Cannabinol (CBN)

In a sentence. A mildly intoxicating cannabinoid formed as THC ages and oxidises.

CBN is largely a degradation product of THC rather than a primary cannabinoid, so it builds up in older or heat- and light-exposed material. It is widely marketed for sleep, though clinical evidence is still thin.
