What Is HHC-P?

New cannabinoids are being discovered from time to time. Before, if you looked at the hemp market, you could only find CBD and Delta 9 products. However, you’ll now find Delta 8, Delta 10, THC-O, THC-P, THC-B, HHC, and many other cannabinoids in local and online dispensaries. 

Another novel cannabinoid, HHC-P has been discovered for its potential effects on the body. It does sound similar to HHC but it has a couple of different characteristics. How is HHC-P different from HHC? How can it affect the body? This article explains what HHC-P is, and if it is suitable for you. 

What Is HHC-P?

HHC-P aka hexahydrocannabiphorol, is an alternate version of HHC, a cannabinoid that is said to be more stable than Delta-9. Like HHC, HHC-P naturally exists in trace amounts in hemp and exhibits psychoactive properties. Thus, it interacts with the endocannabinoid system in our body to induce a euphoric high.

HHC-P exists in minute quantities which isn’t sufficient for production at a commercial scale. To obtain a large yield of HHC-P, manufacturers synthesize it from hemp-derived THC-P. Through a process called hydrogenation, THC-P is converted to HHC-P by adding hydrogen molecules with the help of a chemical in the presence of a catalyst. 

How Is HHC-P Different From HHC?

Unlike HHC-P, HHC is made by hydrogenating hemp-derived Delta-9 THC. Both HHC and HHC-P induce intoxicating effects of varying intensities. The strength of the euphoric high caused by HHC is less intense than HHC-P. The effects created by HHC-P also last for a much longer amount of time than HHC and other cannabinoids. 

You’ll also find that most products such as vape carts, tinctures, and distillates only have small percentages of HCC-P mixed inside of them. This is because HCC-P is much more potent than HCC and can create strong and overwhelming effects if not consumed or handled with care.  

How To Look For Good HHC-P Products?

What Is HHC-P

We all know the struggle of looking for reliable sources that sell good cannabinoid products and have difficulty in trusting them as well. When looking for good HHC-P products, there are some factors that you need to keep in mind. They include:

  • Good Reputation Of Brand/Store

You may not know it but the reputation of a brand plays a major role in helping you make a decision about a specific cannabinoid product. You shouldn’t even consider purchasing from a brand or a store if they don’t have a good reputation. 

The best way to check for their reputations is by visiting their social media pages, watching influencers review their products, and even checking out and reading customer reviews about all of their products. 

  • Read Customer Reviews

One of the most important factors to keep in mind when looking for HHC-P products is reading customer reviews. Every brand and store has reviews written about them and their products. By reading customer reviews, you can find out more about a brand and its products. It can also help you find out what customers think of a certain product and find out whether the quality of the product is in good condition or not. 

Reading customer reviews gives you a clear idea of what to expect from a brand’s product and it also helps you in making the right decision when choosing a specific product. 

  • Check For COA (Certificate Of Analysis)

Many brands and stores have a COA (Certificate Of Analysis) linked on the page of their websites. A COA is a legal document that contains information about a brand and its products. It also contains information about the potency levels of the products as well as third-party test reports that confirm whether there were any harmful chemicals and ingredients used during the manufacturing process of the products.

If you’re planning on purchasing an HHC-P product of a brand or store but can’t find their COA, then it’s best to avoid purchasing their products. As they might contain harmful chemicals that could be dangerous to your health. 

5 Frequently Asked Questions

  • Is HHC-P Legal?

HHC-P is considered legal in the US according to the 2018 Farm Bill which states that all cannabinoid products that are derived from hemp are legal as long as they don’t contain more than 0.3% of THC in them. 

  • Can HHC-P Make You Fail A Drug Test?

It is very likely for HHC-P to make you fail a drug test. This is because most drug tests are designed to pick up traces of THC in your system. This is also why it’s best for you to wait until HHC-P has completely left your system before taking a drug test so that it doesn’t test positive. 

  • How Is HHC-P Similar To CBD?

There aren’t many similarities between HCC-P and CBD in the first place. This is mainly because CBD doesn’t contain any THC and doesn’t create any strong psychoactive effects. Whereas HCC-P does contain THC and can create strong and intense psychoactive effects. 

  • What Is The Cost Of HHC-P?

The cost of HHC-P can range from $20-$30 depending on where you purchase it from and the type of HHC-P product you’re purchasing. 

  • Can HHC-P Products Lose Their Potency?

Exposure to sunlight, heat, or light can cause HHC-P products or any other cannabinoid products to not only lose their flavors but also their potency. This is why it’s important that you store your HHC-P products in dark and cool places such as cabinets, drawers, and even fridges. 

Conclusion – Is HHC-P Suitable For You?

HHC-P is a highly potent cannabinoid that can create strong and intense highs and effects. It’s been recommended that beginners should start by consuming small dosages of HHC-P and then slowly increase their dosages once they feel their tolerance building. 

It’s also important to keep in mind that you shouldn’t consume past your tolerance levels and only people who have tolerances can consume high dosages of HHC-P. If it’s difficult to measure your dosages then you could always follow some type of dosage guide as well.
