Abbreviation for Hexahydrocannibinol. A semi-synthetic cannabinoid derived from THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), the primary psychoactive compound in cannabis. It is created by chemically hydrogenating THC, a process that adds hydrogen atoms to the molecule, making HHC more stable and potentially extending its shelf life compared to THC. Although it is not naturally abundant in cannabis, HHC has similar effects to THC, producing mild psychoactive effects, but it is reported to be less potent than traditional THC.

In the Wild — Example
HHC became popular in part because it was stable enough to be sold without degrading over a long shelf life.
