Summary
Hexahydrocannabinol (HHC) is a cannabinoid analogue that has been marketed as an "alternative cannabinoid" since 2021. It is a saturated cannabinoid, meaning it has no double bonds in its chemical structure, which differentiates it from other cannabinoids such as THC. The mechanism of action is binding activity at cannabinoid receptors distributed throughout the body.
