Understanding THC-H
Your Comprehensive Guide to Tetrahydrocannabihexol
At The Botany Bay, we want to help you explore and understand the growing range of cannabinoids available in the hemp market. THC-H is a naturally occurring cannabinoid first identified in cannabis in 2019. Early reports suggest it may be one of the more potent cannabinoids due to its longer carbon side chain compared to Delta-9 THC, although research is still limited.
What is THC-H?
THC-H stands for Tetrahydrocannabihexol. The “hexol” refers to its six-carbon alkyl side chain, which is longer than Delta-9 THC’s five-carbon chain. This difference may influence how THC-H interacts with the body’s cannabinoid receptors.
Like THC-JD, THC-H is only present in cannabis in trace amounts, so most THC-H products on the market are made by converting hemp-derived CBD into THC-H through specialized lab processes.
How THC-H Works in the Body
There is very little published research on THC-H, but it appears to interact primarily with CB1 receptors in the endocannabinoid system, much like other forms of THC.
According to anecdotal user reports, THC-H may:
Feel more potent than Delta-9 THC at similar serving sizes
Have a longer duration of effects for some users
Produce both mental and physical sensations
These reports are based on user experiences, not clinical trials. Potency and effects can vary greatly depending on the individual and the product.
Legal Status of THC-H
Under the 2018 Farm Bill, hemp-derived cannabinoids with less than 0.3% Delta-9 THC by dry weight are federally legal in the United States. However, THC-H is psychoactive, and some states have moved to restrict or ban it.
Always check your state and local laws before purchasing or using THC-H products.
Reported Effects of THC-H
Anecdotal user reports suggest THC-H may:
Produce intense psychoactive effects in small servings
Have a longer-lasting experience than some other cannabinoids
Offer a different balance of head and body effects
These effects are not proven, and individual responses can vary widely.
How to Use THC-H
THC-H is available in:
Vape Cartridges & Disposables — Fast-acting, popular among experienced users
Edibles & Gummies — Slower onset, longer-lasting effects
Tinctures — Flexible serving sizes, can be taken sublingually or in food
Concentrates — High potency, intended for advanced users
Due to reported potency, start with a very low amount and wait before taking more.
