HHC, or Hexahydrocannabinol, is a cannabinoid that is derived from hemp. This cannabinoid is still severely under-researched, but is gaining traction in the Cannabis industry. Though it is derived from hemp, for larger quantities it must be synthetically made by introducing Hydrogen molecules to THC. Because of this process, called Hydrogenation, HHC has a longer shelf life and is less susceptible to heat exposure. This means you have a little less to worry about when storing your HHC products. 

HHC, HHC-P, HXC, and HXC-P are all part of this category. HHC and HXC are the same, just with different names. 

HHC-P (Hexahydrocannabiphorol) is actually more similar to THC-P than HHC whereas its effects and potency are alike. HHC-P can also be written as HXC-P.

EFFECTS

The experience you can get from HHC and HHC-P is super similar to THC. You can expect mental euphoria, clarity, energy, and stimulating effects. Unlike THC, though, users have stated they don't experience the paranoia that comes with THC.

Users have also said that HHC is less potent than Delta 8, milligram-per-milligram, but certain extracts can be more potent than Delta 8. Confusing? It is, but keep in mind that every person reacts differently to different cannabinoids, products, or strains.

As new research develops, we will continue to keep you updated!

Why is HHC+ Legal?

Since HHC is a hemp-derived cannabinoid, it is federally legal under the 2018 Farm Bill. The Farm Bill legalizes hemp and hemp-derived compounds. The products also contain less than 0.3% Delta 9 THC.

Will I Pass a Drug Test?

There is some speculation and ongoing research on whether you can pass a drug test while using HHC products. According to some sources, though, HHC can potentially evade drug test results. Unfortunately, research is lacking with this cannabinoid, so don't let the "potential" for these products not showing up on a drug test hurt your job security.
