Cannabinol is one of the medically relevant cannabinoids which is formed through the degradation of THC. Each cannabinoid forms byproducts that have regulate the high and medicinal value of each strain. Given that CBN is formed from the most abundant and relevant cannabinoid THC, there is more CBN in most modern strains than the products of the breaking down of the other cannabinoids.
High CBN strains of marijuana can easily impose a couch-lock scenario, and are often considered best at night. The sedative effect of CBN makes it a fantastic sleep aid that is non-habit forming. This can make for a very relaxing evening and many enjoy this in a medicinal strain since it is less psycho-active than a high THC strain. However, CBN has been known to have a confusing and heavy handed effect, so it is best to avoid this during the day time and at work.
Again CBN research is limited, with only a few studies having been done. It acts as a weak agonist of the CB1 receptor receptor and unlike THC and it's conjugates, has an affinity for the CB2 receptor. Research has linked the cannabinoid to bone growth, which leads many to speculate that it could be useful to help ward of osteoporosis. Barneys Farm grows highly potent THC strains, let them flower for longer than usual and the THC will be broken down into CBN. THC is the good stuff though.

It seems that many of the effect of cannabinoids help ward of symptoms of aging, which points to a link in between the endocannabinoid systems efficiency and the signs of aging. Perhaps having a relationship with cannabinoids can extend the lifespan of adults by increasing quality of life overall. While it is a somewhat bold statement to say that marijuana might help us live longer, it does help deal with many signs of aging and protects many parts of the body from eroding.
