Consumers are now being introduced to a range of cannabis-infused edibles, most of which are made with well-known cannabinoids like THC and CBD, major constituents of the plant. Kiva Confections recently introduced its first-ever CBN-infused gummy in its Camino range. The Camino Midnight Blueberry product for sleep combines both THC and CBN—which is touted as an up-and-coming cannabinoid—plus other soothing ingredients like chamomile and lavender oils.
According to Kiva CEO and co-founder Scott Palmer, "CBN is a prevalent cannabinoid (similar to CBD) that has been linked with restful effects. We formulated a THC, CBN and terpene blend with functional ingredients added to offer our consumers our most calming product yet."
