HHCP
HHCP is a cannabinoid that’s becoming more popular with hemp users who want a slightly different experience. If you’re curious about what it can do, SMOKEA® has the perfect selection of HHCP products for you to try!
What Is HHCP?
HHCP, or hexahydrocannabiphorol, is a cannabinoid derived from traditional THC, specifically a hydrogenated form of THCP (tetrahydrocannabiphorol). This means that hydrogen atoms have been added to the molecule. Hydrogenation makes the compound more stable, so it has a longer shelf life and some extra protection from light, heat, and air.
The hydrogenation process also changes the way the compound interacts with your body. HHCP’s molecular structure is designed to be even more potent than THC or THCP due to its stronger binding affinity with CB1 receptors in the brain, which are responsible for the psychoactive effects of cannabinoids.
What Does HHCP Do?
HHCP has a more potent effect than those of THC and THCP. Users report a much stronger, longer high with intense euphoria, deep relaxation, and sometimes altered sensory perception. It’s also common for people to report that HHCP leads to feelings of excitement and happiness.
In addition to the psychoactive effects, many users enjoy the strong, comfortable body high that often comes with this cannabinoid. These effects are also said to be longer-lasting compared to other cannabinoids, which can be especially desirable for users looking for sustained relief or a more prolonged high.
HHC vs HHCP
Because they have similar names, HHCP is often confused with HHC (hexahydrocannabinol). However, the two compounds are very different. HHC is hydrogenated THC, made with a similar process– but the similarities largely end there. HHC is known for being mildly psychoactive, somewhere between CBD and THC, while HHCP is very potent. HHC moves through your system relatively quickly, while HHCP is known for the length of the high.
HHCP is also a lot newer than HHC, making it an intriguing, exciting prospect for cannabis users looking for something new. It was first synthesized in November of 2022 and is currently available in fewer products than HHC, although new HHCP products are in development every day.
HHCP vs THCP
Another cannabinoid that often gets confused with HHCP is THCP. THCP is HHCP’s parent molecule. Unlike HHCP, THCP does occur naturally in the hemp plant, but it is found in very small amounts. This means that the THCP used in THCP products and used to synthesize HHCP is itself synthesized from naturally occurring CBD.
Most users say that HHCP is even stronger than THCP. Like THCP, HHCP has an extra-long alkyl side chain and a 7-carbon tail, which means that the CB1 bonds (and psychoactive effects) these two cannabinoids form are stronger and last longer than many other cannabinoids. However, the hydrogenation process gives HHCP an even longer alkyl side chain, which may contribute to its more powerful and longer-lasting impact.
Using HHCP
Because HHCP is synthesized from the compounds that naturally occur in cannabis, it’s not a cannabinoid that is typically found in the flower—unless the buds have been infused. The most common ways to use an HHCP product are to vape it, dab it, or use it in another concentrated form. To stay safe while vaping HHCP, it’s important to make sure that your carts come from reputable sources that do third-party lab testing to make sure there are no harmful chemicals.
HHCP is safe to use, but it’s important to remember how powerful its potency is. There’s a reason people call it the king of cannabinoids! For the best experience, you should start low and slow until you’re used to its effects. Even if you’re an experienced user, HHCP’s potency is likely higher than you’re familiar with—even small amounts can lead to intense experiences!
HHCP Vapes
An HHCP vape is any disposable vape pen or vape cartridge that uses HHCP as the primary active ingredient. They may have only HHCP, or they may include other cannabinoids for a more potent effect. These vapes utilize HHCP distillate, a concentrated form of the cannabinoid, which is vaporized and inhaled using a pen or other device. Vaping HHCP allows for rapid absorption into the bloodstream, leading to a quicker onset of effects compared to other consumption methods.
The Best HHCP Vape
Finding the best HHCP vape for you depends on what you want your HHCP experience to be, but there are a few non-negotiables you should have. You deserve products that offer transparency in sourcing, manufacturing processes, and lab testing results. High-quality HHCP vapes should be free from harmful additives and accurately labeled regarding cannabinoid content.

Once you’ve identified a safe source of HHCP, the next step is to choose a product! Keep HHCP’s potency in mind as you shop around, and check out what other users have to say in the reviews. Consider what they say about their experiences, and consider your own as well; your tolerance level and familiarity with cannabis use is going to impact how your body reacts to HHCP.
Other Ways to Use HHCP
Not sure you want to vape HHCP, or prefer other consumption methods over vaping? Dabbing is another popular way to use HHCP. HHCP dab wax works like any other dab wax, so you’ll need a dab rig to use it. If you like the smooth hits that come through the filtration a water pipe offers, HHCP dab wax might be for you. You can also sometimes find HHCP edibles; as this new cannabinoid becomes more popular, it’s likely that we will see more creative ways to enjoy it hitting the market!
