HHC Capsules

HHC Capsules – Pop In for A Good Time

HHC capsules are the perfect way to reap the buzzy benefits of hexahydrocannabinol. HHC is one of the most popular cannabinoids on the market to date, and it’s for good reason! The compound is strikingly similar to THC, but with a little bit less of a kick. This means users of HHC can still enjoy the classic effects and benefits of cannabis’s favorite compound without the incredibly intense potency.

But all HHC products can give you these benefits and effects, so what makes HHC capsules so special? HHC capsules are the easiest, most convenient way to ingest the cannabinoid. No vaping, no chewing, and no dropping—it’s just an easy pill to swallow!

What Are HHC Capsules?

Capsules containing HHC are exactly what they sound like: prefilled, swallowable capsules. What's the advantage of using capsules over other HHC products? The answer is simple. They're easy to use, easy to dose, and extremely discreet. They're consumed orally, like edibles, but without flavoring or chewing.

You can use HHC capsules as part of your daily morning or night routine or on the go, as they are the easiest and most convenient way to consume HHC.

What is HHC?

HHC, short for Hexahydrocannabinol, is a hydrogenated version of THC and is one of many cannabinoids found in the cannabis plant. This compound was discovered by chemist Roger Adams in the 1940s and is obtained by saturating hemp-derived THC with hydrogen atoms using high pressure and a catalyst. Although its effects are similar to regular THC, HHC is about 70% as potent and falls between delta 8 and delta 9 in terms of psychoactive strength. While trace amounts of HHC can be found in cannabis plants, chemists must use a complex process to obtain usable quantities of the compound, starting with isolating CBD and then converting it into THC before hydrogenating it into HHC.

Are HHC Capsules Legal?

HHC capsules are legal according to the Farm Bill of 2018. The Farm Bill, also known as the Agriculture Improvement Act, legalized hemp and its derivatives on a federal level. This removed hemp from the list of controlled substances, making it legal across the United States. However, some states have imposed strict regulations or outright bans on hemp-derived cannabinoids such as HHC. Thus, although it is legal at a federal level, the legality of HHC varies depending on the state.

That said, some states have taken the steps to heavily restrict or completely ban cannabinoids derived from hemp, so even though it is federally legal, HHC is not legal in all 50 states. Currently, the compound, and therefore capsules containing the compound, are illegal in:

• Arizona
• Arkansas
• Idaho
• Illinois
• Mississippi
• Nevada
• New York
• North Dakota
• Utah
• Washington

Additionally, while not explicitly stated, HHC is also most likely illegal in:

• Alaska
• Colorado
• Delaware
• Hawaii
• Kentucky
• Rhode Island
• Vermont

Understanding the Different Capsules Available at Diamond

While HHC capsules are a terrific asset to keep close, we offer other types of capsules here at Diamond CBD. A variety of our cannabinoids and compounds actually come in capsule form, so if that’s your preferred method of ingestion, we’ve got good news: you’ve got a wide variety to choose from! But before you make any decisions, it’s important to understand the differences and similarities between the effects of all these capsules.

Here's a chart to help you understand the effects and benefits of each type of capsule we offer:

The type of capsule you choose will depend entirely on the range of properties you want to gain. Additionally, another important thing to look out for is whether or not these compounds are psychoactive.

How to Take HHC Capsules

HHC capsules are as easy to take as any other capsule. In order to take these products, just grab a capsule from the packaging and swallow it as you would any other pill. Make sure you follow the instructions on the packaging and don't take more than the recommended dose. Drinking some water won't hurt, either!

As opposed to gummies or vapes, HHC capsules cannot just be cut in half or taken in smaller quantities than they are supposed to. In order to decipher how much to take and how different dosages of HHC will affect you, be sure to understand your body’s tolerance levels.

As dosing varies based on factors such as age, weight, metabolism rate, and desired effects, we recommend different dosages based on tiers of experience:

• Beginners: 5-12mg
• Intermediate: 12-30mg
• Pro: 30-60mg+

Benefits of HHC Capsules

In and of themselves, HHC capsules have many benefits. First of all, no one will question you popping a capsule because they look like any other health supplement, and their small and unassuming container means you can take them virtually anywhere without a second thought. Second, they're extremely easy and convenient to use, meaning you get to get buzzed without having to work for it. They're also easy to dose because you know exactly how much HHC is in each capsule, reducing the chance of overconsumption. 

HHC is the perfect cannabinoid for balancing your buzz. It is stronger than delta 8 and weaker than delta 9. As an analog of THC, HHC shares most, if not all, of delta 9's benefits. This means that, apart from a moderately strong high, HHC also offers benefits such as:

• Alleviation of pain
• Relief from anxiety
• Induction of relaxation
• Stimulation of appetite
• Enhancement of sleep quality

Are HHC Capsules Safe?

Since HHC has only been rediscovered recently and is now derived from hemp, there hasn't been enough research conducted to determine its exact parameters. Although the safety profile of HHC isn't very rich, there haven't been any reports of any adverse effects, overdoses, or death related to it.

Because HHC is close to delta 8 and delta 9, researchers speculate that its benefits and side effects are similar to those of the two compounds. Like its cousins, HHC can cause some not-so-desirable side effects, including:

• Anxiousness
• Paranoia
• Difficulty sleeping
• Dizziness
• Dryness of the mouth
• Redness of the eyes

Additionally, the FDA does not monitor hemp-derived cannabinoids, so it's up to individual companies to set safety standards for hemp-derived cannabinoids. This means that the most important step to ensuring your products are clean and safe is choosing the right cannabinoid retailer.

All Diamond products are safe, pure, and effective. Our manufacturing process adheres to the highest standards, free of harmful additives, carcinogens, and other chemicals. Besides being made from organic, American-grown, and pesticide and herbicide free hemp, our cannabinoids are carefully and precisely extracted by scientists committed to their safety.
