Power level lies between the two as well. Unlike THC-H, HHC-H is not stimulating at all and is more calm. Viscosity HHC-H has a high viscosity. It is hard to push out of a syringe at room temperature. Is it a phytocannabinoid? (naturally occurring cannabinoid) HHC-H i s a not phytocannabinoid (as far as we know - it could be found but it has not been found yet). My Opinion I'm a fan of HHC-H - it's another strong noid that lies between THC-B and D9 THC-P in potency just like its non-hydrogenaded counterpart. It is very similar in feeling to THC-H, with the high euphoria and body high being the highlights . However, HHC-H is much more chilled out than THC-H. The feeling of not being able to think clearly is gone as well. The price and availability of this noid are the two biggest problems it has, being only carried by a few vendors. The prices also leave something to be desired when the phorol cannabinoids can be had for cheaper and they are stronger.

A quick overview of what this website is and why it exists. About This Website Hi! My name online is Turkey, and I am the creator of this website. Everything that is on this website is written by me unless stated otherwise. I am not and will not ever be sponsored by any cannabinoid company. This website is for people who love this hobby or are trying to get some relief, not for companies trying to take a buck. A Q uick Q&A What made me make this site? There are three reasons: The first is obvious if you've had the displeasure of trying to search Google for pretty much any answer about this stuff that isn't written by an SEO company for their client who is trying to sling gummies. This means most of these writers have never in their life vaped the thing they are writing about. It's all Chat GPT-sounding answers and recanned Wikipedia articles that tell you nearly nothing. I wanted there to be a place for people like me to go and get answers for niche questions without being sold to every 5 seconds. The second reason was to improve the quality of conversation in the discord and prevent the same questions being asked over and over by newbies. Finally, the third and most important reason was to educate myself. I am learning along the way, and when I write down things it helps when it comes to remembering it. Are you qualified in any way? No. I have been smoking weed for 12 years now and dabbing for about 8, but I have no kind of formal scientific education whatsoever. Everything on this site is me attempting to document cannabinoids the best a fella like me can.

Power level lies between the two as well. D9 THC-H D9 Tetrahydrocannabihexol (Hexyl D9 THC) Viscosity THC-H has a mildly high viscosity. It is very hard to push out of a syringe at room temperature. Is it a phytocannabinoid? (naturally occurring cannabinoid) THC-H i s a phytocannabinoid My Opinion THC-H is quickly gaining popularity and for good reason. The main effects of this noid are euphoria and body high, making it highlight many people's favori te part of weed. It's strong, about 3/5 potency of D9 THC-P. Hits faster than THC-P but slower than THC-B. The body high can be compared to a D9 edible, very tactile. It is also slightly stimulating and very creative but your brain goes pretty dumb so it's hard to apply that stimulation to anything other than tasks like art or video games. I also get an"all over the place" type of feeling like I get with CBT. Definitely a lot of fun but not something I'd use while trying to remain productive.

A summary of all the info you need to know about D8 THCBo including effects, structure, opinions, links and more. THIS IS ALL MY OPINION BASED ON MY EXPERIENCE, NOT SCIENTIFIC FACT! THIS IS NOT MEDICAL ADVICE! Structure of D8 THCBo Viscosity D8 THCBo has a low viscosity. It can be pushed out of a syringe at room temperature. It should be noted its the thickest acetate so far, but it remains thin in comparison to most other cannabinoids. Is it a phytocannabinoid? (naturally occurring cannabinoid) THCBo i s not a phytocannabinoid. My Opinion D8 THCBo is good for creative work the most as its highly stimulating and dreamlike which is a pretty unique combo for an acetate. It reminds me a whole lot of THCPo but just more stimulating. When it comes to the classic quick comeup and comedown you get with THC-B, here it's still present but a bit more stretched out. The initial effects still hit fairly quick, but the time to peak is longer. To combine with that, D8 THCBo has a comedown that isn't as harsh and sudden. The stimulation is also less likely to cause anxiety as it's not as aggressive as the stimulation you get on THC-B. Overall D8 THCBo seems to be a really fun choice for getting creative work done but it lacks price appeal. Other notes: N/A Effects (Community) On Mobile?

A summary of all the info you need to know about D9 THC-B including effects, structure, opinions, links and more. THIS IS ALL MY OPINION BASED ON MY EXPERIENCE, NOT SCIENTIFIC FACT! THIS IS NOT MEDICAL ADVICE! Structure of D9 THC-B Viscosity THC-B has a very high viscosity. It cannot be pushed out of a syringe at room temperature. Is it a phytocannabinoid? (naturally occurring cannabinoid) THC-B i s a phytocannabinoid My Opinion THC-B is a noid that the impatie nt among us will love. Unlike most of the other strong alts that take longer to hit than D9, THC-B actually is noticeably quicker. Adds a lot of head high and stimulation to the beginning of a high and is great when paired with a phorol cannabinoid. A great novelty for sure, but a hard value proposition when the phorols are stronger and usually cheaper. A lot of people like THC-B specifically for edibles because of the quick onset. For the fastest results, try making a water-soluble powder with it! If I had to try and explain how it feels using other noids I'd say it feels like a Phorol noid combined with D8 and CBG.

