The chemical compounds of medical marijuana
The Cannabis plant contains many chemical compounds. The two most frequently talked about are called Cannabidiol (CBD) and Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). CBD is non-psychoactive while THC does produce a “high” feeling.
There is also another chemical compound produced from the Cannabis plant called Cannabinol (CBN). CBN is is made when the flower of the Cannabis plant has been aged an dried. Scientists are finding that it’s medicinal benefits include anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and pain relief. It is also believed to be sedating which can help with insomnia. Unlike THC, CBN does not cause any intoxicating effects This is great for those who need a clear mind during the day.

I am definitely excited about the growth of these chemicals to do good. I’m interested in learning more about CBN. I do need to be careful with THC because the high can make me shaky on my feet and cause falls. But I have no doubt all of these products can help people.
