CBN is very similar to CBD in its chemical structure and therapeutic profile. Still, it has essential distinctions in how it occurs and its potential for mild psychoactive effects.

‍

• CBN primarily forms as THC ages, resulting in mild psychoactive effects, unlike CBD, which is non-psychoactive.
• CBN binds weakly to CB1 receptors, contributing to its sedative properties and making it potentially useful for sleep disorders. CBD does not bind with CB1 receptors.

‍

Both cannabinoids show anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects, but CBN has unique antibacterial properties and may stimulate appetite. CBD, on the other hand, is more widely researched for anxiety, epilepsy, and neuroprotection, highlighting its broader therapeutic potential.

White Maeng Da, one of the most potent kratom strains, can only be detected in tests specifically designed to identify the plant’s alkaloids (mitragynine and 7-hydroxymitragynine). It is not detectable in routine drug screenings.

After submitting your first samples to ACS Laboratory, expect to receive results via email within three to five business days of sample receipt. Each product’s results come with a Certificate of Analysis (COA) in PDF form, which includes detailed testing results on potency and contaminants. For greater accessibility, ACS Laboratory also stores these COAs in the Mahi portal, a secure online platform where you can view and download COAs anytime. Each COA is linked to a unique QR code that you can display on product labels or websites. This enables customers to scan and instantly access test details and critical results.

ACS offers a fast turnaround time of three to five business days for all test results.

Cannabis and hemp testing typically require 1—to 17-gram sample sizes, depending on the panel and product type.
