  3. CBN, CBD, and THC: What They Are and How They Affect You

If you've ever scanned a cannabis label and wondered what all those abbreviations mean—THC, CBD, CBN—you're not alone. These are all cannabinoids, and while they come from the same plant, they each affect your body and mind in different ways.

At Cannavine, we carry products that highlight each of these compounds—whether you're looking to relax, stay clear-headed, or catch some sleep. Here's a breakdown of what each one does and how to choose the right one for you.

THC: The One That Gets You High

Let’s start with the most well-known: THC (tetrahydrocannabinol). This is the primary psychoactive compound in cannabis—it’s what gives you that “high” feeling.

What THC does:

  • Boosts mood
  • Increases appetite
  • Alters perception
  • Can help with pain and stress relief

Most products at Cannavine contain some amount of THC—especially if you’re shopping for vapes, flower, edibles, or concentrates. If you’re looking for that classic cannabis experience, THC is your go-to.

CBD: Calm Without the High

CBD (cannabidiol) doesn’t get you high, but it’s gained a huge following for its calming and anti-inflammatory effects. A lot of people turn to CBD for stress, anxiety, or body recovery—without the mental fog or couch-lock.

What CBD does:

  • Helps manage anxiety or stress
  • May reduce inflammation and pain
  • Can promote a relaxed, focused state

We carry a range of CBD-rich tinctures, capsules, and ratios like 1:1 THC:CBD products, so you can find the balance that works best for you.

CBN: The Sleepy Cannabinoid

CBN (cannabinol) is lesser known but gaining popularity—especially for its potential to support better sleep. It forms as THC ages, and while it's only mildly psychoactive, it’s often described as calming and sedating.

What CBN does:

  • May promote restful sleep
  • Can support relaxation at night
  • Often used in nighttime edibles, vape pens, or CBN-specific blends

CBN Products we carry:

Wyld Elderberry 2:1 THC:CBN gummies

Wyld Boysenberry 1:1:1 THC:CBN:CBD gummies

Petra Blackberry 2:1 CBN mints

These are great examples of how CBN is being used to support better sleep and relaxation—all available now at Cannavine.

Finding Your Perfect Cannabinoid Mix

Most cannabis products you’ll find in-store or online feature combinations of these compounds—like a vape with both THC and CBN, or a gummy that balances THC and CBD. The key is figuring out what kind of experience you're looking for:

Get high, feel good: THC-dominant vape or edible

Relax without the high: CBD tincture or 1:1 product

Fall asleep easier: CBN product or nighttime gummy
