CBG and CBN both come up in the same conversations. CBG: CBG (cannabigerol) is a non-intoxicating phytocannabinoid found in the cannabis plant, often called the mother cannabinoid because its acidic form is the precursor from which other major cannabinoids are made. CBN: CBN (cannabinol) is a mildly psychoactive phytocannabinoid that forms mainly when the THC in cannabis breaks down through exposure to heat, air, and light.
CBG (cannabigerol) is a non-intoxicating phytocannabinoid found in the cannabis plant, often called the mother cannabinoid because its acidic form is the precursor from which other major cannabinoids are made. It usually occurs in only small amounts in mature plants and is the subject of early-stage research into anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and other effects. Unlike THC, it does not produce a high.
CBN (cannabinol) is a mildly psychoactive phytocannabinoid that forms mainly when the THC in cannabis breaks down through exposure to heat, air, and light. It was the first cannabinoid to be isolated from the plant, in the late nineteenth century, and it binds only weakly to the cannabinoid receptors, so it delivers gentle, calming effects with very little intoxication. It has become one of the most popular nighttime cannabinoids, valued for winding down and sleep support, and is now the focus of dedicated clinical sleep research.
both fingerprints on one instrument; where the marks line up the two compounds work the same lever, where a slot goes dark only one of them touches it. read straight from each entry's affinity table; nothing here is invented.

strengths are the entries' qualitative ratings (strong / moderate / weak); Ki and EC50 figures appear where an entry records them.
easiest to source: CBN is currently listed by more trusted vendors (1), so it's the simpler one to get hold of. for effects and safety, read each full entry; this is educational, not medical advice.
