There are various synthetic cannabis products on the market, and the main concern is that they contain chemicals that are not naturally found in cannabis. But, at the end of the day, the choice is yours.
While the presence of chemicals is a legitimate concern, some producers have a reputation for top quality and stringent safety procedures in their production process. So, if you decide to try THCO, stick to trusted producers.
Also, it is best to begin with a low dose and see how your body reacts before you increase the dose.
Should you try to make THCO yourself? The answer here is a resounding no. The process of making THCO should only take place in a technical lab with no direct exposure to humans.
According to researchers, making THCO Acetate is inherently dangerous as the acetic anhydride is highly flammable and potentially explosive. It means you shouldn’t even think about making this compound yourself. Leave it up to the pros.
In the world of weed, there’s always room to grow and discover new cannabis variations. Recently, these discoveries have gained popularity with compounds like THCP, THCV, and delta-8. But there are fresh cannabinoids trailblazing their way into canna-consumers’ collections.
Now, chemists have started adding hydrogen molecules to cannabinoids through a process called hydrogenation. This creates semi-synthetic compounds like HHC and HHCO – another alternative to THC variants.
So what is HHCO? What’s the difference between HHCO vs HHC? Is HHC stronger than delta-8?
Elevate Holistics is here to dive into what these cannabinoids are, the risks of adding chemicals to cannabis, and how to stay safe when trying these products. Let’s strap on our safety goggles and explore these concoctions.
What is HHC?
HHC, or hexahydrocannabinol, is a naturally and synthetically derived compound made from the hemp plant. HHC naturally occurs in tiny concentrations in hemp but must be synthesized for commercial use – making it both natural and synthetic.
American chemist Roger Adams first created HHC in 1944
