What is HHC?

HHC stands for HexaHydroCannabinoid. It only exists in trace amounts in the Hemp plant and is, therefore, mostly synthetically created. As early as in 1947, the chemist Roger Adams created the cannabinoid HHC from natural THC, yet the Cannabinoid has only recently found popularity. HHC is available only at very selected CBD companies. The HHC experience definitely could be the “high”-light of your day. One could claim that out of all the isolated options, HHC is the most recreational.

What does HHC do to our Bodies?

This is a newly available cannabinoid that is storming the US market. It’s a semi-synthetic cannabinoid that exists in small amounts in nature but can be manufactured in a lab. Anecdotally, people who have used HHC products report that it has effects similar to Delta-9 THC. The molecule is actually very similar to Delta 9 THC, and its effects on the human body are also similar. HHC is digested in the same way that Delta 9 THC is, and it’s believed to be more potent than Delta 8 THC. Like Delta 9 THC, it bonds to the CB receptors to produce a pleasurable sensation throughout the mind and body. The effects of HHC are very close to those of Delta 9 THC. So, if you can’t buy Delta 9 THC where you live now, HHC is likely the closest alternative. This hemp-derived compound is a perfect step between Delta 8 and THC-O — stronger than D8 and less so than THC-O.

After you consume HHC, how long does it last in your body?

Is HHC Legal?

When comparing HHC and THC, the biggest difference is the legal status. Because THC is federally illegal and outlawed or only approved for medical use in many states, it can be difficult to buy safely. On the other hand, HHC is protected under the Farm Bill of 2018 because it’s derived from hemp with less than 0.3% THC. Leaves of Eden CBD even goes one step further and insists that every product we carry has a corresponding certificate of analysis. This means that you can trust that your HHC is safe when you buy it from Leaves of Eden CBD.

What’s the difference between HHC and Delta 9 THC?

HHC exists in nature in only the pollen and seeds. However, it can be created artificially in a lab by hydrogenating hemp-derived THC. Delta 9 THC, however, exists in abundance in the flowering buds of cannabis plants. There is believed to be a potential of greater bioavailability with HHC over THC. This means that more cannabinoid is filtered into your bloodstream and picked up by your endocannabinoid system. This means you can use less to get the same effects — however, it also means you should start with a lower dosage than you would normally use with Delta 8 or Delta 9. Try HHC today!
