CBN tinctures are a popular form of medical cannabis, taking advantage of cannabinoids such as CBD and CBN that attach to fat molecules in the body. Here are a few things you need to know about what is in them and how they work:
1) Cbn Was Never Meant to Be Used as Medicine
CBN, or cannabinol, is the result of CBD degrading over time. It was never meant to be consumed in large quantities because it is not as strong as THC for treating symptoms. So far, it has only been tested on animals, and there are no reports about how effective a CBN tincture is.
2)The Tinctures Are Potent Sedatives
Some people have found that taking extremely high doses of pure CBN can result in a very strong sedative effect. This only works when combined with THC, so smoking cannabis strain with eyedroppers of CBN is not possible yet. So far, there is no scientific evidence to support these claims, and this effect may only last for a short time before the body breaks it down.
3) CBN Can Help with Insomnia
Pure CBN extracts can be useful for people who have insomnia. Clinical studies had shown that taking high doses of CBN before bed helped promote sleep, but these results were not replicated when CBN was combined with THC.
4)The Tinctures Are Very Potent Anti-Inflammatories
One of the most interesting aspects of CBN is its anti-inflammatory properties. Clinical trials have found that an extract containing CBD and CBN was significantly more effective for reducing pain than other anti-inflammatory medications such as Ibuprofen. However, these results may not hold any weight for other types of pain or inflammation since the study only focused on people with menstrual cramps.
CBN tinctures are a valid form of medical cannabis as they contain CBD and THC to avoid producing potent sedatives. The combination of THC and CBN for treating inflammation and insomnia is promising, but further testing will need to be performed before individuals know if this is a viable treatment for these conditions.
