HHC is a synthetic chemical that mimics the effects of THC. It differs chemically from THC found in cannabis plants but shares structural similarities.

HHC, like THC, has been linked to psychoactive effects such as mood changes and pleasure. However, the effects and potency may vary.

The production of synthetic cannabinoids such as HHC is frequently motivated by research, pharmaceutical development, or efforts to establish legal alternatives to natural cannabinoids. However, research into the safety and long-term consequences of synthetic cannabis is currently underway.
HHC has received less scientific attention than cannabinoids such as THC and CBD. Due to a dearth of study, thoroughly understanding its pharmacology, possible therapeutic benefits, and related hazards is difficult.
