A new addition to our zoo: What is 10-OH-HHCP?

Welcome to 10-OH-HHCP! This cannabinoid is new not only to our zoo, but to the entire cannabis kingdom! 10-hydroxy-hexahydrocannabiforol is not a species found in the wild — it is a unique compound, specially bred in a laboratory ⚗️.

10-OH-HHCP is a hydroxy derivative of HHCP. It is formed when a hydroxyl group is added to HHCP through oxidation.

HHCP is also produced synthetically from HHC by adding two carbons to the side chain. Unlike 10-OH-HHCP and HHCP, HHC also occurs naturally in the cannabis plant.

An unknown creature in action: Properties of 10-OH-HHCP

10-OH-HHCP has only been known for a short time, so unfortunately there is not enough research to describe how it works. What we know about it so far is based on analogies with other inhabitants of the cannabinoid zoo, especially those with whom it shares a family tree. The cannabinoid 10-OH-HHCP has psychoactive effects.

We know that cannabinoids act in the body through the endocannabinoid system. This system regulates a wide range of processes, from mood to immune response. It consists of a network of receptors, endocannabinoids and enzymes. The main receptors include:

• CB1 receptors: mainly present in the nervous system, they mainly affect mood, perception and the psyche
• CB2 receptors: mainly present in organs, they mainly affect pain, inflammation and immunity

10-OH-HHCP should be no exception and should act on the body through this system. 

Like its predecessor HHCP, 10-OH-HHCP has a seven-carbon side chain. It is this extended side chain that is responsible for its strong binding to CB1 receptors. It is therefore assumed that, like HHCP, 10-OH-HHCP acts on these receptors and induces effects that may manifest themselves, for example, in the form of: 

• relaxation
• feelings of euphoria
• altered perception
• increased appetite

Typical side effects of psychoactive cannabinoids include dry mouth, red eyes, increased heart rate, drowsiness, headache, nausea, dizziness, or even anxiety, paranoia and hallucinations.

Who is king of the jungle?: 10-OH-HHCP vs. HHCP and HHC

10-OH-HHCP, HHCP and HHC are cannabinoids from the same family, but they differ significantly from each other.

As we already know, HHC is at the beginning of the family tree. It is a psychoactive cannabinoid that occurs naturally in cannabis, but only in small amounts. Therefore, it is produced synthetically for industrial use, usually from CBD.

HHCP does not occur naturally in cannabis and is produced in the laboratory from HHC. It has a tail extended by two carbon atoms 🐒, which means it binds better to CB1 receptors than HHC. Its effects should be stronger and last longer than those of HHC.

10-OH-HHCP is formed from HHCP by adding a hydroxyl group. Because of this, it has lower chemical stability, low bioavailability and undergoes rapid metabolic breakdown, which should result in a shorter duration of effects.

Let's take a look at the main differences between the members of this cannabinoid "pack".

	HHC	HHCP	10-OH-HHCP
Origin	Found in small amounts in cannabis, produced synthetically in industry	Produced synthetically, a derivative of HHC	Produced synthetically, hydroxy derivative of HHCP
Psychoactive effects	Yes	Yes	Yes
Chemical stability	Stable	very stable	unstable
Duration of effects	long	very long	Shorter

As you can see, the only cannabinoid from this group that occurs naturally in the cannabis plant is HHC. HHCP is its successor, created in a laboratory, a strong and persistent predator 🐆. 10-OH-HHCP is a newcomer that focuses more on a faster onset of effects than on persistence. 

Who is king of the jungle depends mainly on whether you prefer strength, stability or immediate effect.

But don't forget that HHC and HHCP cannabinoids are already banned or classified as controlled substances in a number of European countries.

In what form can you encounter 10-OH-HHCP?

Although we don't know much about 10-OH-HHCP yet, you will often find it on the shelves of specialised shops.

Vapes 💨

Vaporisers convert cannabinoid-containing refills into vapour that can be inhaled. The advantage is that there is no combustion and no associated production of harmful substances. The effects of inhaled substances are rapid due to the rapid absorption of the substance into the bloodstream via the lungs 🫁.

On the market, you will find not only disposable pre-filled 10-OH-HHCP vape pens, but also cartridges and refills for reusable devices available in various concentrations and flavours.

Flowers and prerolls

Dried cannabis flowers enriched with 10-OH-HHCP are also available, including whole flowers, crushed flowers and prerolls — pre-rolled joints filled with flowers containing the cannabinoid 10-OH-HHCP.

Hash and other concentrates

10-OH-HHCP is also available on the market in the form of hash and other concentrates. These products are characterised by a strong aroma and unique bear power 🐻.

Time to leave the enclosure: What have we learned about 10-OH-HHCP?

10-OH-HHCP is a new addition to CannabiZoo, bred in the laboratory 🧪. Like its predecessor HHCP, 10-OH-HHCP has psychoactive effects and can induce relaxation and euphoria, but also dry mouth and eyes, increased heart rate, nausea, dizziness, anxiety, paranoia and hallucinations 🌀.

You can find 10-OH-HHCP in the form of vapes and vape refills, flowers, prerolls, hash and other concentrates.

⚠️ If you decide to get acquainted with this exotic creature, be extremely careful!
