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.

ACS offers a 3-5 day turnaround time for most tests. Beverage Testing and National Panel Testing require some more time because of the complexity of the test. Please contact us for additional information.

Cannabis and hemp testing typically require 1—to 17-gram sample sizes, depending on the panel and product type. Request a call back for specific questions and pricing.

ACS tests cannabis and hemp products using various quantitative ​testing measures and analytical instruments, including high-performance liquid chromatography with ultraviolet detection (HPLC/UV), gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) to detect contaminants like solvents and pesticides, and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP/MS) for cannabis heavy metals testing. ACS also uses Liquid Chromatography and Mass Spectrometry (LCMS) to test for the potency of cannabinoids to the billionth decimal point!
