With the passing of the 2018 Farm Bill and less stringent cannabis laws in some states, the cannabis industry has grown at a superfast rate. With Cannabidiol and Delta 9 (THC) products abound on the market today. Now, the focus is slowly turning to lesser-known cannabinoids like HXC.

You may have heard of HXC Hemp, HXC THC, HXC Delta 8, or just HXC, and you’re probably wondering what that means. So, what is HXC hemp, or what is HXC Delta 8? Well, HXC, which is also known as HHC or Hexahydrocannabinol, is a naturally occurring cannabinoid. Although it was discovered in the 1940s, it has only become popular in recent months. It is technically different from THC, Delta 8, and other cannabinoids, although it is a form of THC.

HXC has a similar chemical structure as THC, and they’re often described as cousins. If we get a bit more technical, HXC is actually a hydrogenated form of THC. It is the most stable form of THC. Since it is only found in trace amounts in the hemp plant, manufacturers synthesize it from THC with hydrogenation. The process changes the chemical structure of THC, replacing the double bond chemical structure with hydrogen atoms. The process of hydrogenation makes HXC more stable. Its potency doesn’t degrade when it is exposed to heat and ultraviolet light.

Is HXC Legal?

HXC’s legal status is unclear. While it is naturally found in the hemp plant, it can also be synthesized in the laboratory. Since it is generally made from hemp extracts, HXC is technically legal under the 2018 Farm Bill.

HXC is THC-free. This means it may be legal in all 50 states in the U.S., and shouldn't show up in lab test results. This makes it perfect for people in states where both hemp and cannabis products have not been legalized. When shopping for HXC Products,  you might want to consider choosing only HXC hemp products.

What are the Benefits of HXC?

HXC produces a similar psychotropic effect as THC. You get the same feeling of euphoria and upliftment that is associated with potent Sativa strains. The biggest perk of HXC is that it produces a clear-headed buzz. You do not get the muddle-headed feeling that is associated with some cannabis strains. It is perfect for relaxing and stimulating your creativity.

Just like CBD, THC, and other cannabinoids, HXC has numerous potential benefits. It offers many of the same therapeutic benefits that you’ll get from THC. The process of hydrogenation increases HXC’s binding affinity to the endocannabinoid receptors and TRP pain receptors. This makes it potentially useful for providing extended relief from pain.

There are not many studies to investigate the potential health and therapeutic benefits of HXC. The consensus is that further studies are necessary to outline the scope of its benefits. What is clear at the moment is that HXC is a delightful alternative to THC and has a major appeal among recreational users.

Top HXC Brands

Numerous brands are offering HXC products. Not all HXC products have the same quality, so it is advisable to choose products from top brands. Some of the trustworthy manufacturers of HXC products are Exhale Wellness, Delta Extrax, and Modus. Here's what a Cat Speidel had to say about Modus HXC Disposable on a recent online review:

Was talked into purchasing this disposable at my local vape shop because they were raving about it. They were being serious as heck. As someone who has tried many many different cannibinoids, this hxc stuff feels closest to what we all know and love. We got the Mochi strain. It’s only the first couple nights but me and my husband are enjoying it, I can’t say what the long term effects will be like. Hopefully great!
