CBN (cannabinol) is a mildly psychoactive cannabinoid that forms when THC ages and oxidizes. In beverages, it promotes relaxation and drowsiness without intense high feelings. CBN interacts with your endocannabinoid system differently than THC, targeting receptors associated with sleep and calm. It's often called the sleepy cannabinoid for its uniquely sedating properties compared to other hemp compounds.

Start with 5-10mg of CBN about 30-60 minutes before desired sleep time. This range provides noticeable relaxation without morning grogginess. If combining with THC, begin with 5mg CBN and 2mg THC. Some users need 15-20mg CBN for stronger effects. Individual response varies based on tolerance and sleep needs. Consistency matters more than high doses for establishing better sleep patterns.

While both promote sleep, CBN works through cannabinoid receptors while melatonin regulates circadian rhythms. CBN provides physical relaxation and mild psychoactivity, melatonin signals sleep timing. CBN may help you stay asleep longer, melatonin primarily helps falling asleep. Many drinks combine both for comprehensive sleep support. CBN offers cannabis-specific benefits melatonin doesn't provide.

CBN and THC work synergistically to enhance relaxation and sleep quality. Small amounts of THC amplify CBN's sedating effects through the entourage effect. Common ratios like 5:2 CBN:THC provide deep relaxation without overwhelming highs. This combination often works better than either cannabinoid alone, creating targeted nighttime formulas. The blend helps users fall asleep easier and stay asleep longer.

CBN drinks typically begin promoting relaxation within 20-30 minutes, with peak sedation around 45-90 minutes. The liquid format allows faster absorption than capsules or gummies. Effects build gradually, starting with physical calm before mental relaxation. Empty stomach consumption speeds onset. Time your CBN drink 30-60 minutes before bed for optimal results. Individual metabolism affects exact timing.

CBN effects generally last 4-6 hours, often supporting a full night's rest. The sedating properties help both falling asleep and staying asleep. Unlike some sleep aids, CBN doesn't typically cause morning grogginess when dosed appropriately. Higher doses may extend effects to 6-8 hours. Most users report improved sleep quality throughout the night rather than just initial drowsiness.

While CBD provides general calm without drowsiness, CBN specifically targets sleep and sedation. CBN has mild psychoactive properties that CBD lacks, creating subtle mental relaxation. CBN is ideal for nighttime use, while CBD works anytime. CBN drinks often feel heavier and more sedating, making them perfect for evening wind-down rather than daytime stress relief.

Never combine CBN drinks with prescription sleep medications or alcohol without doctor approval. Both combinations may cause dangerous oversedation, impaired coordination, or breathing issues. CBN drinks work best as standalone sleep support or alcohol alternatives. If you take sleep medications, consult your healthcare provider before trying CBN for potential interactions.

Zazzy curates various CBN drinks including bedtime teas, berry elixirs, calming tonics, shot formats, and sparkling waters. Many feature sleep-supporting flavors like chamomile, lavender, or cherry. Options include pure CBN drinks and combinations with THC, CBD, or melatonin. Formats range from ready-to-drink cans to concentrated tinctures you add to beverages. All selected for quality and effectiveness.

Hemp-derived CBN drinks are federally legal under the 2018 Farm Bill when properly formulated. However, state regulations vary, especially for products combining CBN with THC. Some states restrict all cannabinoid products regardless of type. Zazzy only ships to states where CBN products are permitted. Check our shipping page for availability in your area as laws evolve regularly.

Pure CBN may cause positive drug test results as some tests detect various cannabinoids beyond just THC. CBN drinks containing any THC will definitely trigger positive results. Even THC-free CBN products carry some risk since CBN comes from degraded THC. If subject to drug testing, avoid all cannabinoid products including CBN. Detection windows vary based on usage and metabolism.

Every CBN brand undergoes thorough quality verification including third-party lab testing for accurate cannabinoid profiles. We require COAs showing CBN potency, THC compliance, and absence of contaminants like pesticides or heavy metals. Our team evaluates extraction methods, personally tests effects, and monitors batch consistency.