(naturally occurring cannabinoid) 8-OH-HHC is not a phytocannabinoid, however, it can be produced in your body when you eat HHC, which is a phyto. My O pinion As a novelty 8-OH-HHC is a lot of fun. Being able to "vape an edible" just because its not something you could normally do does indeed make my dumb caveman brain happy. However there is not really a good reason to eat 8-OH-HHC unless maybe you have trouble feeling edibles any other way, but even then I'm not sure if it would work for you. Eating HHC is a decidedly cheaper and easier way to feel the same way. The power level is between THCo and THC-H. Also oh my lord this shit is so hard to work with. It doesn't melt until like 170f and resolidifies so fast when removed from heat. What can 8-OH- HHC do for a blend? Add a fun novelty factor Make a blend more "heady" and heavy behind the eyes. A good kick around the 20ish-minute mark Other no tes: Because of its bad availability those who do have 8-OH-HHC price it way too high to justify using it instead of (in my opinion) better and cheaper noids like THCp. Unlike other hydrogenated noids, with 8-OH-HHC you are looking for the S diastereomer Shout out to HighAsDuck for the following expl anation: Similar to HHC itself stereochemistry at the 9-Methyl group (9S vs 9R) can vary as well as well as the stereochemistry of the hydroxyl group (8beta vs 8alpha). The 8alpha (Alpha-8-OH-HHC (8S,9S) isomer is more potent) It's reportedly very physically stable and can be broken like chunks and can be touched without sticky residue like other distillates.

My O pinion In a very similar vein to 8-OH-HH C, 10-OH-HHC would be a really fun noid to include in many vape blends IF it were not so hard to get ahold of and expensive. It allows you to "vape an edible" (even though you are missing some of the other metabolites that your body produces when you normally eat HHC). That in and of itself is quite novel and fun. The power level seems to be somewhere between THCo and THC-B. For the price, it is not a good deal. BUT, if it were say, 10 or 15 dollars a gram, then there would be a real place for it in the market. It was only available for a short while from a few vendors here in the US. It seems to me that there is still some 10-OH-HHC for sale overseas, but I really don't know for sure. I really don't want to see either of the metabolites go away as I feel like the only thing stopping them from being a fan favorite is price. What can 10 -OH- HHC do for a blend?

It occurs naturally in high amounts in the cannabis plant. THCa on its own is not psychoactive, but once heated it is converted into D9 THC. Both D9 and D8 are iso m ers of THC. What's an isomer? An isomer is the same formula but has a different arrangement of atoms in the molecule and different properties. What's an analog? Chemical analogs are two chemical compounds that have structures that are similar to one another. They will usually differ only in the possession of a particular functional group or substructure. What are some good noids to start with? To start out I’d recommend you get some D8, CBD, CBG, and HHC/CBN. With these ingredients, you can make some great blends and they are all very low cost. Are these noids found in nature? Most of these noids are indeed phytocannabinoids (Naturally occurring cannabinoids). They have all been found within the plant with the following known exceptions: THCo, HHCo, THCPo, HHCPo, HHCv, HHCh. These noids, while being directly related to THC, have never been found in nature. Ok, so how are the alt noids made? CBGa can be directly turned into THCa, CBDa, CBCa, or CBG. As for the other noids,they can make them from modifying one of the listed noids in any number of ways. (there are a few exceptions to this rule, namely the phorols like THCp). Basically, they take CBGa they extract from biomass (kinda like shake from a farm) and then start fucking with the molecule till it's to their liking. So there is a real argument to be made that there's something "unnatural" about it. **HOWEVER** Natural doesn't mean good - cyanide is natural. So are bobcats and spikey rocks. A chemical is itself no matter where it's derived from. Rather that place be harvested directly through the plants or synthed from CBGa - the chemical itself stays the same. The natural-ness of a chemical does not have anything to do with its safety profile. These noids are indeed new to mass consumption, but all of our current knowledge points to all these alts being safe. Is this stuff like spice or other dangerous synths I used to hear about? No, “spice” “K2” and other synthetic cannabinoids have no relation to the cannabis plant at all. I was under the impression, as are a lot of people, that the reason those noids were more dangerous was because they were full agonists, however, that is not true. The real reason is that structurally unrelated drugs like indoles have nothing in common with classical cannabinoid benzopyrans like THC besides the receptor they hit. Their structural difference is likely the reason for problems because every indole noid has problems no matter how weak or what substitution while classical canna inside benzopyrans don't seem to cause issues despite heavy modifications. So does that mean it’s safe? Yes, no, and maybe. I will say with certainty that cannabinoids that are based on traditional THC/CBD have proven to be VASTLY safer than traditional synthetic cannabinoids like “K2”. From a very, very anecdotal standpoint, I have consumed many grams of Alt Cannabinoids over the course of the last 3 years, and my side effects are not noticeable. Compared to smoking just D9, these last 3 years have been far more clear-headed and nice. Once again, take this with an enormous grain of salt as I could develop issues later in life, and also, I’m just one person, I could just be getting lucky. These new noids aren’t exactly “new”, they were mostly all discovered far before the year 2000, but they have only recently hit the market, and outside of the lab, this is the first time they are being consumed, especially at large scale. What I’m saying here, is that by participating in this community/movement/whatever you want to call it, you are actively engaging in taking drugs that exist in an unregulated and unstudied market. When looking at the available science, it seems to me everything will be okay - but we have thought that a lot of times in the past (for example we put tetraethyl lead in gas before we knew better), so please know you are in uncharted waters.
