While the cannabis plant has been consumed for over six thousand years, it has until recently been kept in exile from beneficial advances in genetics, biotechnology and the illuminating work of the world’s medical and scientific community. The five hundred and twelve known bio-active compounds in the plant include one hundred and twenty cannabinoids, chemical compounds that bind to receptors in our brain and immune system. While CBN was the first cannabinoid to be isolated at the end of the nineteenth century, cannabinoid research only began after Cannabidiol (CBD) was discovered in 1940 and gathered steam with the 1964 discovery of Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC).
