CBN — cannabinol, not cannabidiol
Cannabinol (CBN) is a cannabinoid found in hemp, distinct from both CBD and CBG. The abbreviations trip people up — CBD is cannabidiol, CBN is cannabinol, CBG is cannabigerol. Three different molecules, three different compounds, each with its own chemical structure and its own place in the cannabinoid lineup.
CBN forms when THC degrades over time. Expose THC to heat, light or oxygen and it gradually converts to CBN. That’s why aged cannabis tends to contain higher levels of cannabinol — the THC has broken down. In commercial CBN production, this conversion is controlled and deliberate rather than left to chance.
EU Labs sells CBN oil in two THC-free options: CBN Oil 3000mg at 60 mg/mL and CBN Oil 12000mg at 240 mg/mL. Both use MCT coconut oil as the carrier, come in 50 mL glass dropper bottles, and follow the same GMP manufacturing process as the CBD and CBG lines.
How CBN is different from CBD
CBD is the most abundant cannabinoid in hemp and the one most people encounter first. CBN is a minor cannabinoid — present in much smaller quantities in the raw plant. Producing a concentrated CBN oil requires targeted extraction and processing to isolate cannabinol at commercially useful levels.
The two compounds have different origins within the plant. CBD comes from CBDA (cannabidiolic acid) through decarboxylation. CBN comes from THC degradation. Different biosynthetic pathways, different molecular structures. The research literature treats them as separate compounds, and their presence in hemp occurs through fundamentally different mechanisms.
From a product standpoint, the key practical difference is how people use them. CBD is the generalist — the cannabinoid people reach for across a range of daily routines. CBN has developed a more specific reputation as a popular choice for evening routines. Whether you use one, the other, or both depends entirely on your personal preference and how you structure your day.
Evening routines and CBN
CBN is commonly associated with evening use. Walk through any cannabinoid forum or retailer and you’ll see CBN marketed alongside phrases like “nighttime formula” or “evening blend”. The compound has become the go-to cannabinoid for people who want a dedicated product for the later part of their day.
How individuals incorporate CBN into an evening routine varies widely. Some take it thirty minutes before winding down. Others combine it with an existing nighttime ritual — reading, stretching, whatever that looks like. The specifics are personal. What’s consistent is the pattern: CBN shows up in evening contexts far more often than daytime ones.
EU Labs CBN Oil is THC-free across both concentrations. That’s a deliberate choice. Despite CBN’s origin as a THC degradation product, the finished EU Labs oil contains no THC. The lab report for each batch confirms this — you’ll see a non-detectable THC result alongside the verified CBN concentration.
THC-free status
The THC question matters for CBN more than most cannabinoids, precisely because of its chemical relationship to THC. CBN literally forms from THC breakdown. So people naturally ask: does CBN oil contain THC?
For EU Labs products, the answer is no. Both the 3000mg and 12000mg CBN oils are manufactured to be THC-free. The independent lab report for every batch confirms non-detectable THC levels. This makes CBN accessible to people who specifically want to avoid THC — whether for personal reasons, professional considerations, or simply preference.
Not every CBN product on the market is THC-free. Some contain trace amounts, similar to full spectrum CBD oils. If zero THC matters to you, check the lab report before buying — from any brand. The label claim is only as reliable as the lab certificate backing it up.
Concentration options
The EU Labs CBN range follows the same two-tier structure as the CBD and CBG lines. The 3000 mg bottle gives you 60 mg/mL — a practical starting point if CBN is new to you. The 12000 mg bottle delivers 240 mg/mL from the same 50 mL volume, which means fewer drops for the same milligram amount.
Both bottles use a glass dropper for measured dispensing. The carrier oil is MCT coconut oil — neutral taste, clean base, consistent across the entire EU Labs catalogue. Manufacturing follows EU GMP standards, and every batch goes through independent lab testing before it reaches the site.
You can mix CBN with other EU Labs products in a single order. Many customers order CBN alongside CBD or CBG oils — using different cannabinoids at different times of day is a common approach. Stillroot ships the full range to all Australian addresses with tracked delivery.
Where CBN fits in the cannabinoid range
The EU Labs catalogue spans three cannabinoids. CBD covers the broadest ground — four products across full spectrum and broad spectrum, two concentrations each. CBG serves the daytime routine crowd with two concentrations. CBN rounds out the range with its evening association and THC-free formulation.
Each cannabinoid is a standalone product. You don’t need CBD to use CBN, and you don’t need CBG to use either of the others. Some people use all three. Others pick one and stick with it. The range is designed to be modular — buy what fits your routine, skip what doesn’t.
Before adding CBN or any cannabinoid product to your routine, talk to a healthcare professional. This is standard advice across every product in the range, and it’s especially relevant if you’re already using other products that your practitioner should know about.
