HHC is the new cannabinoid in town, capable of mimicking similar effects of those offered by Delta-9 THC – with milder, gentler effects and one major advantage: it’s completely legal.
Let’s be honest for a second. If you could buy a legal cannabinoid that produced THC-like effects, would you jump at the opportunity? The answer to this question most often is a resounding yes! Well, now is your chance thanks to the new cannabinoid in town called HHC. If we can be completely honest, we totally dig this one, and we think you will agree with that statement once you learn its effects and benefits.
HHC isn’t new. Science has known about it since the 1940s, but it is new to cannabis consumers, only recently joining the list of favored cannabinoids in the cannabis community. It is one of those 119 cannabinoids known for providing benefits, and it is federally legal across the United States.
Many states continue to rebuke cannabis legalization laws and maintain Delta-9 THC as a Schedule I drug. People in those states face serious consequences, up to and including jail or prison time, if caught with even small amounts of cannabis.
HHC is not a THC compound but produces similar effects. People residing in states without cannabis legalization legislation can easily access HHC without fear of legal consequences. Although the effects of HHC are milder than those offered from THC, it’s a great alternative that provides a pretty good high without the risks.
As far as the milder effects are concerned, this works perfectly for newcomers to the cannabis world who want to try it out before they commit. Delta-9 THC can easily be over-consumed and create effects opposite of those desired by the user.
Milder effects make it possible to obtain a pleasurable ‘high’ without feeling effects so intense that it is hard to get things done. Use HHC before work or important meetings and other important tasks and maintain a clear head.
HHC has the potential to become the next big thing in the cannabis industry. You’re here because HHC has piqued your curiosity. Now, learn what all the fuss is about as we divulge important information about this cannabinoid that may very well change the way you consume cannabis.
What is HHC? What You Need to Know
Hexahydrocannabinoid, better known as HHC, is a semi-synthetic cannabinoid that exists in small amounts in the hemp plant. HHC molecules bind to cannabinoid receptors in the brain. The molecules resemble Delta-9 THC and they share many of the same properties. This results in similar effects after consuming the cannabinoids.
Extracting HHC from the cannabis plant has not been practical due to the costs, but that changed after the passage of the 2018 Farm Bill. Since HHC is not a THC compound, it can easily and quickly be produced inside a laboratory. This synthetic molecule fits the definition of legal hemp as defined in the Farm Bill as long as its derived from the hemp plant.
As a safe alternative to THC, HHC provides users with the same pleasurable feelings in a legal form. HHC is legally available for purchase anywhere in the United States. Its incredible benefits persuade most every cannabis consumer or curious looker to give it a try.
Among the benefits of using HHC:
HHC is still a relatively new cannabinoid in the cannabis world. Only a handful of retailers offer HHC products. We’re among those retailers.
Produces the same effects as THC in a milder potency
May not show up on a drug test
Great for first-time consumers and people on the go
Can withstand hotter temperatures than THC
Can be purchased online and shipped directly to your home
Longer shelf life than THC
Hexahydrocannabinoid – HHC Potency
HHC is approximately 70% the strength of Delta-9 THC. It is not as strong as THC, but certainly offers cerebral effects enjoyable to users. Consumers enjoy HHC in many situations, including social settings, before work, during lunch breaks, and when they want a little less excitement than THC provides.
Every user experiences the effects of HHC differently. However, expect to feel the same effects experienced after consuming THC, which include:
Cerebral intoxication
Body intoxication
Relaxation
Euphoria
Calmness
Better sleep
HHC vs. Delta-9 THC
HHC shares similar qualities as Delta-9 THC but the two molecules are very different. It exists in pollen and seeds of the hemp plant but is pretty simple to artificially create inside a lab through the hydrogenation process. Delta-9 THC, on the other hand, exists in abundance on the flowering buds of the cannabis plant.
Delta-8 THC is another newer lab-created cannabinoid that has stirred conversation in the cannabis world in recent times. Delta-8 THC mimics the effects of THC but is an analog of THC. HHC, on the other hand, is a natural phytocannabinoid that may not show up on a drug panel and currently is legal across the United States.
While we can’t stress enough how every user experiences different effects after consuming any cannabinoid, most agree that HHC provides more intense effects than Delta-8 THC.
These facts, combined with the incredible feeling HHC provides, have paved the way for a product with great potential in the cannabis industry.
Is HHC Legal? Federal vs. State Regulations
Under the 2018 Farm Bill law, HHC is federally legal in all 50 states as long as it is derived from hemp and contains 0.3% or less THC percentage. Our products, including the new 99% pure HHC vape and our full spectrum HHC vape, are legal and available to ship throughout the country.
Nine states currently enact conflicting laws under their Controlled Substance Act (CSA) that could make HHC an illegal substance. If you reside in one of the following states, check state and local laws before purchasing HHC products.
