Cannabis sleep gummies may cause dependence in mice
University of Connecticut researchers report that repeated use of cannabis-derived CBN caused tolerance and withdrawal symptoms in mice.
New study warns of risks
Scientists from the University of Connecticut found that regular exposure to this compound led to physical dependence in test animals. The results were published in the November issue of Drug and Alcohol Dependence. Researchers say these findings suggest consumers should be aware of potential dangers associated with long-term use.
CBN compared to other compounds
Cannabinol is a naturally occurring substance found alongside THC and CBD in the cannabis plant. The new data indicates that CBN might carry risks similar to those linked with THC. Long-term effects on humans remain largely unknown at this time.
