What is an HHC puff?
A
puff of HHC is a puff enriched with hexahydrocannabinol, a semi-synthetic molecule derived from the
hemp plant and discovered during the 1940s. It is the American chemist
Roger Adams, who is at the origin.
Today,
HHC is found in many products, including vapes and puffs. Less known than the vape, the CBD puff is becoming extremely popular all over the world.
This vaping tool was born in 2019. It comes straight from the Golden State of California. It is notably thanks to social networks and marketing to the point that it quickly aroused interest and buzz. A product used by a young population, therefore!
Like the vape,
the HHC puff is small in size and therefore very handy. It can be taken everywhere, comes in many formats and is often offered for sale, at a really very affordable price. Finally, remember that it is legal!
Puff and vape HHC, dangerous for health?
Despite these few positive points, the
HHC vape is singled out. Indeed, many believe that the puff would promote addiction. The reason? Some puffs would contain a level of
nicotine which, even light, remains sufficient to cause addiction.
However, while this is probably true for “classic” puffs, it is not so for HHC-based products. Indeed, these puffs contain nothing other than this cannabinoid:
- no nicotine;
- no PG/VG base;
- no vitamin E and B6;
- no trace of CBD or THC.
In other words, it is a "pure" product. However, be careful. Indeed, HHC remains a new molecule and further studies must be carried out in order to better understand it.
Are HHC puffs and vapes legal?
As explained above, hexahydrocannabinol is still a relatively unknown molecule. For the moment, many questions arise as to its real effects and its impact on the body. The only certainty, the HHC contained in your vapes and puff is neither legal nor illegal.
Much like in the days of CBD,
HHC is in a grey area. It is, therefore, your responsibility to buy and consume this type of product. For more information on the matter, do not hesitate to contact us.
The last point finally, the HHC puff and the
HHC vape do not contain any trace of THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), the psychoactive molecule of the
cannabis plant. Although it is authorized at 0.2% in a CBD product, it is perceived as a narcotic product.
