Description
HHCh distillate is hydrogenated hexyl THC (THCh). HHCh is HHC (Hexahydrocannabinol) with a Hexyl Chain. First produced in 1947 through extraction from d9 THC, HHC is not technically a THC, although users do report it can produce a euphoric effect similar to a high.
HHCh has the molecular formula C22H34O2. And because it is a hydrogenated compound, like H4CBD and HHC, it consists of 2 different stereoisomers, i.e. molecules:
- 9(R)-hexahydrocannabihexol, also 9β-hexahydrocannabihexol, 9β-HHCh, 9(R)-HHCh
- 9(S)-hexahydrocannabishexol, also 9α-hexahydrocannabihexol, 9α-HHCh, 9(S)-HHCh
The molecule (9R) binds very effectively to CB1 receptors in the endocannabinoid system (ECS), producing a psychoactive effect, while 9(S) is referred to as the inactive component.
For this, let’s cite a 2023 study that looked at the cannabinoid HHC and concluded that the 9(R) isomer binds with higher affinity to CB1 (nervous system, in the brain) and CB2 (in the immune system, the digestive tract and other organs) and that the activity of 9(R) is almost identical to that of THC, whereas 9(S) binds strongly in cannabinoid receptor studies but shows reduced activity in functional assays.
HHCh is the next step beyond THCh. Like HHCp is to THCp, HHCh is to THCh.
In terms of potency, HHCh is about 10-15x stronger than d9 THC. It is slightly stronger than THCh which makes it a great compliment to the more well known phytocannabinoid. It is a high viscosity oil that softens with light heat and the colour can be altered through oxidation. Oxidation does not impact the potency or cause any conversions, but it is best to store under argon when stored and at room temperature..
Being a very body high and euphoria heavy noid that hits faster than d9 THCp but slower than d9 THCb. Power level lies between the two as well. Unlike THCh, HHCh is not stimulating at all and is more calm. Must use in moderations. Users report spaced out feeling.
