Hexahydrocannabiphorol-Propyl (HHC-P) is a powerful synthetic cannabinoid derived from HHC (hexahydrocannabinol).

Some users say that HHC-P makes them feel similar to THC, which might be the most potent cannabinoid in the whole plant.

Let’s take a look at everything you need to know about HHC-P, including its chemical structure, effects, and how to get the most out of the cannabinoid.

What Is HHC-P?

HHC-P is synthetic, which means it’s derived from natural cannabinoids in the hemp plant rather than one that occurs naturally.

Professionals create HHC-P in a lab using a process called hydrogenation, which adds two carbon atoms to the molecular structure of HHC, adding extra potency. Hydrogenation also expands HHC-P’s shelf life and makes it less prone to breaking down.

The “P” in HHC-P stands for the cannabinoid’s propyl side chain, which changes how HHC-P interacts with your body’s cannabinoid receptors. This small difference in HHC-P’s molecular structure makes the cannabinoid even more powerful.

How Does HHC-P Compare to THC?

Delta-9 THC stands for Delta-9 Tetrahydrocannabinol, which is the main psychoactive component in cannabis products like flower and edibles.

Both THC and HHC-P are psychoactive (they both will get you high,) but according to cannabis researchers, their effects are a bit different:

• Potency: HHC-P is thought to be more powerful than both THC and HHC because it binds to CB1 receptors with a stronger affinity. This makes HHC-P extra appealing to seasoned vets on the lookout for new cannabinoids to try.

• Longer Duration of Effect: The effects of HHC-P tend to last longer than THC’s effects. You can expect an especially long-lasting high from

  concentrates, which are some of the most powerful cannabis products out there.

• Balance: The hydrogenated form of HHC can produce a more balanced, smooth high, especially when it’s paired with cannabinoids like CBD and THCv.

What Are the Effects of HHC-P?

When you use products that contain HHC-P, you can expect a combination of these effects:

• HHC-P may make you hungry. One of the most common effects among many psychoactive cannabinoids is appetitive stimulation, and HHC-P is no exception.

• HHC-P can also make you feel very relaxed. When combined with cannabinoids like CBD and THCv, it’s even more calming and soothing.

• This cannabinoid may also support creativity and deepen your appreciation for art, music, and more. Many users report feeling inspired, which is one of the most amazing effects of HHC-P and high-quality products containing HHC-P

• Just like all cannabinoids, HHC-P has some potential mild side effects like dry, red eyes and dry mouth.

HHC-P Products: What To Try

There are plenty of different ways to enjoy HHC-P alongside more well-known cannabinoids. We recommend trying a few of the products below to see what suits you best:

HHC-P Vapes

Vaping is a simple and convenient way to experience a euphoric high, and the rise of disposable vape pens has made it easier than ever.

When you vape, your pen heats up a cannabis-infused vape cartridge, releasing the psychoactive effects of the cannabinoids inside. With an HHC-P vape, you get a powerful, long-lasting high coupled with some incredible flavors and aromas.

As an added bonus, hitting a vape is ultra-relaxing. Unlike smoking a bong or dabbing, there’s no setup involved, which makes this cannabis consumption method just about as low-maintenance as it gets.

HHC-P Edibles

Edibles are yummy and discreet, and they come in quite a few different forms. You can find HHC-P gummies, tinctures, and more, and each of these products gives you a different cannabis consumption experience.

If you’re just getting started with cannabis, edibles are a fantastic launchpad. However, they can be very potent, so you may want to begin with a smaller amount — half of a gummy, for example.

HHC-P Prerolls

These easy-to-use joints are loaded up with an optimal amount of flower. You can find HHC-P-rich flower to enjoy via smoking, either as a preroll or by rolling your own.

HHC-P Concentrates

Concentrates are loaded with cannabinoids and terpenes, the most flavorful and psychoactive parts of the cannabis plant. Like edibles, these products come in many different forms, including hash, moonrocks, diamonds, and more.

You’ll need a dab rig, a vape, or another smoking mechanism to enjoy concentrates in most cases, but you can also consume these highly potent products in edibles. They’re perfect for seasoned cannabis vets who want an intense and long-lasting high.

Other Cannabinoids To Know About

HHC-P is far from the only cannabinoid out there, and it often coexists with other psychoactive compounds in cannabis products like edibles and vapes.

Here's a little information about a few of the cannabinoids that you might see paired with HHC-P and the effects you can expect from them:

Delta-8 THC

This cannabinoid is typically found in low concentrations in cannabis plants, and it has about half the psychoactive power of its close relative, Delta-9 THC. This difference means that you can expect a milder high from Delta-8.

Delta-9 THC

Delta-9 THC is what people typically mean when they say “THC.” It’s the most naturally abundant form of THC in the cannabis plant.

This cannabinoid binds to the CB1 receptors in your body’s endocannabinoid system, which can produce a powerful high.

Delta-10 THC

We know less about Delta-10 THC compared to Delta-8 and Delta-9, but we do know that its effects are very similar to Delta-9. However, Delta-10 is thought to be less potent.

THCa

Tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCa) is the precursor to THC found in the cannabis plant.

Without exposure to heat, THCa doesn’t have any psychoactive effects. When heated, it becomes more potent.

THCp

Tetrahydrocannabiphorol (THCp) is a powerful phytocannabinoid found only in small amounts in the cannabis plant.

THCp can be up to 33 times better at binding to cannabinoid receptors, which makes it one of the most powerful compounds in cannabis.

THCv

Tetrahydrocannabivarin (THCv) is a psychoactive cannabinoid that can potentially amplify some of the effects of THC. It’s sometimes referred to as “diet weed” because of its appetite-suppressing effects.

CBD

Cannabidiol (CBD) is a minor cannabinoid that can have a calming effect. CBD isn’t psychoactive on its own, but it’s often paired with other cannabinoids that are.

How To Get Started With HHC-P

HCC-P can be very potent, so it may be a better fit for seasoned cannabis veterans. However, you can always start small with any cannabinoid, see how you feel, and increase your intake when you’re ready.

FAQs About HHC-P

Q: Will HHC-P make me feel high?

A: HHC-P has psychoactive effects that can be even more powerful than THC. This potent cannabinoid will get you high, and you might feel the effects for several hours.

Q: Will HCC-P make me fail a drug test?

A: Since HHC-P is a psychoactive cannabinoid, it will show up on a urinalysis drug test for as long as 90 days after use. If you know you have a drug test coming up, skip all cannabis products for at least three months — just to be safe.

Q: Is HHC-P legal?

A: The Farm Bill changed the way that cannabinoids like HHC-P are regulated, which ultimately changed the legal status of HHC-P.

Introduced in 2018, this bill classifies cannabis products as hemp if they contain less than 0.3% Delta-9 THC by weight.

Under the Farm Bill’s regulations, products containing HHC-P and other cannabinoids are now available in many US states. Before you order, make sure you know your state’s specific regulations for hemp products.

Q: How is HHC-P different from CBD?

A: Like HHC-P, CBD is a popular cannabinoid that can enhance your cannabis experience. The big difference between these two cannabinoids is simple: HHC-P is psychoactive, but CBD isn’t. That means that in order to get high, you’ll need a CBD product that combines cannabidiol with other cannabinoids.
