Cannabis

and its main compounds

Cannabis is a versatile plant that has been used for millennia for medicinal, recreational, and industrial purposes.

It consists of several active elements called cannabinoids, with the most well-known being THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) and CBD (cannabidiol). Each of these cannabinoids interacts with the human body's endocannabinoid system, providing a wide range of effects. In addition to THC and CBD, the cannabis plant contains other lesser-known cannabinoids, such as HHC, which also have potential effects on the body. With the advancement of research and the growing acceptance of cannabis in various parts of the world, we are learning more about these compounds and how they can be used. Below, we explore in detail one of these emerging cannabinoids and the legal status of THC in Spain.

What is HHC?

(Hexahydrocannabinol)

HHC, or hexahydrocannabinol, is a lesser-known cannabinoid found in the cannabis plant. Like THC and CBD, HHC has unique properties and potential effects on the body. Although research on HHC is in its early stages, it is believed to provide effects similar to THC but with differences in its chemical structure that may influence its action in the body.
