HHC

HHC, chemically known as hexahydrocannabinol, was first discovered in the 1940s by a chemist named Roger Adams through a process called hydrogenation. Adams added two hydrogen molecules to Delta-9 THC, the primary psychoactive compound found in cannabis, to convert THC to HHC, Way of Leaf reports. While Adams synthesized HHC from cannabis-derived THC, today, it can also be converted from hemp-derived cannabinoids such as Delta-8.
