Hemp-derived products are finally legal in California, but with some restrictions. The new law contains important provisions for novel intoxicating cannabinoids derived from hemp, including HHC. Can you purchase HHC flower in the Golden State legally? Let’s take a look.
Is HHC Flower Legal in California?
HHC flower is legal in California. For now, the state hasn’t banned this cannabinoid explicitly.
California legalized hemp-derived CBD products under Bill AB-45, enacted in late 2021. This bill restricted the use of delta 8 THC and similar THC isomers in hemp products. It redefined the term “tetrahydrocannabinol” and included all THCs in the definition.
So, any product derived from hemp must contain less than 0.3% total THC to be considered legal. And as mentioned, total THC includes delta 8, delta 9, and delta 10.
In addition, the law paved the road for the involvement of any other cannabinoid in the definition of “THC.” California lawmakers can restrict any cannabinoid that’s not THC but causes intoxication and is consistent with the provisions of the bill into the definition of THC.
Unfortunately, HHC is the perfect candidate for this, but, for now, it’s unrestricted in California and remains unregulated.
What is HHC Flower?
HHC flower is a regular CBD flower sprayed with HHC isolate.
Like delta 8, HHC is naturally found in low amounts in hemp. This cannabinoid became popular because it’s resistant to heat and has a longer shelf-life than delta 9. Manufacturers produce it in large quantities in a lab, using hydrogenation.
Research is scarce on this cannabinoid, but shows potential therapeutic benefits for chronic pain, inflammation, and sleep. Regarding potency and effects, HHC is slightly less intoxicating and stimulating than delta 9.
