What is HHC-O and Is It a Delta-10?

HHC or Hydrogenated Hemp Cannabinoid is a compound produced by adding an additional hydrogen molecule to delta-9 THC. Learn more about its legality & effects.

What is HHC-O and Is It a Delta-10?

It appears that HHC-O may not be broken down in the body in the same way as THC. Unlike the delta 8, delta 9 and delta 10 forms of THC, there is some evidence that HHC-O is not metabolized to 11-hydroxy-THC, which is the degrading substance that many drug panels test. The jury is still out on this, but it's better to be safe than sorry. Unlike delta-8 and delta-10, HHC-O is chemically more distinct from THC.

This compound is produced by adding an additional hydrogen molecule to delta-9 THC and, as such, will break down into slightly different metabolites. The main difference between HHC-O and Delta 9-THC is federal and state legality. HHC-O is fully federally legal in 41 states, while Delta 9-THC is illegal and federally illegal in most states. Both HHC and Delta 9-THC produce euphoric psychoactive effects on consumers and carry a wide variety of medical and recreational benefits.

According to Mark Scialdone, chemist and chief scientific officer at BR Brands, hydrogenation improves “stability and resistance to thermooxidative degradation”, meaning that HHC has a longer lifespan and is less prone to damage caused by ultraviolet light and heat. User reports generally describe the HHC high as somewhere between Delta 8 and Delta 9 for THC. Binoids focus on research, on finding new hemp compounds to keep their Delta-10, THC-O and HHC products at the forefront. HHC-O is fully legal federally and is legal in most states, including some of the states that have banned hemp-derived THC.

This compound binds to different receptors than normal hemp cannabinoids, such as Delta-8.Because the products contain only HHC-O made with 100% hemp extract, companies can manufacture, distribute and sell completely legally to consumers in the United States. If HHC remains legally viable, and especially if it is less expensive to manufacture high-potency HHC, this promising cannabinoid will be more available in the diverse cannabis market. Lucid Blue HHC Vape Sativa from Binoid provides a powerful and powerful buzz with an intense and exciting effect. Other varieties of HHC Vape cartridges include Hawaiian Sunrise, Cali Gold, Super Silver Haze and Gorilla Glue.

In reality, when all is said and done, HHC can have several benefits compared to more traditional THC dosing methods. Of course, many experts believe that the risk-benefit profile of HHC is similar to that of traditional THC, meaning that it can be safe if used responsibly and moderately. With HHC, as with all hemp derivatives, it has unlimited potential for different dosage forms, but it is still very new to the market.
