HHC stands for hexahydrocannabinol, which is a hydrogenated form of THC.
It’s obtained in a similar process that margarine manufacturers use to harden vegetable oils using a process known as hydrogenation, or adding hydrogen atoms to the chemical structure to make it stable.
When it comes to its effect profile, HHC is very similar to the psychoactive feeling of THC. It will induce feelings of euphoria, alter your visual and auditory perception, boost appetite, and temporarily increase heart rate.
Some HHC users put HHC somewhere between delta 8 THC and delta 9 THC, describing them as more relaxing than stimulating.
Delta-8 is a cannabis compound that has become popular because of its similarity to delta-9 THC, the main compound in cannabis that gets you high, causing euphoria, happiness, sedation, symptom relief, and much more. Large amounts of THC are found in a majority of cannabis strains.
The similarities between the two cannabinoids lie in their chemical structures and their names. THC’s scientific name is delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol, or delta-9 THC, or just delta-9. Delta-8 is short for delta-8-tetrahydrocannabinol, or delta-8 THC. delta-8 THC can cause effects similar to regular delta-9 THC—but they will be much less potent.
