What Is HHC?

With new discoveries every day, we are now in an era where cannabinoids are thriving. Alternatives to CBD and Delta 9 products are rapidly emerging, and HHC is one of the most recent players.

What is HHC?

HHC is a cannabinoid compound found in hemp plants. It stands for hexahydrocannabinol.

HHC is the hydrogenated version of THC. To produce HHC, hydrogen atoms were added to the chemical structure THC.

Is HHC Synthetic or Natural?

HHC can be extracted naturally from hemp plants. But, there is a problem. HHC is very rare in hemp plants, so manufacturers will need to allocate huge amounts of resources in order to make HHC products 100% from natural sources. This is bad news for your wallet.

To make HHC affordable, experts and manufacturers have developed a cost-effective way to produce HHC in the laboratory. The HHC products that you see on the market today are semi-synthetic.

How Is HHC Made?

Since HHC can only be synthesized in a lab, it is not possible to source it 100% naturally. Hydrogenation is the process by which HHC can be made in a laboratory.

Delta 9 THC can also be converted to HHC by hydrogenation. A solvent and metal catalyst are required to aid in the reaction. The molecule becomes unstable during the process. This gives hydrogen atoms the opportunity to move into place and stabilize it. The result is that hydrogen atoms are added and a new compound is created.
