Hemp is stirring up some serious buzz among cannabis enthusiasts – and it's not just about the 'high' anymore. With the introduction of new cannabinoids, people remain curious about what’s new this time. With everything new in the cannabis industry, people expect some more health benefits from the new member other than only focusing on recreational uses. If you are also one of them, you are at the right place.
In this article, we are going to talk about a hidden gem in the world of cannabinoids, HHCP that's creating quite a stir. We're going to chat about what HHC-P is, how it can make you feel, and all the awesome stuff it brings to the table. Ready to dive into the exciting world of HHC-P? Let's get started!
What is HHCP?
HHC-P is a new cannabinoid that is derived from the industrial hemp. HHC-P stands for Hexahydrocannabiphorol which is the hydrogenated form of THCP. It is believed to interact with the CB1 receptors of the human body in the same way as Delta 9 THC and THCO. Research is still in the initial phase so multiple things about HHCP are still unclear and can’t be claimed. Let’s learn more about HHCP keeping in mind that more research is needed.
How is HHCP made?
HHCP is a synthetic cannabinoid that was created in a lab by professional scientists. It is also believed (as of now) that HHCP has never been isolated naturally. This makes it really important to have third-party labs that check what's actually in the HHC-P products you get from the market since they're the ones who make sure everything is right.
Users may look at HHCP as the THCP of HHC. Confused why? Let’s talk about this. THCP, which was first discovered in 2019 naturally in hemp, is known best for its ability to bind CB1 receptors which is said to be 33x more than Delta 9 THC. THCP has this binding potential due to the presence of additional carbon atoms in its side chain.
Now coming to our main compound, HHCP is, in fact, the hydrogenated form of THCP. Hence, HHCP is chemically stable and capable of providing the same effects as THCP. If you are well aware of HHC, you will feel and understand the analogous relationship between HHC-P and THC-P, and HHC and delta 9 THC.
Which is more Potent- HHCP vs HHC vs THCP
Effects of HHCP may vary depending on the human body. While some feel that HHCP has quite similar effects when compared to THC, others feel it to be 10x times more potent than THC and around 20x times more effective than HHC. Moreover, people who are used to THC may not feel the strong effects of HHCP.
Hence, the answer to which is more potent may vary from person to person but on a general level, we may expect that in future research HHCP may come up as the most potent out of all cannabinoids. As of now, more facts and data are required to claim any effect.
Research about HHCP in 2023 paper seeking to identify its stereoisomers is present but we are still looking for more supportive research to claim how many qualities of HHCP and THCP are similar. We have been talking about HHCP based on its structure and similarities with THCP and based on customer testimonials but as of now, supportive research is non-existent.
Effects of HHCP
HHCP may deliver long-lasting effects as per the studies conducted and similarities with HHC. It may deliver a sense of relief and relaxation, better mood, anxiolytic properties, and a strong feeling of euphoria.
It should be noted that HHC-P is considered to be more bioavailable than THC Delta 9. When you mix HHC-P with fat, it stays in your body longer than THC Delta 9. So, in a test with edibles, HHC-P would last longer. Even when it evaporates, HHC-P is still stronger than THC Delta 9. HHCP long long-lasting effects are quite appreciated by its users.
While there have not been many negative effects reported, few users might feel dry mouth, headache, or intoxication if taken in large doses. We recommend you always begin HHCP consumption at lower doses. If it suits you, you can start the dose gradually. This is the best way to make any cannabinoid a part of your daily routine for the best results.
Which HHCP products are available?
There are multiple HHCP products which are available in the market. It includes HHCP carts, tinctures, disposables, and many more. Cannabinoid blends are especially prominent. If you are looking for gummies, you may find them only in the blended formulations. Formulas include cannabinoids like THCA, THCP, and, of course, HHC.
Will HHCP fail you in a drug test?
Research about HHCP is still ongoing. Currently, more than 0.3% Delta 9 THC is considered to be a red flag for a drug test, so we recommend you avoid consuming any HHCP products while going for a drug test. You may fail it and get a positive drug test report as it belongs to the THC family and no evidence supports that HHCP will not get detected in your drug test till now.
Is HHCP legal?
HHCP legality is still in a complex state. In the U.S. it is not entirely clear-cut. It might fall into a legal grey area under the 2018 Farm Bill, which legalized hemp-derived cannabinoids with less than 0.3% THC on a dry weight basis. However, because HHCP is a synthetic cannabinoid and not directly extracted from the hemp plant, its legality can be subject to interpretation and may vary.
Conclusion
HHCP represents both the innovative spirit of cannabinoid research and the complexities of navigating the evolving landscape of cannabis legality and usage. As research continues to uncover more about HHCP, both users and industry stakeholders should remain attentive to new developments and approach this intriguing compound with an informed and cautious mindset.
