HHC

HHC is a cannabinoid that is currently receiving a lot of attention in the cannabis community. As with Δ-8-THC, the hype surrounding HHC is mainly due to its similarity to Δ-9-THC. But unlike 'traditional' THC, the legality of HHC is a bit more complicated. Hexahydrocannabinol certainly resembles its natural counterpart, but it has its own molecular structure and effect.

Many sources refer to hexahydrocannabinol as a “semi-synthetic cannabinoid.” Although it is also found in trace amounts in the cannabis plant, it is mostly synthetically derived from THC. In fact, HHC was first discovered in a laboratory, rather than in cannabis itself.
