Cannabinol


 * Not to be confused with Cannabidiol, a cannabinoid that is less psychoactive and which is sometimes erroneously called/pronounced 'Cannabinol'.

Cannabinol (CBN) is a psychoactive substance cannabinoid found in Cannabis sativa and Cannabis indica/afghanica. It is also a metabolite of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). CBN acts as a weak agonist of the CB1 and CB2 receptors, with lower affinity in comparison to THC.
