Is HHC the new THC?


    HHC is a cannabinoid that not many people have heard about. But, if you're a cannabis user, it's important to know what HHC can do for you. Whether you want more focus or pain relief, HHC may have the potential to help. 

    HHC stands for hexahydrocannabinol and is one of the lesser known cannabinoids found in cannabis plants such as Cannabis indica and Cannabis sativa L., which are commonly used by medical marijuana patients because of their high concentrations of THC (the psychoactive cannabinoid). There is research being done on whether or not HHC provides the same benefits as THC, and so far the results seem promising.

The potential benefits of HHC appear to be very similar to those of THC, including:

  • inflammation reduction
  • chronic pain management
  • anxiety relief
  • nausea relief
  • improved sleep
    HHC is a hydrogenated cannabinoid that is much more resistant to heat and UV radiation, and also has a substantially longer shelf-life in comparison to THC, which may make it a more efficient option overall by resulting in less wasted product.

    Many different users have stated that the psychoactive effects of HHC are similar to the effects of delta 8 THC because of it seeming to have a more pronounced relaxation effect as opposed to a stimulation effect. HHC's effects appear to be stronger than those of delta 8, but not quite as pronounced as those of delta 9 THC, so a bit more may need to be consumed to achieve the desired effect for someone used to consuming traditional THC.

The Benefits of Smokable CBD Hemp Flower

    CBD Hemp Flower (buds from cannabis plants bred to contain less than 0.3% THC) has been rapidly growing in popularity in recent years, and for good reason. People all over the world have reported relief from anxiety, aches and pains, and more after smoking or vaping hemp flower, thanks to its high CBD content. CBD is an acronym for cannabidiol, which is one of the active ingredients of cannabis (marijuana).       Studies have shown that the CBD in hemp flower can act as an anti-inflammatory and pain reliever, while also providing a soothing, calming euphoria without the "high" that comes from THC (the psychoactive chemical in marijuana). Not only can it potentially help with a range of physical aspects, it has also been shown to possibly help with things like depression, addiction, and anxiety by "taking the edge off" and enabling some people to finally relax naturally, without the need for prescription medication and all its unwanted side-effects.       Inhal
