Our customers have reported positive results from using both Delta 8 and HHC, but it is important to do your own research and consult with a doctor before making any decisions.

What is HHC?

While HHC is naturally produced by the cannabis plant, it does so in minor amounts. A more effective and fruitful method for producing HHC is via the hemp plant. It may be interesting to learn how HHC is manufactured but most consumers are more curious about matters that directly affect them. Generally, people want to know how to consume it, the potential wellness benefits it may have, and what kind of products may contain it.

What is Delta 8?

Delta 8 is a type of cannabinoid found in hemp and cannabis plants. Delta 8 is similar to Delta 9 THC, but with a few differences that make it less psychoactive. Delta 8 has a lower psychotropic effect than Delta 9, making it a more moderate option for those seeking a balanced high. It can provide a mild energetic effect while providing a sense of relaxation.

So, what’s the main difference between HHC and Delta 8?

The main difference between HHC and Delta 8 is that Delta 8 is a more potent form of THC, with Delta 8 having levels up to 90% higher than those found in HHC. Delta 8 also has a more intense and longer-lasting psychoactive effect, making it more suitable for medicinal use as opposed to recreational use.

The legality of Delta 8 and HHC varies from state to state. In some states, these products are considered legal, while in other states they may be considered illegal under state laws. Check with your local jurisdiction for more information about the legality of Delta 8 and HHC in your area.

Do I need a prescription for Delta 8 or HHC?

No, you do not need a prescription for Delta 8 or HHC. However, it is important to remember that all forms of cannabis, including Delta 8 and HHC, are still subject to state and federal laws.

HHC & Delta 8: Indica or Sativa?

HHC and Delta 8 aren’t necessarily classified as Indica or Sativa, but these cannabinoids can individually have similar effects. HHC can offer a more “sedated” high, making it feel like an Indica, while Delta 8 has been reported to have energizing effects similar to a Sativa.

However, at Fern Valley Farms, we treat a range of cultivars with our HHC and Delta 8 Distillates. This allows you to experience Indica, Sativa, and Hybrid cultivars, while receiving the benefits of these amazing cannabinoids!

HHC vs Delta 8: Which Should You Use?

Choosing between HHC and Delta-8 ultimately depends on the individual consumer’s preferences and desired effects. Using the above mentioned Indica/Sativa comparison is a good place to start, but there are a few other important details to mention about each.

HHC

While HHC can feel more sedating, it may also feel less potent than Delta 8. This may make it a more appealing option for consumers who are looking for the potential therapeutic benefits of cannabinoids without the intense high associated with Delta 8.

Delta-8

Delta-8 is known to produce a mild, euphoric high without the anxiety or paranoia often associated with Delta-9 THC. It is also reported to have pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory properties, making it potentially beneficial for individuals with chronic pain or inflammation.

It’s important to note that the effects of Delta-8 or HHC can still vary depending on the individual’s tolerance, dosage, and consumption method.

Side Effects

It is possible that these cannabinoids may cause some adverse effects in some individuals. Some potential side effects of cannabinoids include dry mouth, dry eyes, dizziness, and changes in appetite or mood. Additionally, because Delta-8 is a psychoactive cannabinoid, it may cause some of the same effects as Delta-9 THC, including impaired coordination, anxiety, or paranoia in some individuals.

Will HHC or Delta 8 give you the “munchies”?

Delta-8 is generally considered to be less psychoactive and more mild than Delta-9 THC, but it can still have some psychoactive effects, and it is possible that it may increase appetite in some individuals. As for HHC, there is not enough research available to determine whether it has any effect on appetite or the munchies.

Can you drive after taking HHC or Delta 8?

It is not recommended to drive or operate heavy machinery after taking HHC or Delta-8, as both are psychoactive cannabinoids that can affect cognitive function, reaction time, and coordination.

Does HHC or Delta 8 make you giggly?

It’s possible that they may cause changes in mood or behavior in some individuals. Some people may experience euphoria or a sense of well-being after consuming cannabinoids, which could potentially lead to giggling or laughter.

How long does HHC or Delta 8 stay in your system?

This can vary depending on several factors, including your individual metabolism, dosage, and frequency of use. However, in general, cannabinoids can stay in your system for several days to a few weeks.
