is rare.
Please note, if you’re taking medication or have underlying health conditions, it’s always a good idea to consult with a healthcare provider before trying CBN gummies.
