HHC Frequently Asked Questions

For every honest, quality-driven brand offering HHC products online today, countless others are selling inferior and possibly unsafe products. Unfortunately, some products marketed online as pure HHC aren’t hemp-derived at all and are illegal and potentially dangerous. Other online products contain high Delta-8 THC or Delta-9-THC levels (also illegal).

Read on for frequently asked questions about HHC. If you have additional questions, please contact us at info@forgehemp.com, we’d love to hear from you.

In a nutshell, HHC (Hexahydrocannabinol) is one of the hundreds of cannabinoid molecules produced by the hemp plant. HHC is found naturally in low quantities in hemp seed parts and pollen. HHC has a unique chemical structure that is different from any type of THC, but produces similar effects in humans.

Because hemp plants produce so little HHC naturally, it must be derived in other ways…unless you’re willing to pay $1000 for a gram of HHC? Didn’t think so. The process starts with raw hemp plants that are extracted and refined to become pure CBD (cannabidiol) isolate. Then the powdered CBD undergoes a chemical reaction to become THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) distillate. Lastly, the THC undergoes a controlled phase of hydrogenation, similar to processes used to produce food oils. Despite the process, the finished product is molecularly identical to HHC produced by the hemp plant.

As with any cannabinoid, it’s effects and benefits may vary from person to person, but most folks who love HHC describe a relaxing and euphoric experience.

When it comes to the benefits of HHC gummies, it can help you unwind at the end of a long day or provide mood-boosting relaxation. While many people simply enjoy our products recreationally, others consume our gummies to enhance calmness, focus, sleep, and support their overall well-being.

As with any new cannabinoid product, start low and go slow the first time! Half or a third of a gummy can be a good place for hemp beginners to start. Keep in mind that it can take an hour or more for the full effects of any hemp edible to be felt. Give it time, or you could over-do it. If you know you have a high tolerance for THC, apply that experience to HHC.

Yes, Forge Hemp Co gummies are safe for adults in moderation, according to your own unique tolerance. And while HHC might be new to you, it’s not new to everyone.

HHC has undergone extensive safety testing on humans and animals since the 1940s. So while there’s still lots to learn about this fascinating cannabinoid, it’s safe to keep exploring.

That said, brands are still marketing and selling poor-quality, potentially dangerous products misrepresented as HHC. We want to ensure you have a safe and enjoyable experience, so we’re committed to sharing the information you need to make informed HHC purchases.

HHC is legal thanks to the 2018 Farm Bill that legalized cannabinoids containing 0.3% or less Delta-9 THC. However, due to updated state laws, we do not ship HHC to several states.

As states update their local laws, as many have done for Delta-8 THC, the rules for HHC could change. We’ll always do our best to stay up to date on state regulations, but ultimately buyers are responsible for adhering to local laws regarding hemp products.

In all cases, you should be cautious and only buy HHC from reputable suppliers (like Forge Hemp Co).

We can confidently say that Forge Hemp Co produces the highest-quality, most consistent, and safest gummies available today.

We’re passionate about quality and transparency, and that’s why each Forge Product comes with a full lab report from a reputable 3rd party. We also think they’re the most delicious gummies in the game!
