HHC

HHC is the abbreviation for hexahydrocannabinol. The substance occurs naturally in some cannabis sativa varieties, and presumably promotes the sativa-typical "high effect" and is thus a natural component of the cannabinoid system of the marijuana plant. HHC can now be produced synthetically or semi-synthetically in addition to pure extraction from cannabis plants.

HHC acts similarly to THC in an attenuated form, with consumers describing HHC as significantly less potent in its effects. Common effects include mental relaxation, but especially euphoria and, in some cases, increased appetite. Less frequently to very rarely, mild psychoactive effects may also occur. Primarily, therefore, HHC has an activating and mildly euphoric effect without psychotropic effects.

HHC first came on the market in 2020. It is available in the form of HHC weed, fruit gums, cookies or oils. HHC vapes are also available. The correct dosage of HHC depends, among other things, on the form in which it is consumed. A weak dose is around 5 to 10 mg, more experienced users can also take doses between 25 and 50 mg.
