MCPN and MCPB: the two new cannabinoid blends

MCPN and MCPB are two acronyms: MCPN stands for Maximum Cannabinoids Power Natural and MCPB for Maximum Cannabinoids Power Boost. These two cannabinoid blends offer unique formulas, designed to unleash the power of cannabinoids through their entourage effect.

MCPN is formulated from natural cannabinoids, while MCPB is composed of the same cannabinoid mixture, to which 10-OH-HHC and 8-OH-HHC are added.

What is the composition of MCPN?

MCPN is a formula designed to mimic the effects of flowers containing cannabinoids such as H4CBD or H3CBN. It is classified as a natural cannabinoid blend, just like our THM.

MCP-N is composed of natural cannabinoid isolates. The main ones are:

• CBN (Cannabinol): Known for its sedative and relaxing properties, CBN is said to promote sleep and help reduce anxiety.
• CBC (Cannabichromene): This cannabinoid is said to help improve mood, has anti-inflammatory properties, and may help alleviate pain.
• CBG (Cannabigerol) : Often called the “mother cannabinoid”, CBG is known for its anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective effects, as well as its potential antibacterial properties.
• CBD (Cannabidiol): CBD is renowned for its anti-anxiety, anti-inflammatory effects and its therapeutic potential in various medical conditions.

The synergy between these cannabinoids, known as the “entourage effect”, amplifies the beneficial effects of each, thus offering a more complete and effective relaxation experience.

What is the composition of MCPB?

The composition of MCPB is quite similar to MCPN, but there is one key difference that drastically increases the compound's potency: the presence of 10-OH-HHC and 8-OH-HHC. These two synthetic molecules contribute to the entourage effect produced by CBD, CBC, CBG, and CBN, thus giving the mixture greater potency. MCPB was reportedly formulated as an extra one for THCP or HHCPO.

10 -OH-HHC and 8-OH-HHC are two metabolites of HHC (hexahydrocannabinol). They are byproducts created by the oxidation of HHC when it is processed by cytochrome P450 enzymes in the liver.

Discovered in the 1980s, 10-OH-HHC and 8-OH-HHC were not fully isolated until 2015. But the two molecules were not really present on the market before the ban in June 2024.

 

Is MCPN psychoactive? What are its effects?

MCPN has no psychoactive effects. It does not cause significant alterations in consciousness, nor does it produce an intense euphoric effect. The combination of compounds present in MCPN and the resulting entourage effect generally induces a feeling of well-being and deeper relaxation than that of CBD alone.

Depending on the dosage and individual sensitivity, MCPN can also induce mild euphoria. The effects of MCPN are similar to those of a highly concentrated, full-spectrum CBD. This means that, in addition to its recreational effects, it may also have antidepressant properties and have a beneficial effect on sleep, muscle recovery, and pain relief.

Is MCPB psychoactive? What are its effects?

Unlike MCPN,MCPB is specifically formulated to create enhanced psychoactive effects. These two synthetic metabolites increase the product's affinity for the CB1 and CB2 receptors of the endocannabinoid system, producing intense psychoactive effects comparable to those of THC.

Thanks to its common base with MCPN, MCPB could possess roughly similar effects such as deep relaxation, a feeling of elevation, restful sleep and pain relief.

However, specific research on the interactions of 10-OH-HHC and 8-OH-HHC with other cannabinoids is still very limited. Therefore, we advise you to start with low doses and gradually adjust them according to your personal tolerance.

Possible side effects of MCPB and MCPN

As you know, consuming CBD products can carry certain risks, but some molecules are riskier than others. This is particularly true of MCPB. With its formula enriched with 8-OH-HHC and 10-OH-HHC, MCPB is capable of producing a psychoactive effect. Like all cannabinoids in this category, overconsumption or inappropriate use can potentially lead to:

• Excessive drowsiness
• Headaches
• Dizziness or lightheadedness
• Nausea

Although rare, these effects can occur in cases of overdose or in sensitive individuals. It is therefore essential to consume MCPB in moderation.

Regarding MCPN, its all-natural composition gives it a more reliable safety profile. Nevertheless, it too can cause undesirable side effects similar to those of CBD. We therefore advise you to follow the same precautions.

 

MCPN vs MCPB: summary of differences

To better understand the properties of Maximum Cannabinoids Power Natural (MCPN) and Maximum Cannabinoids Power Boost (MCPB), here is a summary table of the differences between the two.

Criteria	MCPN (Maximum Cannabinoids Power Natural)	MCPB (Maximum Cannabinoids Power Boost)
Composition	Natural canbinoids: CBN, CBC, CBG, CBD	Same base as MCPN + 10-OH-HHC and 8-OH-HHC
Psychoactivity	No	Possible
Potential effects	Similar to a highly concentrated full-spectrum CBD	Deep relaxation, euphoric effect
Comparable to	H4CBD and H3CBN	THCP and HHCPO
Security Profile	Less risky (100% natural composition)	Higher risk (psychoactive effect)

Is the MCPN legal?

Currently, no law prohibits or restricts the creation of products from mixtures of natural and synthetic cannabinoids. Products based on MCPN and MCPB are completely legal as long as they contain less than 0.3% THC and do not contain any previously prohibited substances.

You can therefore purchase MCPN freely; however, we remind you that, like CBD, smoking MCPN and MCPB flowers and resins. For an optimal consumption experience, we recommend using a vaporizer, which allows you to enjoy all the benefits of CBD without the dangers associated with combustion.

MCPN and MCPB: What product ranges are available?

MCPN and MCPB are cannabinoid mixtures composed from isolates, they can come in a multitude of forms, such as:

• Flowers and resins infused with MCPN or MCPB
• MCPN or MCPB oils
• E-liquids.

Currently, to our knowledge, there are no cosmetic or topical products containing MCPN or MCPB, nor any edible products such as capsules or gummies containing MCPN. However, if demand for this molecule continues to grow, we are confident that such products will exist in the future.

What are consumer opinions on MCPN?

Consumer feedback on MCPN is generally quite positive. Most note that it effectively replaces previously banned molecules, such as H4CBD and H3CBN for MCPN , or THCP and HHCPO for MCPB. However, both products, while gaining recognition, experience relatively limited sales, which restricts the number of reviews available to us.

 

If you wish to test one or the other molecule to form your own opinion, we advise you to obtain them from a trusted CBD shop and to be careful to avoid any overconsumption.

Where to obtain MCPB and MCPN

These two products, still relatively new, are gaining popularity every day. You might be able to find MCPN or MCPB in some physical CBD shops in major cities like Paris, Lyon, or Toulouse. Unfortunately, we don't know the addresses.

 

You can also purchase it from certain online CBD shops; some of these sites are well-known. Currently, we don't sell MCPN or MCPB on CBDOO, but if you're interested in this type of product, please let us know!
