The prohibition of HHC in several European countries such as France, Sweden and Finland has brought to the fore new cannabis-like enteral molecules that are essentially derived from the processing of HHC.
What is HHCPO?
HHCPO is a synthetic cannabinoid derived from HHCP, which is derived from HHC. It is not found naturally in the cannabis plant and its production involves a chemical synthesis process in a laboratory. Their creation involves a specific molecular structure and are associated with potential relaxation and euphoria effects, although their exact mechanisms of action remain to be determined.
Products containing HHCPO are slowly starting to appear on the cannabis market and need to be treated with great care. According to testimonials, HHCPO offers psychotropic effects similar to those of THC, but even more potent. Consumers of HHCPO-based products describe feelings of intense relaxation and remarkable euphoria.
However, the power of the HHCPO comes with responsibilities. It is not suitable for pregnant women and is prohibited for minors.
Currently, HHCPO is not classified as a drug, making it technically legal.
What is C4B?
C4B is a new substance that is gaining increasing attention in the cannabis industry. C4B is an acronym for "Cannabinoids for Boost". C4B is a molecule derived from the photochemical degradation of cannabichromine (CBC) in the presence of light and heat. This transformation creates C4B, which is distinguished for its unique chemical structure. After photochemical degradation is completed, C4B is isolated and extracted from the cannabis plant. Extraction is usually performed using solvent extraction methods such as supercritical CO2 or ethanol. These methods make it possible to separate C4B from the other compounds present in the cannabis plant while maintaining its purity.
The cannabinoids found in C4B interact with receptors in the endocannabinoid system in our brain, which can promote feelings of calm, relaxation and well-being.
The main difference between the H4B and the HHC is that C4B is characterized by a unique ring conformation, while HHC results from a reduction reaction that changes the structure of CBD.
C4B is still a relatively new molecule, which means that scientific data on its effects and properties are limited. Technically it is legal.
What is HSD?
HSD is an innovative molecule extracted from Cannabis sativa, also known as industrial hemp. This molecule results from a synergistic combination of specific cannabinoids and carefully selected terpenes but does not exist as such in nature. HSD offers a unique experience stimulating the body. Unlike psychoactive substances, this molecule provides a sense of energy without altering mental clarity. The effects of HSD unfold gradually, including physical and mental well-being for a period of 30 minutes before gently disappearing.
Like any active substance, HSD could also cause unwanted side effects. These effects may vary from person to person and depend on factors such as individual sensitivity, dosage and frequency of use.
Some possible side effects of HSD could include headaches, nausea, sleep problems, increased heart rate or a temporary increase in anxiety in some people.
So it looks like the companies have found a way to get the legal high. We wait to see what happens next.
