What is THCH and What are THC-H Effects?

Vad är THCH och Vad är THC-H Effekter?

What is THC?

THCH was first isolated by a group of Italian researchers in 2020 and is a potent psychoactive cannabinoid and hexyl homologue of delta 9 THC . It was discovered by the same researchers who identified THCP (in the same marijuana strain). Both of these compounds are rare, but they are likely capable of powerful intoxicating effects.

Regarding its natural availability in cannabis, THCH extremely limited. It is even rarer than other cannabinoid tracers such as HHC or delta 10 THC . Naturally occurring THCH has only been identified in the cannabis strain FM2 , a variety found primarily in Italy. It is entirely possible that small amounts THCH also found in other strains; we just don't have the research to confirm or disprove this.

Obviously, an Italian marijuana strain is not a viable source of THC-H for commercial production in Sweden. The cannabinoid must instead be chemically converted from legal CBD – the same process by which delta 8 and other hemp-derived compounds are manufactured. Conversion of THC-H from legal and well-available CBD makes the new cannabinoid cost-effective for manufacturers.

Does THCH get you high?

Yes, according to user reports THC vaping or to otherwise consume THCH make you high.

We're still not sure exactly how strong THC-H is when ingested, but it may have a greater or similar potency as delta 9 THC . This would make THC-H to one of the few hemp-based cannabinoids that match its marijuana-derived counterpart.

Some sellers claim that THC-H is anywhere from five to 25 times as strong as delta 9 THC . But none of these claims have been confirmed by science, so take them with a grain of salt. Since we have no way to quantify the exact potency of THC-H right now it's best for new users to play it safe and start with small doses. Take a few moves with your THC vape or a small part of one THCH candy . Then wait for the effects to kick in and see how you feel. If you feel comfortable increasing the dose, you can continue.

What are the effects of THCH?

Apart from the fact that THCH is intoxicating, we do not know the details of its recreational or medicinal effects. Some users have claimed that THC-H helps with pain relief and mood elevation – typical effects of most cannabinoids. More research is needed to show its full range of benefits.

Currently, no research has been conducted on the effects of THCH conducted on human participants.

It is worth noting that while the effects of THC-H are mostly unknown, CBD-h (the hexyl homologue of cannabidiol, which was discovered at the same time) appears to have therapeutic potential. This closely related cannabinoid had an antinociceptive effect in mice . In short, the administered CBD-H blocked the mice's neurons from perceiving pain.

THC-H compared to delta 9 THC

It is difficult to compare the effects of THC-H with delta 9 THC . While delta 9 THC has undergone decades of research, it was discovered THC-H recently and we have only begun to understand its effects . User anecdotes account for most of what we know about the impact of consuming THC-H .

As homologs have delta 9 THC and THC-H a very similar molecular structure. The main difference lies in the length of each cannabinoid's side chain. Delta 9 has a five-carbon chain, and THC-H with six carbons.

The size of this chain potentially points to THC-H binds more effectively to human cannabinoid receptors. We await research to find out exactly how the alkyl side chain of THC-H affects its “binding affinity” and strength.

Some users claim that THC-H produces a stronger high than delta 9, although this is purely anecdotal. In any case, it seems likely that THC-H is a powerful contender, regardless of how it stacks up against delta 9 THC.

What is the difference between THC-H and THCP?

It is easy to draw parallels between THCP and THC-H , because the compounds were introduced by the same team of academics — and just a year apart. THC-H and THCP however, have notable differences in their structures.

For comparison, THCP a side chain that is much longer than delta 9 THC. This seven-carbon chain may allow for THCP to bind more effectively to CB1 and CB2 receptors.

THC-H on the other hand, has a chain built of six carbon atoms. Although this is slightly longer than delta 9 THC , is it shorter than THCP . We do not know to what extent this will affect the influence on the endocannabinoid system, and how its potency will compare to THCP's.

Can THCH show up on a drug test?

Of course, we all understand that marijuana is ruled out before a drug test, but that doesn't mean you can substitute a hemp-derived form of cannabinoid.

Cannabinoids such as delta 8 THC – and probably THCH – will just as likely show up positive in the results. These tests don’t look for the compound itself. Instead, they look for something that shows up much longer in the body: metabolites.

More specifically, drug tests are designed to detect THC-COOH. Traces of this secondary metabolite can linger in your system for weeks. Hair tests, while rare compared to a routine urine test, can identify THC consumption up to three months after your last use.

Is THCH legal in Sweden?

THCH products is completely legal in Sweden.

Where to buy THC?

THCH products is a new type of cannabis compound. Finding this product can be challenging as it is relatively new and not yet widely available in stores. Despite this, there are some online stores that provide the best THCH products ; however, the most prominent retailer on the market for this item is Kiosk Igloo
