HHC (Hexahydrocannabinol)

HHC explained

HHC, full name hexahydrocannabinol, has been attracting attention as a dietary supplement since the end of 2021. This cannabinoid would have therapeutic effects on our body that are comparable to that of THC. You might even experience a mild euphoric effect from it.

As early as 1944, HHC was discovered and first synthesized by the American chemist Roger Adams. After being discovered by Roger Adams, not much attention was paid to HHC for decades. Now that cannabis is gaining popularity again, more and more substances are being (re)discovered that can be of valuable significance for our well-being.

HHC is present in very low amounts in cannabis flowers, where cannabinoids such as CBD and THC are also found. However, Adams found that when he added hydrogen to a THC molecule, it took the form of HHC. Adding hydrogen to a carbon-rich molecule is called “hydrogenation” or “hydrogenation.” This 'hardening' of a molecule is a chemical process that is also used, for example, in making margarine from vegetable oils. And it can also be applied to cannabis.

Difference with THC

Chemically, HHC and THC are different in composition. Where (delta 9) THC breaks down to CBN (cannabinol) in drought/heat, HHC is more stable than THC. This is because (delta 9) THC has a double bond at the 9th carbon atom, while HHC lacks it. HHC also has a strong binding to both the CB1 and CB2 receptor. Although relatively little is known about the exact effect of HHC, users report effects that are comparable to those of THC.
