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.

    Our understanding of cannabinoids like HHC and delta 8 is always evolving. To learn more about HHC, Delta 8, THC, or CBD products, come see the experts at Hemp Boutique in Biloxi, MS.

The Most Efficient Way to Inhale Cannabis, EVER - Now in Biloxi, Mississippi!

          Have you ever heard of a thermal extraction device? No? Well, it's the absolute most efficient way to inhale cannabis, ever.       With the DynaVap devices we carry at Hemp Boutique, there's no combustion, no smoke, and no battery. Only vapor. It's like a vaporizer, except you don't need to worry about charging it or plugging it in. In fact, it's not electronic, it's entirely mechanical, and made of either stainless steel or titanium, depending on the model. It's about the size and shape of a cigarette, and you only put one tenth of a gram of flower into it. The crazy part is, it also delivers a much more satisfying cloud of vapor than any electronic herb vaporizer we've ever seen. The way it works is with a mechanism in the cap that "clicks" as soon as it's reached the optimal temperature for extracting all the good stuff from cannabis.       You can heat it using one of the DynaVap heaters or by using a s...

Hemp Boutique Has the Best Federally Legal Cannabis on the Gulf Coast

    Hemp Boutique is home to the finest federally legal cannabis on the Gulf Coast, and has been proudly helping people find relaxation and relief since 2018 right in Biloxi, Mississippi. How do they have federally legal cannabis if marijuana is illegal? Well, it's not marijuana flower, its hemp/CBD flower, which contains less than 0.3% THC (the psychoactive compound in marijuana that gets you high) so its fully legal.       That doesn't mean you don't feel anything, though. Not by any means. In fact, a huge part of what you feel when smoking cannabis is from the terpenes and other cannabinoids in the flower, not just the THC. Not to mention, all these other compounds in the flower provide a huge host of health benefits that you can't get from THC alone. We had a customer stop by and pick up a pre-roll of our Apple Strudel (a hybrid, indica-dominant strain of hemp flower) and a little while after he left, he called the store saying he had just sat at the...

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....
