HHC (Hexahydrocannabinol) is a minor cannabinoid that is found in the cannabis plant. It is structurally similar to THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) and is believed to have similar effects, but with some differences.
HHC is thought to work by binding to the CB1 and CB2 receptors in the endocannabinoid system (ECS) of the body. These receptors are involved in regulating a wide range of biological processes, such as appetite, pain, mood, and sleep. When HHC binds to these receptors, it can produce various effects, including pain relief, relaxation, and altered perception.
One of the main differences between THC and HHC is that HHC is believed to be less potent than THC, meaning that it may produce milder effects at lower doses. Additionally, HHC has a different chemical structure than THC, which may affect how it interacts with the ECS.
