THCH, or D9-tetrahydrocannabinexol, is a phytocannabinoid that resembles THC, but with a six-membered alkyl chain instead of a five-membered one. This makes it about 10 times more potent than THC in terms of psychoactive potency.
THC-H is a unique cannabinoid distinguished by a longer n-hexyl side chain consisting of six carbons, which distinguishes it from Delta-9 THC, which has a 5-carbon side chain. The chemical structure of THC-H allows it to bind more readily to brain receptors, making it particularly more potent than Delta-9 THC. In fact, THC-H chemicals bind to receptors with 10% greater affinity than traditional THC.
Tetrahydrocannabinhexol was only discovered in 2020 - in fact, by the same team of cannabis researchers in Italy who discovered THC-P (tetrahydrocannabinphorol) just a year before. The cannabinoid has been isolated and analyzed to some extent, but as far as studies on its therapeutic uses are concerned, we'll have to wait and see, as it always takes time for clinical researchers to fully study the newly discovered cannabis derivatives.
What we know so far is that THC-H is considered, according to the researchers who discovered it, the second most psychoactive cannabinoid in cannabis after THC-P. As for what its high is like, many compare it to THC-P.
This means that with tetrahydrocannabinone, you can expect a deep sense of euphoria along with a relaxing feeling in the body and mind. In fact, this cannabinoid seems to have a special reputation for its body, which people say is unreal. Another interesting thing to note is that people say that THC-H's high lasts longer than what we normally expect from psychoactive cannabinoids - maybe twice as long, according to consumers.
Again, since tetrahydrocannabinexol is still extremely new - one of the newest cannabinoids discovered, in fact - you're not going to find clinical data and studies on its potential therapeutic uses, such as effects on inflammation, migraines, anxiety, sleep, appetite and so on. These studies take time to do and the cannabinoid has not been around long enough. At the same time, these studies should not be rushed, so it is important to be patient as they will be done as the popularity of THC-H increases.
Of course, keep in mind that all cannabinoids work with various cannabinoid receptors throughout the body in order to regulate physiological functions. In other words, THC-H can certainly do more than just get us high-we just don't know the specifics of its uses yet.
THC-H is a very potent compound that should be consumed with caution, as its effects can be overwhelming if you overdose or your tolerance is low.
