Endocannabinoid Medicine: 11 Keys to Deeper Healing
Your body already carries the keys to healing. At the center of it all is the endocannabinoid system (ECS)—a hidden bridge between body, mind, and spirit that works quietly in the background to restore balance, ease pain, calm stress, and support resilience.

Overview - Cannabinol (CBN)
Description of Cannabinol (CBN)
Cannabinol (CBN) was discovered in 1896 (by Wood, Spivey, and Easterfield), and its chemical structure was reported in 1940 by Roger Adams.
Non-enzymatic oxidative degradation of THCA associated with exposure to oxygen or UV radiation converts THCA into cannabinolic acid (CBNA), CBN's acidic form and precursor. As cannabis ages, the carboxyl group is removed, leaving CBN in its place. Both CBNA and CBN are found naturally only in very low concentrations in the plant. According to a toxicometabolomic study, CBN concentration in cannabis leaves ranges between 0.1 and 1.6% (w/w of dry weight) (I. Chousidis et al., 2020)
By 2016 there were 13 members in the CBN group.
CBN Psychoactivity: A quick look at the receptor binding window shows that CBN binds to the same CB1 receptor sites (abundantly present in the brain) as THC but with a weaker affinity meaning that it can still induce changes in cognition and mood but only at about one-tenth of the strength of THC.
