Explore HHC (Hexahydrocannabinol): THC's Lesser Known Cousin
A Unique Cannabinoid
HHC, or Hexahydrocannabinol, is a lesser-known cannabinoid closely related to THC. Although it occurs naturally in cannabis, its historical scarcity has made its extraction difficult. Recent advances in commercial production have brought HHC into the spotlight.
Creation of the HHC: Roger Adams Investigation in the 1940s
Production process
Discovered by chemist Roger Adams in the 1940s, HHC is synthesized through a
process known as hydrogenation. This modification reinforces stability, increases
resistance to environmental factors and extending the useful life of the product.
Clarify the HHC Experience: Similarities to THC
Effects and Use
Although not technically THC, HHC can induce comparable effects. Available commercial HHC mixes active and inactive molecules, making potency somewhat unpredictable. Users compare the HHC "trip" to a fusion of delta 8 and delta 9 THC.
Use of HHC: Potential Effects and Considerations
Potential Side Effects
Evidence suggests potential side effects similar to those of delta 9 THC, including anxiety, dry mouth, red eyes, increased appetite and possible sleep disturbances.
HHC and Drug Testing: What You Need to Know
Drug Testing Considerations
There are indications that HHC may not metabolize into the substance normally detected in drug tests. However, additional research is needed to confirm. To exercise caution, individuals subject to drug testing should exercise caution when using HHC.
Promising Signs: Emerging Therapeutic Potential of HHC
Medical Potential
Although HHC has not been subjected to the same level of extensive research as other cannabinoids, there are encouraging indications. Studies suggest potential benefits in inhibiting the growth of cancer cells and blocking pain receptors.
