Hydrogenated hemp cannabinoid (HHC) is a form of THC that has been modified to increase its stability and longevity. It is similar to THC in terms of effects and potency, but there is currently no evidence that it is any less safe than THC. However, caution should still be exercised when using HHC products, as there is no solid research on the metabolites of HHC yet. Third-party laboratory tests are essential to determining the quality of HHC products, and they should come from trusted sources and reputable brands.
HHC is naturally found in hemp plants, so it is not a synthetic cannabinoid. The dosage of HHC is not well understood, so it is difficult to say how much is needed to achieve an experience similar to that of THC. Most HHC products would not pass potency tests as they do not contain even traces of the compound. If you have had a pleasant experience with Delta-9 THC, you are likely to enjoy using HHC.
The potency of HHC varies greatly from batch to batch, but it can be expected to be in the area of a mild to mild THC high. Unlike THC, HHC can withstand air and ultraviolet light and maintain its potency for much longer. Laboratories must have the appropriate standards to differentiate between Delta-8 and HHC, and ideally between HHC, HHDR and synthetic HHC. It is important to ensure that your HHC products are pesticide-free in order to guarantee their safety.
Additionally, keep them in a dark place away from light and at room temperature to prevent damage. To make HHC, scientists use high pressure and a catalyst such as palladium or nickel to break the double bond structure of THC.