Alaska
Arizona
Alabama
Colorado
Idaho
Illinois
Mississippi
Montana
New York
Back in the 1940s, cannabis was as controversial as ever. The movie Reefer Madness – established as an education movie released in 1940 – portrayed cannabis in a most horrific light, and with little scientific evidence to refute the claims, most people were inclined to believe the “experts.”
One day in 1944, chemist Roger Adams decided he would modify the structure of Delta-9 THC molecules. He did this by replacing a double bond with two hydrogen atoms through an isolate process known as hydrogenation. This process is similar to that used to convert vegetable oil to margarine.
The result was the semi-synthetic cannabinoid known as HHC.
We don’t know the reason behind Adam’s creation, but we certainly appreciate him for introducing science to this semi-synthetic cannabinoid.
Reasons Why We Think You Should Try Hexahydrocannabinoid HHC
The idea of consuming legal cannabis appeals to many people. HHC provides the opportunity to try cannabis, get a feel for its effects, and decide if it is right for you. Further, HHC works great for those looking for a product they can use before work or other tasks that require them to be on their toes.
HHC is the closest alternative to Delta-9 THC currently available. Anyone who resides in a state without legal cannabis legislation can buy HHC without fear of getting arrested or building a criminal record and enjoy some of the same effects.
True, the effects of HHC are generally milder than Delta-9 THC but stronger than the alternative product, Delta-8 THC. HHC produces more cerebral effects than you might expect. First-time consumers appreciate the milder, less potent effects just as much as people with low THC tolerance.
Many users experience happy, joyful euphoria after consuming HHC. It’s great to consume in any situation when you want to feel intoxicated. It is the perfect legal alternative to both Delta-9 and Delta-8 THCs, available for purchase online right here with Arete.
Apart from the awesome HHC benefits outlined above, there are several reasons why we think trying this cannabinoid should be on your to-do list, like:
Purchase online from the comfort of your home
Discreet; no smell or mess
When purchased from a reputable provider like Arete, HHC is 100% safe
Enjoy the effects of THC without the same risks
Milder cerebral high
1. Is there an age requirement to purchase HHC?
Dispensaries selling legal marijuana set an age requirement of 21 years old. Customers must be at least 21 to enter the dispensary or purchase marijuana. HHC is a little different. The 2018 Farm Bill does not set a minimum age requirement for the purchase of hemp and hemp-derived products. With that said, most online cannabis stores restrict sales to adult buyers only. Arete sets a minimum age of 21 years old to purchase our products.
2. Will HHC show up on a drug test?
Experts aren’t certain if HHC will show up on a drug test, but there is good reason to believe that it will not. There just isn’t enough research to answer this question with a definitive answer. With that said, we do know that HHC does not break down the same way as THC, nor does it metabolize into 11-hydroxy-THC, the compound drug panels test for. We do not believe HHC has the potential to show up on a drug test but advise you to avoid use before a test to be on the safe side.
3. Is sending HHC through the mail legal?
Absolutely! Shipping HHC and other cannabinoid products via the United States Postal Service (USPS) is 100% legal as long as they’re hemp-derived and contain 0.3% or less THC content. Our products meet those requirements. We would never put you at risk by shipping products that could potentially result in confiscation or cause you any legal trouble. All products sold in our online store are available to ship anywhere in the continental U.S.
4. What are the side effects of HHC?
Side effects aren’t a big concern but users who experience them usually do so after ingesting large quantities of HHC. In small doses, HHC does not create side effects. In higher doses, users may experience side effects similar to those of THC, including dry mouth, increased appetite, red eyes, dizziness, anxiety or anxiousness, and sleepiness. Most side effects subside within a short time of use and do not negatively affect the user enough to discontinue use.
5. Can I save money on HHC products?
Save money on all your HHC product purchases as a member of our Loyalty Rewards program. As a member, you earn points on every purchase and when you complete different activities, like following us on social media. You can level up to another tier and earn free merch and other perks. Plus, our referral program gives all your friends a cool 20% off their first purchase with us and a $15 reward for you. Giving back to our customers is important to us.
6. Will HHC give me the munchies?
Quite possibly! Every person reacts differently to HHC. As a side effect of THC, getting the munchies can also affect a person following HHC use since they share similar side effects. Luckily, our delicious Organic Chocolate Chip CannaCookies hit the spot if you happen to get a sweet tooth.
7. What’s the difference between full-spectrum and HHC isolate?
Full-spectrum HHC contains added small compounds like terpenes and THC used to enhance the effects of the product. Isolate HHC, on the other hand, is pure HHC with no additives. Isolate products work best for users with sensitivities to cannabinoids while full-spectrum products offer more pronounced results.
Some companies toss together a few ingredients and call it HHC. This produces less-than-stellar effects for the user and may impact the safety of the product.
