So… What Is CBN?

Everyone knows THC and CBD. But what is CBN (cannabinol)? Most people have never even heard of it.

CBN is a substance derived from the cannabis plant, naturally formed as THC oxidizes and breaks down. It's not synthetic. It's not lab-made. It's a genuine cannabinoid extracted from a real plant. And of course — it's 100% legal in Japan.

If you're a THC smoker, you're going to love CBN cookies — because you can feel effects similar to THC.

What Effects Do the Cookies Give You?

CBN cookies deliver effects nearly identical to real THC indica edibles.

Effects take about 45–60 minutes to kick in. But once they do, they last a long time. That slow onset is what makes edibles great.

First, you feel euphoria and a body high.

Then comes the munchies, a brain high, audio enhancement, and the giggles.

For your first time, start with a quarter. Seriously. It takes time to kick in. Don't eat more thinking "nothing's happening." Just wait.

Why Cookies Work — and Vapes and Gummies Don't.

CBN is fat-soluble. That means it needs fats — butter, coconut oil, cocoa butter — to be properly absorbed by your body.

When you eat a CBN cookie made with real butter, the CBN dissolves into the fat. Your gut absorbs that fat, and the CBN enters your bloodstream through the lipid absorption pathway. Then your liver converts it. This is what creates that full-body effect.

Butter is the key. That's why cookies work.

Most Shops Sell 420mg. We Sell 1000mg. For a Reason.

Walk into any CBD shop in Tokyo. Look at their CBN cookies. Almost every single one has 420mg of CBN. If you're a real smoker, that won't satisfy you.

YANAGI cookies contain 1000mg of CBN per cookie. We're for those who want the real thing — that's why we sell 1000mg.

Watch Out. Japan Is Full of Fakes.

Real talk — walk around Tokyo and you'll see "CBN joints" and CBN vape liquids everywhere. Many shops claim they'll get you high, but they absolutely won't. All flower is illegal in Japan, so joints are made from tea leaves.

There's also tons of synthetic chemical liquids out there. But none of them come close to the effect of CBN cookies.

Japan keeps banning these synthetics one by one. HHC was banned in 2022. THCH was banned in 2023.

CBN is NOT synthetic. It's extracted directly from the plant.

Most of those "joints" and "liquids" you see are lab-made compounds that change names every time one gets banned.

We Get It. That's Why We're Different.

YANAGI isn't one of those "wellness" CBD shops trying to sell you overpriced oils alongside yoga mats.
