HHC, The New Cannabinoid on the Block.
Just when you’re beginning to wrap your brain around the different varieties of THC (Delta 8, Delta 9, and so forth), along comes the new kid on the block, HHC. You’ll love this mind-bender. Like other THC variants, HHC is a powerful psychotropic derived from hemp cannabis. Where THC is there from the get-go, HHC requires a nudge from science to create a whole new buzz.
A Little Science About HHC
THC stands for tetrahydrocannabinol, whereas HHC stands for hexahydrocannabinol. For those of you who didn’t take organic chemistry, the prefix “tetra” means four and “hexa” means six. Since “hydro” means hydrogen in a chemical compound, it should be relatively easy to see that HHC has six hydrogen atoms, rather than the four of THC. “But how did they get there, and what does that mean for my buzz?” We’re glad you asked!
Although there are some HHC precursors normally present in regular hemp cannabis, they are in very small amounts. HHC is made by a process called hydrogenation, which saturates regular THC with hydrogen in such a way that two extra molecules get friendly with the THC molecule—kind of romantic when you think about it. The resulting HHC is psychotropic (i.e. it gets you buzzed) in a similar, but slightly different way than plain old THC and its normal variants. And who doesn’t groove on a new buzz? That’s scientifically speaking, of course.
There: That’s the science, and it didn’t hurt, did it? Let us now doff the lab coats and eyewear and answer some common questions about HHC.
HHC FAQs
Is HHC Legal?
HHC is federally legal under the Farm Act of 2018, which legalized hemp cannabis and hemp-derived cannabinoids, there are still differences in its legal status from state to state. So, while Fusion Hippie prides ourselves to keep on top of the legal status of all our products, we encourage you to get hip to your state and local laws regarding cannabis products because regulations are ever evolving.
What Are the Benefits of HHC?
Even though HHC isn’t considered one of the so-called “health and wellness cannabinoids” (like CBD), HHC fans do enjoy it for relaxation or when they have trouble sleeping, and mood boosting effects. More than the documented medical benefits, HHC lovers rage about the buzz.
Can HHC Show Up on a Drug Test?
The answer here is one no one likes to hear, “It depends.” In a world where sometimes your job or other vital life tasks can depend on your ability to pee into a bottle, knowing for sure that you’ll test clean is a good thing. And, regardless of its legality, HHC metabolizes into some of the same compounds as THC variants, and may show up on a drug test, because drug tests aren’t (yet) smart enough to recognize anything other than the signs that your body has metabolized some THC or something that closely resembles THC. How long HHC is detectable depends on several factors: how regularly you indulge, how much you dose, and what kind of test it is. One key thing to remember is that HHC, like THC, can be stored in fat cells, so the more you indulge, the longer it can take to clear the HHC out of your system.
Is HHC Safe?
Even though it was first isolated and synthesized back in the 1940s, there’s really not a huge body of research on the books, as is common for most cannabis-sourced products (a shame, that). What research has been done, though, shows that HHC is just as safe as THC and its variants. So, chillax, then get your HHC buzz on.
Will HHC Get Me High?
Short answer: You bet! HHC is about 80–90% as strong as delta 9 THC, for example, but it’s a different type of buzz. And our HHC products may affect you more strongly than regular THC products do. The best way to find out is to try some HHC for yourself.
What Kind of HHC Effects Can I Expect?
We’re back in the world of “It depends” here, as individual responses to any psychotropic substance can vary quite a bit. HHC effects tend toward more of a body high, and a nice euphoric rush, but some people find it super-relaxing and chill. Fusion Hippie HHC products can be impressively potent, so dose carefully until you know what to expect from the ride.
How Should I Dose HHC?
As can be the case with every cannabis-related psychotropic compound (delta 8 THC, delta 9 THC, etc.), different people have different reactions, so we really recommend starting off easy and learning through experience what works best for you. Generally speaking, Fusion Hippie products are made with the recommended dose on all packaging (one half gummy, for example) is the place to start.
