HHC-O — Hexahydrocannabinol-O-Acetate

What is HHCO?

HHCO is one of the newer cannabinoids making its way into vapes, edibles, and pre-rolls.  However, HHCO is much weaker in effect compared to e.g. HHC and various other cannabinoids. What’s interesting about HHCO is its hydroxylated structure. In simpler terms, it has one or more hydroxyl groups (-OH) attached to its molecular backbone, which is what puts the ‘O’ in HHCO. This subtle tweak in its structure isn’t just for show—it makes HHCO supersoluble, meaning your body can absorb more of it compared to HHC. So, what does that mean for you? Expect differences in the onset, duration, and intensity of its effects.

Is HHC-O Legal?

Wondering if HHCO is legal? Right now, it’s still considered legal in many European countries and US states, but the law can change quickly—so it’s a good idea to check your local regulations before making a purchase.

And here’s an interesting note: Because of its synthetic nature, researchers believe HHCO might not show up on a drug test. But, since it’s derived from hemp, trace amounts of THC could still sneak in, so make sure to keep this in mind

Vaping HHC-O

HHCO vape pens are specifically designed to vaporize HHCO distillate. They work just like regular vape pens but are loaded with HHCO instead of traditional cannabis extracts. The cartridges come in varying concentrations, so check the label to know what you’re getting into.

If you’re new to vaping HHCO, start small—seriously. Begin with a low dose and work your way up. And whatever you do, make sure to buy from reputable sources. Quality matters.
