More effective than CBD and still legal – that’s HHC. Find out everything here about the new cannabinoid that takes the classic smoking experience to a new dimension.
What is HHC?
hexahydrocannabinol (HHC) is a cannabinoid that occurs naturally but only in very low concentration in hempseeds and pollen occurs. This is a THCderivative and is therefore very similar in effect to THC. HHC was in the 40s-Manufactured synthetically for the first time in the USA years ago, However, it was not used at the time and disappeared from the scene. Only since KThe cannabinoid is now commercially available.
digression:
- The hemp plant contains two species botanic family: cannabis and marijuana.
- Cannabinoids are molecules extracted from the plant whose therapeutic properties have been proven by numerous scientific studies in recent years.
- Each plant contains more than a hundred different cannabinoids, – the best known are THC, CBD and CBG.
By changing the chemical molecular structure, almost all cannabinoids can be converted into other cannabinoids. Commercial hexahydrocannabinol is made in a laboratory using chemical processes from CBD derived from hemp, just like delta-8-THC and delta-10-THC. This is a long and complex process known as isomerization. The end result is an HHC distillate. This distillate is, for example, sprayed onto industrial CBD hemp flowers (HHC flowers) or sold as HHC vape liquid and HHC vape oil.
Is HHC legal?
HHC flowers, oil or liquid contain less than 0,2% THC. The legally prescribed THC limit in Germany and the EU is a maximum of 0,2%. Since HHC is not considered a psychoactive substance, it is not subject to the Narcotics Act and is sold exclusively as flavoring and smoking products. However, you should not drive a car after taking it.
Can HHC be detected in drug tests?
Opinions are divided here. HHC has a similar chemical structure to THC
and is converted into many of the same compounds. Even if drug tests do not look for HHC but only THC substances, the user may test positive.
How strong is the effect of HHC and what are the benefits?
Hexahydrocannabinol is a THC derivative and is therefore very similar in effect to THC. The intoxicating feeling can be compared to that of THC, but the state does not last as long and makes you feel less groggy or sleepy. Many users describe it as the ideal way to relax after a long or stressful day. Other benefits that vary from user to user:
- Helps fall asleep
- Euphoric mood
- Stimulates appetite and digestion
HHC has only been on the market for a few years and there is not yet enough meaningful research available, so it is difficult to make concrete statements about its overall impact on the human organism. What is clear, however, is that HHC is psychoactive and, like any other psychoactive substance, can have effects such as:
- Physical and psychological relaxation
- hallucinations
- Altered perception of time
- Increased heart rate
- Mood swing
The difference between HHC flowers & CBD flowers
CBD is best known for its natural healing effects, which have health benefits, especially for pain management. However, unlike hexahydrocannabinol (HHC) and the illegal THC, cannabidiol (CBD) does not have any psychoactive effects when consumed. That's why CBD flowers and hemp flowers are particularly suitable as a carrier material for the synthetically obtained HHC.
The right temperature to vape HHC flowers
As already mentioned, HHC flowers are actually hemp CBD flowers onto which the HHC distillate has been added. Every user can find out the right temperature of HHC flowers after a few attempts and is usually based on personal reference. The community advises newcomers to use a temperature between 230° and 290° Celsius.
How do you store HHC?
In order to keep HHC flowers fresh for a long time, the flowers should always be stored dry and protected from light and air. This is best achieved with opaque and airtight packaging. The optimal storage temperature is approx. 18-20°C. HHC should always be kept out of the reach of children.
