What do we know about the cannabinoid HHC-O?

In the previous few articles we have introduced HHC, but this is not the end of the hexahydrocannabinol series, but the beginning. Today we will introduce you to a more potent variant of HHC, HHC-O. How is this cannabinoid produced and what are its effects? Is HHC-O available and safe?

Cannabinoids HHC, HHC-O, HHC-P: What do they do and how do they differ?

We already know that hexahydrocannabinol (HHC) was first discovered by American chemist Roger Adams when he added a hydrogen molecule to delta 9-THC. HHC is found naturally in the cannabis plant, but only in trace amounts, so it is currently produced semi-synthetically, most commonly by hydrogenation of other cannabinoids such as CBD. The hydrogenation process improves the stability of the molecule and resistance to thermo-oxidative degradation.
