While this compound isn’t popular among the masses due to its lower potency, it also offers several health benefits. The primary characteristic of CBN is its sedative effect you experience after consumption. Due to this reason, it is a popular type of medication for those suffering from insomnia.
People also prefer CBN because of its pain-relieving properties. Although it doesn’t behave the same way as THC or Cannabidiol (CBD), it still helps alleviate different types of aches. CBN is also popular among people who are looking for a way to increase their appetite. This compound can help in food consumption, without the intoxicating effects of THC.
