What is 10-OH-HHC?
10-OH-HHC, or 10-hydroxyhexahydrocannabinol or even ohhhc for close friends is a semi-synthetic cannabinoid derived from HHC (hexahydrocannabinol). It is attracting growing interest in the cannabis enthusiast community and among researchers to its unique properties and potential effects.
Definition and origin
THE 10-OH-HHC is a metabolite of HHC, itself obtained by hydrogenation of THC. This molecule is the result of a chemical modification aiming to create a compound with properties similar to THC, but with distinct characteristics.
Chemical composition
The molecular structure of 10-OH-HHC is close to that of HHC, with the addition of a hydroxyl group at position 10. This subtle difference gives the 10-OH-HHC unique properties which distinguish it from other cannabinoids.
Effects of 10-OH-HHC
10-OH-HHC is renowned for its moderate to strong psychoactive effects. Users report a feeling of euphoria, relaxation and well-being, often described as more intense than that of HHC but more controllable than that of THC.
Potential therapeutic effects
Although research is still limited, 10-OH-HHC could have interesting therapeutic properties:
Analgesic effect
Anti-inflammatory properties
Antiemetic action
Neuroprotective potential
Comparison with other cannabinoids
10-OH-HHC vs HHC
THE 10-OH-HHC is distinguished from the HHC by psychoactive effects generally more pronounced. Users report a more intense and satisfying experience with 10-OH-HHC.
10-OH-HHC vs THC
Compared to THC, 10-OH-HHC offers a more balanced alternative. It provides similar psychoactive effects, but with better management of unwanted side effects like anxiety or paranoia.
10-OH-HHC vs CBD
Unlike CBD which is non-psychoactive, 10-OH-HHC produces moderate psychoactive effects. It thus combines the therapeutic properties of CBD with an additional euphoric dimension.
Methods of consumption of 10-OH-HHC
Vaporization
Vaporization is one of the most popular methods to consume 10-OH-HHC. It allows a rapid absorption and precise dosage control. E-liquids and 10-OH-HHC vape cartridges are increasingly available on the market.
Other methods
10-OH-HHC can also be consumed in the form of:
Infused flowers
Resins
Sublingual oils
Edible products (gummies, candies)
Consumer reviews of 10-OH-HHC
Feedback from users of 10-OH-HHC is generally positive. Many enjoy its relaxing and euphoric effects, as well as its therapeutic potential. Some considered an interesting alternative to THC, providing a more controllable experience.
However, as with any cannabinoid, effects may vary from person to person. It is recommended to start with low doses to assess individual sensitivity.
Legal aspects and security
The legal status of 10-OH-HHC varies by country. In many jurisdictions it is not explicitly regulated, which places it in a legal gray area. It is crucial to inquire about local legislation before use.
In terms of security, although the 10-OH-HHC appears to have a similar risk profile to other cannabinoids, further research is needed to fully assess its long-term effects.
