As the cannabis market has been on the verge for the past few years, we see every day new cannabinoid enters the cannabis space. Among some of the novel cannabinoids, HHC stirred the cannabis enthusiast’s interest.
Moreover, Anecdotal evidence suggests that despite having a similar effect to THC, it doesn’t show up on standard drug tests, which is one of the reasons it’s a hit.
And above all, HHC is the most stable cannabinoid resistant to oxidation, heat, and UV radiation. You won’t have to care as much about your supply decaying and losing its potency.
We’ll discuss different HHC-consuming methods in this blog post, so let’s get to it!
What is HHC?
Hexahydrocannabinol-HHC, is a hydrogenated form of THC. And if you ask what hydrogenation is, it is a method of adding a hydrogen atom to a chemical bond, which is what we do to transform vegetable oil into margarine.
Moreover, HHC is typically prevalent in hemp in trace concentrations. To generate the right amount of THC, a complicated process involving high pressure, a catalyst, either nickel or palladium, is utilized to permeate it with hydrogen atoms.
During the hydrogenation process, hydrogen atoms destroy and substitute the double bond in THC’s chemical structure with hydrogen, but the cannabinoid’s characteristics and effectiveness are essentially unaffected.
What are the Effects of HHC?
Despite the fact that all cannabinoids have a basic structure, it’s amazing how differently each one affects your body due to the Chemical bonding.
It is worth mentioning that Double bonds exist in Delta-8 and Delta-9 but not in HHC. People have also observed how the duration of effects varies between a THC high and an HHC high. Many claims that the impact of HHC last up to two hours longer than those of THC.
However, the effects and longevity of hhc gras from individual to individual, just like THC. While you might only feel the effects for two and a half hours, your colleague might experience them for almost four hours.
