New cannabinoids have appeared in the market in recent years that generate curiosity and questions among consumers. One of the most recent is HHC (hexahydrocannabinol), a semi-synthetic compound that has gained popularity in some cannabis stores. Although there are many specialized stores that promote it as an alternative to THC, we do not recommend its use or market products derived from HHC.
In Dr. Greentom CBD We stand firm in our decision to not recommend HHC nor its derivative products.
In this blog, we explain what HHC is and why we believe it is not the best choice for your well-being.First of all, what is HHC?
HHC (hexahydrocannabinol) is naturally found in the cannabis plant, although in small quantities. Even so, HHC products that are marketed today are produced from industrial processes in laboratories.
HHC is a semi-synthetic cannabinoid that is obtained by modifying the chemical structure of THC through hydrogenation. This chemical process transforms THC into HHC by adding hydrogen atoms to its molecular structure, which gives it greater stability compared to light and heat.
The result is a cannabinoid that, although related to THC, has different properties and effects, but it remains psychoactive, which means that it can generate an alteration in perception or mental state similar (although less predictive) to that of THC.
In Dr. Greentom CBD strongly believes in offering products that promote well-being without compromising the safety or health of our customers. Therefore, we do not recommend HHC or any of its derivative products. Here are our reasons.
Long-term unknown effects:
One of the main reasons why in Dr. Greentom CBD does not recommend HHC is the lack of solid scientific studies that support its long-term security. While CBD and other cannabinoids have been widely investigated for their beneficial effects and safety profile, HHC remains a relatively new compound, with little evidence of its impact on human health.
As of today, there are no conclusive data on the possible side effects of prolonged consumption or the risks that such consumption may entail.
Since we are a shop committed to the natural and well-being of our customers, we cannot recommend a product without being sure it is safe and effective. In Dr. Greentom CBD We do not recommend any products that are not supported by rigorous scientific studies that demonstrate their safety and effectiveness.Possible psychoactive effects:
Although HHC is often promoted as a "legal" alternative to THC, it remains psychoactive. Many users report having effects similar to those of THC, such as a mood alteration, euphoria, and changes in perception.
In Dr.
Greentom, we focus on products that have no psychotropic effects like CBD.Dudose legality and lack of regulation:
HHC also raises legal doubts. In Spain, the regulation of cannabis and its derivatives is strict. CBD is legal whenever it comes from the industrial hemp and contains less than 0.3% of THC, but HHC is not within the regulated and approved substances for sale and consumption. This means that HHC's legality is ambiguous and may vary depending on the interpretation of local laws.
In Dr.
Greentom CBD we work under the current regulations and make sure all our products are completely legal and safe. At present, the HHC legal situation does not give us sufficient guarantees to recommend it to our customers.Lack of quality and safety control:
As a relatively new cannabinoid, the HHC market lacks strict regulation that does have other products derived from hemp, such as CBD. This means that many of the HHC-containing products do not go through proper quality controls or have certifications that guarantee their purity and safety.
There are concerns about the contamination of these products with solvents or other chemicals used in the hydrogenation process, which could pose additional risks to consumer health.
In Dr. Greentom CBD only works with CBD products that have been subjected to rigorous laboratory tests and meet the highest quality standards and HHC does not meet these criteria.
Potential health risks:
Since HHC is a semi-synthetic compound, it is important to take into account the potential risks that might arise for health.
As a cannabinoid that is not naturally found in hemp in large quantities, its synthesis process can result in the formation of unwanted chemical by-products. Furthermore, the fact that it has not been studied sufficiently leaves in the air possible negative interactions with other medicines or health conditions.Why in Dr. Greentom CBD we bet on CBD?
CBD (cannabidiol), unlike HHC, has been extensively researched and used worldwide for its benefits. In addition, it is legal in many countries, including Spain, provided it comes from hemp and complies with the regulations.
In Dr.
Greentom CBD offers cannabidiol products of the best quality, completely legal and that have passed through strict quality controls. We are proud to provide our customers with products that promote well-being without unnecessary risks or adverse side effects.In Dr. Greentom CBD does not recommend the use of HHC or any of its derivative products due to the lack of scientific research on its long-term effects, its psychotropic nature and the lack of quality regulation and control, as well as the possible health risks that its consumption might have. Our commitment is to provide our customers with safe, effective and legal products, and CBD remains the most reliable option for those looking for a natural option that does not compromise their well-being.
