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.

When buying, 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. It can be quite harsh, so going anywhere over 40% can really mess your throat up even at lower temperatures. I've experienced that firsthand with my "Eepy Time" blend which I had to reblend into something else because it was simply too harsh to enjoy.

​

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")
