Does HHC Get You High?

Yes. HHC will cause intoxication, albeit not at the same level as the delta-9 THC you find in marijuana.

Those who have used it say HHC effects are similar to THC, including euphoria, altered auditory and visual perception, and changes in cognition. In general, you can expect effects closer to delta-8-THC in terms of relaxation. However, other users claim they feel energetic with a sharper mind.

 

HHC, which is short for hexahydrocannabinol, is a hydrogenated form of THC naturally present in varieties of cannabis. HHC is also considered semi-synthetic when chemically hydrogenated from THC. It’s thought to be roughly 70-80% the strength of THC, meaning it’s more potent than delta-8 and delta-10. Mild-to-moderate doses of HHC induce a euphoric high similar to THC but with more relaxing and sedative qualities akin to delta-8.

 

HISTORY and SCIENCE:

Meanwhile, a 2011 study looked into a pair of HHC analogs, LYR-7 and LYR-8. It found that the compounds could potentially inhibit tumor cell growth and angiogenesis, a major step in forming tumors.

A study published in 2010 found that HHC’s effects lasted a long time in rats. Overall, apart from the limited research outlined in this section, there is nothing else to link HHC with the benefits claimed by manufacturers. Certainly, there are no studies on humans that provide any insight.

 

 

Apart from suggestions that it has painkilling potential, HHC could have the following benefits:

  • Relief from anxiety
  • Euphoria
  • Relaxation
  • Cerebral and bodily intoxication
  • Reduced inflammation
  • Alleviation of nausea and vomiting
  • Improved sleep

 

Does HHC Show Up on a Drug Test?

It’s unclear whether HHC shows up on a drug test.

Drug tests are designed to detect THC-COOH, a primary metabolite of THC that’s formed in your body after THC consumption.

An early study on animal test subjects shows HHC metabolizes into 8alpha-hydroxy-HHC and 8beta-hydroxy-HHC, which are both similar to THC-COOH.

Does this similarity mean HHC metabolites are detectable through drug testing? Researchers aren’t sure. No other studies exist to prove whether or not HHC metabolites are detected by drug screenings or responsible for triggering false-positive results.

There’s also the added issue of HHC products carrying residual or leftover THC after chemical hydrogenation. If the residual THC quantity is enough for your urine to present above 50 nanograms per milliliter of THC-COOH after metabolization, you’re at risk of failing a drug test.
