What is HHC?
A new cannabinoid is beginning to invade the market: Hexahydrocannabinol. Today we'll talk about: What is HHC? What are its effects? What is it used for? You're probably already familiar with CBD and THC or THCV, which are the most well-known compounds in cannabis, but they're not the only ones.
We've also talked about CBG, CBN, and other compounds on previous occasions, but now it's HHC's turn. So we invite you to discover all the details about this cannabinoid found in cannabis plants, which until now hasn't been as widely known.
HHC is a very close relative of the well-known THC and is actually considered a minor cannabinoid. It occurs naturally in cannabis plants, but in very small concentrations, making extraction difficult.
How do you get HHC?
- This cannabinoid is obtained in the same way as the rest, that is, for its extraction it is necessary to alter the molecular chemistry of other cannabinoids that are present in greater proportion.
- HHC manufacturers typically employ the hydrogenation process pioneered by Adams, which involves mixing a cannabinoid-rich marijuana extract with hydrogen gas in a pressurized container.
- The way to enhance and speed up this hydrogenation process is by using catalysts, as these allow the chemical reaction between cannabinoids and hydrogen gas to be more effective.
Effects produced by HHC or Hexahydrocannabinol
Euphoric feeling
- Mood swings
- Increased appetite.
- Increased sensory pleasure
Do you feel a rush?
The answer to this is “Yes”, depending on its concentration it can lead to a high similar to that caused by THC, but unlike this it tends to cause a sedative and relaxing effect.
It can produce mild to moderate euphoria and in some cases generates: visual impairment, cognitive impairment, physical sensations
Since we're not sure what effects it may have on different organisms, it's best to be cautious to avoid overpowering or unpleasant effects. To do this, you should test the correct dose, that is, the one your body adapts to without causing too many disturbances.
Legality of HHC
Well, it's worth noting that HHC has a significant legal advantage over other derivatives such as Delta 8 and Delta 10: it has very little THC, which is what allows its legal sale. The new cannabinoid is obtained from the delta-8-THC present in hemp flowers and has no THC content. It's important to remember that in our country, the sale of cannabis sativa L products with less than 0.2% of THC is legal. Therefore, it is completely legal to buy HHC-based products. However, for the sake of clarification, we want to clarify that we do not promote the use of illegal or harmful substances on our website.
