Hands holding out a tincture of HHC oil and a cannabis leafLegal cannabinoids surged in popularity beginning with delta 8. That array of cannabinoids available has quickly expanded to include the likes of delta 9, delta 10, THCO and HHC. In this article we're doing to tell you everything you need to know about one of the least well-understood of these alternative cannabinoids; HHC.

What is HHC?

HHC is one of themost interesting cannabinoidsavailable today. It was first created in 1944 by a chemist named Roger Adams and was achieved by adding hydrogen to delta 9. Now this process has been altered to comply with the 2018 farm bill, and the cannabinoid is derived from hemp instead of THC. HHC is considered to be a bit weaker and less psychoactive than THC.

Does HHC Get You High?

The short answer is yes. But as we mentioned, HHC is not as strong as THC. Experienced cannabis users may need to use a higher dosage to feel the effects. Also the type of high will be a little different. Read on to find out more about the types of effects you can expect from a HHC high.

HHC Benefits

The effect it has is similar to traditional weed. It canboost moodbut unlike many of its fellow cannabinoids, it can actually stimulate increased activity. It will provide a nice head buzz, but it doesn't affect your ability to stay in control. This makes it a great cannabinoid for those who want to stay active and busy throughout their day.

The popularity of HHC is growing fast because it is NOT actually a version of THC like most cannabinoids. This means that while states might ban Delta 8,HHC still exists in a more legal gray area. It is not specifically addressed in the 2018 Farm Bill so individual states are scrambling to define the legality of this emerging new compound. That said, many hemp products containing HHC are currently available on the market and there have been no reports of people being arrested for having or using them. It is important to note that concentrated forms of HHC are likely to be illegal if they contain more than 0.3% THC.

Does HHC Show Up in a Drug Test?

Because HHC is not a version of THC, it also means it may not show up on drug tests as easily as THC, though the evidence for this is mostly anecdotal at this point. Since it is so closely related to THC, it's best to err on the side of caution and assume that it could be detected by modern testing methods.

How Long Does HHC Stay in Your System?

When consumed orally (via edibles), HHC can stay in your system for up to 48 hours. If it is smoked, traces of HHC can remain in urine and plasma tests for up to 7 days after consumption. It's always best to er on the side of caution and wait several weeks for any cannabinoid to leave your system.

HHC is considered to be safe when consumed in moderate amounts. However, like any other cannabinoid, you should always start with a low dose and work your way up. HHC is the least well understood cannabinoid, because while it was discovered in 1944, it did not see widespread use until more recently.

HHC Side Effects

Like most foods and medications, cannabinoids will have potential side effects. These side effects may vary from person to person, but they typically only surface when the dosage is off. Start with a small dosage to avoid any potential side effects such as headaches, dizziness, nausea or anxiety.

What's the Difference Between HHC and THC?

Lastly, the main difference between HHC and THC is that HHC is not as psychoactive as THC is. It provides a nice head high without impacting control. Because of this difference, many people find that they are able to use HHC in public or at work without worrying about being impaired or having negative reactions from those around them. Additionally, HHC may provide more stimulating effects than THC, which can make it great for daytime use.

In conclusion, HHC is a very promising alternative cannabinoid that many people are finding to be beneficial in their daily lives. While the legality of HHC may be confusing, it seems to be widely available and many states have yet to take action against its sale or consumption. Additionally, while there is no definitive answer as to whether or not HHC will show up on drug tests, it is best to play it safe and assume that it could potentially be detected by modern testing methods if consumed in large amounts.
