Everyone knows CBD and THC, of course, but do you know about these other cannabinoids: CBN and its hydrogenated form H3CBN?
One is natural, the other semi-synthetic, and their effects are radically different. Want to find out more? Right here!
CBN is an unusual cannabinoid, not synthesized by hemp and cannabis like other cannabinoids. It is derived from the breakdown of THC. When THC is exposed to light (UV), heat and air, a chemical reaction takes place: decarboxylation. It is the chemical reaction produced by this decarboxylation of THC that synthesizes CBN.
CBN is therefore a totally natural molecule, but its natural content is around 1%. Synthesizing is necessary to reach higher concentrations, such as in our Hash 34% CBN.
H3CBN is a little like H4CBD in that both are cannabinoids to which hydrogen atoms have been added. The result is a more stable molecule, unlikely to change naturally like THC. This form stimulates the endocannabinoid system in a different way. Hydrogenation is the result of chemical manipulation of CBN in the laboratory. This makes H3CBN a semi-synthetic cannabinoid.
The effect of CBN is little different from that of CBD. Like CBD, it is non-psychoactive and does not appear to be addictive or habit-forming. On the other hand, it appears to have soothing and relaxing effects. Like THC, it also seems to stimulate the appetite and create a sensation of hunger.
It is also said to have a powerful sleep-inducing effect, helping to induce deep, restorative sleep, sometimes earning it the name "sleep cannabinoid".
The hydrogenated form of CBN has a radically different action. Unlike CBN, H3CBN seems to induce a feeling of wakefulness and increased energy. Consumers report improved concentration, accompanied by a kind of mental clarity.
If CBN is the cannabinoid of sleep, then H3CBN could be considered the cannabinoid of wakefulness. But H3CBN has been developed as an alternative to HHC and appears to be just as psychoactive as the latter, producing a high and a feeling of euphoria.
As mentioned above, the hydrogen molecules added to CBN change its action on the endocannabinoid system.
In fact, CBN is quite similar in structure to CBD, but their action is not the same. They both act on the CB2 receptor, but CBN also acts on the CB2 receptor, like THC, giving it a more effective sedative effect than CBD.
Conversely, H3CBN acts primarily on CB1 receptors, but also has an effect on CB2 receptors, giving it a soaring, relaxing effect.
As already mentioned, H3CBN and H4CBD are both hydrogenated forms. However, CBD and CBN are quite similar in their effects, which is no longer the case after hydrogenation.
Unlike H3CBN, H4CBD is deeply soothing and relaxing. It doesn't produce a euphoric effect, but a greater sense of release and carelessness. Likewise, H4CBD does not induce a high, nor does it appear to have any psychotropic effects.
In short, H4CBD resembles CBD, but in a more muscular version. H3CBN behaves in the opposite way, being developed to replace HHC, it would be closer to a sativa, if we had to find an example.
Whether you buy natural, synthetic or semi-synthetic cannabinoid flowers or resins from us, you are always sure to order the best quality legal.
All our products are carefully tested. We test an average of twenty batches before choosing a single product. We look for the prettiest flower and hash varieties, with the strongest taste and the lowest cost.
The legal status of the new CBD-derived cannabinoids will change from June 03, 2024. Today, H3CBN is illegal, and it is forbidden to sell, buy or possess it.
In fact, all the new compounds were available until the ANSM (Agence nationale de sécurité du médicament et des produits de santé) had thoroughly analyzed them. Following these analyses, the ANSM decided to definitively ban the compounds on the basis of their harmfulness or addictive effect.
CBD can be consumed in a variety of ways, and the consumer's choice will depend mainly on taste and the desired speed of effects. Vaporization is not a form of combustion, but a means of heating the CBD flower or resin. It's the heat that activates the [...]
CBN, H4CBD, H3CBN, THCP, HHCPO... new synthetic and semi-synthetic CBD derivatives are appearing at breakneck speed, so it's not always easy to know what you're dealing with. Need a quick rundown on all these products? Are you interested in how they are made and how they are used?
The supply of legal CBD is constantly evolving. Just a few weeks after the ban on HHC, new products have appeared on the shelves. THCP, THCV and the one we're going to talk about here: H4CBD. What's its history? What are its effects? What are the benefits and [...]
