What Is HHC? A Detailed Overview - DistroMike

What Is HHC (Hexahydrocannabinol)?
HHC stands for Hexahydrocannabinol. It's a compound that has effects very similar to traditional delta-9 THC, but it's derived from hemp. Unlike THC, HHC is not grown or extracted; it's made through a conversion process that starts with CBD, much like how delta-8 THC is created.
HHC is essentially tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), but with an additional hydrogen molecule added. It was first discovered in the 1940s by American chemist Roger Adams, who is known for his pioneering research on cannabis. Despite being known for over 60 years, HHC didn't have a practical use until recently. The 2018 Farm Bill, which legalized delta-8 THC products, also paved the way for HHC's rise in popularity.
When states in the US began to ban or regulate the sale and manufacturing of delta-8 products, HHC emerged as a legal alternative. Many of the state bills being passed banned the sale of THC isomers, which include things like delta-8, delta-10, thc-o, etc. Since HHC is not considered a THC isomer, it was able to enter the market and replace delta products in states with delta restrictions.
Our brand, Baked HHC, was actually the world’s first HHC brand, and we continue to operate it today!

Does HHC Get You High??
Absolutely, HHC will get you high, and we believe it offers one of the best experiences available. The high from HHC is very similar to that of delta-9 THC. However, we describe it more as a delta-9 weed cartridge high rather than a delta-9 cannabis flower high. In our opinion, it's far superior to delta-8 and other psychoactive cannabinoids found in stores.
HHC provides an uplifting cerebral head high without much of a body high. This makes it ideal for daytime use, as it allows you to remain focused and productive without feeling lazy or groggy. HHC is also much smoother and more enjoyable to smoke compared to delta-8, which is known for being harsh and causing coughing.

What Is The Difference Between 9R-HHC and 9S-HHC?

When looking at a Certificate of Analysis (COA) for HHC, you will notice that HHC is actually made up of 2 different kinds of HHC, 9R-HHC and 9S-HHC. All HHC on the market will include these because when HHC is created, both of these cannabinoids are created.
The terms "9R-HHC" and "9S-HHC" refer to the two enantiomers of HHC. Enantiomers are pairs of molecules that are mirror images of each other, similar to how your left and right hands are mirror images. These two forms are identical in terms of their molecular formula but differ in their three-dimensional spatial arrangement.
The "9r" and "9s" notation indicates the configuration of the molecule around the ninth carbon atom in the HHC structure. The "r" stands for "rectus" (Latin for "right"), indicating that the arrangement of atoms around this carbon is right-handed, while the "s" stands for "sinister" (Latin for "left"), indicating a left-handed arrangement.
While it is believed that one may be more psychoactive than the other, there is little research done to support a valid claim

Is HHC Safe?
Most likely! As long as you're consuming HHC products from a reputable brand with quality products, you should be safe. There have been no known cases of anyone dying or having serious health issues from consuming HHC. However, there aren't many in-depth studies on the long-term benefits or risks of using HHC. We personally consume HHC almost every day and have had many positive experiences.

Have You Tried A Fake HHC Product?
When we first released our Baked HHC products, HHC was quite expensive. At that time, delta-8 cost about $3-4 per gram, while HHC cost around $10-12 per gram. As Baked gained popularity, other brands wanted to enter the HHC market. However, many were unwilling to pay the higher price for HHC. So, they created packaging that said HHC but their products actually contained delta-8. This means that if you've tried an HHC product in the last 2-3 years, you might have been consuming delta-8 THC instead. Nowadays, the prices of delta-8 and HHC are more similar, so this issue is less common.
If you had a negative experience in the past we highly recommend you try HHC again!
