HHC - General Questions

HHC - A Synthetic or Natural Cannabinoid?

HHC, known as hexahydrocannabinol, is the first semi-synthetic cannabinoid identified in the European Union, monitored by the EU's early warning system since October 21, 2022. Unlike typical synthetic cannabinoids such as those in Spice products, HHC can be produced from CBD extracted from low-THC cannabis strains.

Safety of HHC Consumption

Compared to THC, HHC, which is a hydrogenated variant of THC, appears to have similar effects and comparable potency, persisting longer in the body. Future studies are expected to validate HHC's safety at levels similar to THC.

Use of HHC in Vaping

Popular among vaping options, HHC offers effects similar to Delta-8 and Delta-9 THC and is available in various forms, including edibles and oils, for a tailored consumer experience.

Classification of HHC - Indica or Sativa?

HHC effects tend to align more with Sativa THC variants, emphasizing energy and user focus.

Diversity of HHC Products

There are different types of HHC, such as 9R-HHC, which is more potent, and S9-HHC, which is less effective. The product's efficiency depends on the ratio between these variants.

Aroma of HHC Products

HHC products do not have a distinct smell of their own; the perceived aroma comes from natural or synthetic flavor additives used in vape solutions or other products.

Nature and Technology - HHC Production

At E-Euphoria, HHC is obtained by modifying CBD extracted from hemp, processed into a pure powder form, and then converted into HHC under controlled conditions.

Safety Aspects of HHC

Currently, there are no conclusive studies indicating potential risks of toxicity, neurotoxicity, or carcinogenicity associated with HHC.

Innovation in Cannabinoids - Creating HHC

HHC was first synthesized by American chemist Roger Adams in 1944 by adding hydrogen to the Delta-9 THC molecule, a process called hydrogenation, thus transforming it into hexahydrocannabinol.
