HHC

HHC is short for Hydroxyhexahydrocannabinol (or simply hexahydrocannabinol). It is a hemp-derived cannabinoid found naturally in cannabis but only in trace concentrations. It is a semi-synthetic hydrogenated compound first created in 1944 by the American chemist Roger Adams when he added hydrogen molecules to delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol.

Hydrogenation modifies the structure of delta 9 THC by replacing a double bond with two hydrogen atoms. In other words, HHC is the most stable form of THC. It is highly resistant to oxidation, heat, and UV light.

Other benefits HHC is believed to have apart from its pain-killing effects include; relief from anxiety, euphoria, relaxation, cerebral and bodily intoxication, reduced inflammation, relief of nausea and vomiting, and better sleep.
