CBN edibles work by interacting with the body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS), a complex network of receptors, enzymes, and molecules that help regulate functions like sleep, mood, pain, and appetite. When you consume a CBN edible, it is digested and metabolized in the liver, converting CBN into a form that can interact with the ECS.
CBN primarily binds with CB2 receptors, which are abundant in the immune system and peripheral nervous system. This interaction is believed to promote a sense of relaxation and calm, often associated with sleep support. Since CBN edibles are ingested, it can take 30 minutes to 2 hours for the effects to be felt, depending on factors like metabolism, dosage, and individual tolerance.
The slower onset is balanced by the longer-lasting effects, making edibles a preferred option for those seeking extended relief or relaxation.
