11-Hydroxycannabinol (11-OH-CBN) is the main active metabolite of
cannabinol (CBN), one of the active components of
cannabis,[1] and has also been isolated from cannabis itself.[2] It is more potent than CBN itself, acting as an agonist of CB1 with around the same potency as
THC, but is a weak antagonist at CB2.[3][4]
