Cannabinol (CBN) is a mildly psychoactive cannabinoid that binds to the cannabinoid receptors with more selectivity for CB2 over CB1 found in trace amounts from Cannabis. CBN is mostly found in cannabis that is aged and stored, and is derived from the plant's main psychoactive chemical, tetrahydrocannabinol (THC).

It was the first cannabis compound to be isolated from cannabis extract in the late 1800s. Its structure and chemical synthesis were achieved by 1940.

CHECK VALIDITY OF BELOW SECTION (DELETE?)

Section 301(ll) of the FD&C Act [21 U.S.C. § 331(ll)], states that it is illegal to sell food that contains CBN or other related cannabinoids derived from the Cannabis sativa L. plant. Additionally, under section 201(ff)(3)(B) of the FD&C Act [21 U.S.C. § 321(ff)(3)(B)], CBN and other cannabinoids derived from the Cannabis sativa L. plant are also not considered dietary supplements and thus are illegal to sell when advertised as dietary supplements.

NOTE TO SELF: Seems like its only illegal if it has over .3% THC or is advertised as a dietary supplement or some kind of treatment.

However, some foods containing hemp seed ingredients, such as hemp seed oil, can be sold legally in the United States as long as they follow FDA regulations. (Hemp seeds don't contain CBN so is this relevant?)

All of this falls under the 2018 Farm Bill
