What Is HHC?
The semi-synthetic compound was first discover
The cannabinoid craze continues as HHC, chemically known as hexahydrocannabinol, has hit the scene as one of the latest hemp-derived newcomers.
Like delta-8 THC, delta-10 THC, and other related cannabinoids, many questions revolve around what HHC is, its legal status, where it comes from, and more.
While HHC seems to be emerging into the spotlight recently, it’s not exactly new.
The semi-synthetic compound was first discovered in the 1940s by a chemist named Roger Adams through a process called hydrogenation. Adams added two hydrogen molecules to delta-9 THC, the primary psychoactive compound found in cannabis, to convert THC to HHC, Way of Leaf reports.
While Adams synthesized HHC from cannabis-derived THC, today, it can also be converted from hemp-derived cannabinoids such as delta-8, according to Roger Brown, the president and founder of ACS Laboratory, a cannabis, hemp, and CBD testing laboratory in Florida.
