Summary
CBL is a photodegradation product of cannabichromene (CBC), occurring naturally in aged or UV-exposed Cannabis. Human pharmacology remains almost completely unstudied; however, recent 2025 research revealed CBL has high affinity for the 5-HT1A serotonin receptor, acting as a potent positive allosteric modulator at low concentrations. A 1976 study in rabbits showed convulsions and death at 8 mg/kg, though this limited two-animal study offers minimal guidance for human safety.

Add to PsychonautWiki Journal
The PsychonautWiki Journal logging app doesn't include every substance. To track CBL there, start adding an ingestion, search for the name, and choose to add it as a custom substance. Paste these values:
CBL Source: SubstanceSearch (substancesearch.com) Oral dose: threshold Unknown · light Nodata Sublingual dose: threshold Unknown · light Nodata Inhaled dose: threshold Unknown · light Nodata Note: ranges are harm-reduction guidance, not a prescription. Start low, go slow, and test your substances.
The app keeps custom substances simple, so the full dose ranges live in the description text above. Ranges are harm-reduction guidance, not a prescription.
