What Is HHC Pre Roll?

HHC infused pre rolls are ready-to-smoke hemp joints filled with Hexahydrocannabinol-rich hemp flowers. Hexahydrocannabinol (HHC) is a hydrogenated tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) derivative. HHC is found in trace amounts in the cannabis plant, but it is typically produced synthetically.

HHC has a chemical structure similar to THC, with the addition of two hydrogen atoms. This hydrogenation slightly changes the structure, making it more stable and less prone to oxidation and degradation than THC.

Unlike THC and CBD, which are naturally present in high concentrations in the cannabis plant, HHC is found in very small amounts in cannabis.

If you wonder what comprises an HHC pre roll, the main elements included are: HHC extract, hemp flower, rolling paper, and filter or crutch.

So, does HHC get you high? Yes, it does!  HHC is psychoactive but generally considered to be less potent than THC and more potent than CBD.

HHC Pre Roll: Composition and Characteristics

Composition

HHC (Hexahydrocannabinol) pre rolls are a relatively new addition to the cannabis market. They offer an alternative to traditional THC products. These pre rolls usually consist of finely ground hemp flowers infused with HHC, a semi-synthetic cannabinoid derived from hemp.

The hemp flower used in these pre rolls is often organically grown and processed to preserve its natural terpenes and cannabinoids, improving the overall experience. HHC is chemically distinct, made in a lab from CBD extracted from low-THC cannabis or hemp. The process of hydrogenation adds extra hydrogen atoms to CBD, transforming it into HHC.

The different forms of HHC

HHC comes in many different forms, from gummies to HHC-packaged flowers, there are many to choose from.

If you have a sweet tooth, you will want to pick up a package of HHC gummies. They are sweet, produce relaxing effects, and are easy to use. Even with one gummy, you can feel the calming effect of HHC. Remember that a gummy may take up to two hours to produce effects because it passes through the digestive system. 

But if you need something that gets to the point fast, we recommend the HHC vape cartridge. Unlike HHC gummies, HHC vape produces effects after a minute of vaping.

When it comes to the most natural type of HHC, and what we consider the best is the HHC flower. To get HHC flowers, the process begins with naturally grown hemp. Once fully cured, the hemp flower is coated in a layer of HHC extract. This way, users can taste the natural terpene content while experiencing the wide range of effects from HHC, CBD, and other hemp-derived cannabinoids.

Effects and Benefits of HHC Pre Rolls

Psychoactive effects

The high of HHC is often described as more subtle and clear-headed compared to THC. Consumers usually report a sense of euphoria, relaxation, and improved focus without the intense psychoactive effects and potential anxiety that THC can sometimes cause. HHC provides a smoother, less overwhelming high, making it suitable for those who prefer a more controlled experience. 

On the other hand, THC, especially Delta-9 THC, is known for its potent psychoactive effects, which can lead to strong euphoria and altered perception of time and space. Yet, THC can also cause side effects such as paranoia and anxiety, especially if taken in high doses.
