hey there in this quick guide I'll explain how THC naturally transforms into CBN and how you can speed up the process safely step one what is CBN cbn or cannabol is a mildly psychoactive cannabonoid formed when THC breaks down it has calming anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective effects step two THC degradation through oxidation when THC is exposed to air heat and light it oxidizes meaning it loses hydrogen atoms and becomes CBN this happens slowly in nature but we can accelerate it step three controlled conversion conditions temperature 70 to 110° C time 12 to 72 hours air oxygen is key for oxidation light can speed things up but also degrade other compounds step four two main methods method one natural aging store dry cannabis in a bright airy place at room temperature over time THC slowly degrades into CBN method two heat plus oxygen first decarb at 110° C for 60 to 90 minutes then leave the material exposed to air for a few days test with lab analysis like HLC if you want to track CBN levels step five why it matters cbn is great for sleep relaxation and pain relief without the high from THC mastering this transformation means better targeted extracts that's it now you know how THC turns into CBN like and follow for more quick cannabonoid breakdowns see you next time
