Is Converting CBD Into HHC Safe?
What Do Studies Show About HHC’s Safety?
How Do You Know If The HHC You Are Purchasing Is Legitimate?
HHC, short for Hexahydrocannabinol, is a hemp derivative created by first transforming CBD into THC and then converting THC into HHC. While the idea of consuming a modified cannabinoid might seem intimidating, it's actually more common than you might think. To ensure you get a high-quality product, we always recommend buying HHC from trusted sources.
Is Converting CBD Into HHC Safe?
In today's world, we consume synthesized or converted products almost every day. Many prescription pills and medicines are made with synthesized ingredients to offer mass-market products more easily. Without the ability to synthesize, key ingredients for medicines would be scarce, leading to massive price increases or making the medicine unavailable.
What Do Studies Show About HHC's Safety?
Unfortunately, there haven't been many studies on HHC to prove its effects, good or bad. However, a few studies have been conducted.
Colorado Chromatography (CC) was the first lab in the world to offer HHC oil on a large scale. With the growing popularity of this new cannabinoid, CC conducted some third-party studies. A nonclinical in vitro safety assessment was carried out by Charles River Laboratories. This study tested for mutagenicity, heart safety, cytotoxicity, and liver damage.
The study concluded that:
- HHC was not mutagenic at reasonable dosages.
- HHC did not inhibit any critical potassium channel, reducing one potential cardiovascular risk.
- Preliminary evidence suggests orally ingested HHC was non-toxic.
- Liver damage was of very low concern.
So, while a few studies have been completed, there is still limited evidence to support any positive or negative effects of HHC. Personally, we love HHC and consume it nearly every day.
How Do You Know If The HHC You Are Purchasing Is Legitimate?
With many HHC brands on the market, not all are created equal. Here are a few key things to look out for when purchasing an HHC product to increase your chances of getting a high-quality product:
- Always check for a QR code that leads to a Certificate of Analysis (COA), also known as a lab test. (Click HERE to learn more about COA’s)
- Ensure the product has a Batch ID and Expiration date.
- Make sure the packaging has a proper barcode.
- Look for brands that seal their vapes in tamper-proof mylar bags to guarantee the product has not been tampered with.
- Look for well-designed packaging with little to no typos.
- Only purchase pure HHC products. Many brands sell blends that also contain other cannabinoids, so make sure the product you are purchasing only contains HHC.
- Purchase from a professional-looking online website or from one of the nicer smoke shops in your area.
