How Is HHC-R Made

HHC-R is the new cannabinoid you’re going to be hearing a lot about, acting as a more potent form of hexahydrocannabinol.  While HHC-R and HHCR products aren’t widely available on the market just yet, that’s about to change.  So, while we wait for this new cannabinoid to arrive, let’s talk about how it’s made.

What Exactly is HHC-R Cannabinoid?

9(R)-hexahydrocannabinol (HHC-R) is a new variation on the hexahydrocannabinol (HHC) cannabinoid that took the hemp market by storm not long ago.  It’s the result of isolating 9R HHC to enhance HHC’s potency.  HHC distillate naturally yields two HHC molecules: 9R HHC and 9S HHC, with only the former binding to cannabinoid receptors.  9S, therefore, dilutes the potency of hexahydrocannabinol, which means that isolated 9R HHC is much more potent – even more than delta 9.

The Process of Making HHC-R 

As you’re about to discover, the process of making an HHC-R product isn’t all that different from making other hemp products.  Let’s go through each step to give you an idea of how this unique cannabinoid is produced.

#1: Sourcing the Best Hemp Possible

Hemp products all begin with the raw hemp plant, and finding the best-quality hemp possible is therefore essential.  A company should, ideally, strive to seek out raw hemp that comes from a local farm, as the less it travels, the better.  Besides that, hemp farmers in the United States are held to stricter standards than they are in many other countries, which yields a superior product.

On top of that, it’s always better to find organic hemp – in other words, hemp that was grown according to the strict USDA standards for organic agriculture.  This means that the hemp contains zero pesticides or other known environmental toxins, and that it better retains its chemical composition as a result of zero exposure to toxic farming chemicals.

#2: Creating the HHC-R Distillate 

All HHC-R products contain what’s known as HHC-R distillate – a pure extract of the cannabinoid, that can be infused into basically any product form.  And to make HHC-R distillate, you first need to make HHC distillate.  Because HHC is such a trace cannabinoid, the amount of raw hemp material needed to produce a meaningful amount of distillate would be astounding, and anything but cost-efficient.  So, instead, companies use a technique called isomerization, which is also used to make delta 8 products, THC-P products, and so on.

Isomerization relies on the fact that all cannabinoids originate from CBG (cannabigerol), and so they all share the same chemical composition, with their atoms simply arranged in a different way.  You can take CBD, the cannabinoid in hemp that dominates its chemical composition, and rearrange its atoms to turn it into HHC.

Now that you have an HHC distillate, it’s time to convert it into HHC-R distillate.  This involves removing the 9S HHC molecule from the HHC, so that all that remains is 9R HHC – the molecule that actually attaches to the body’s cannabinoid receptors to cause effects.

#3: Making Different HHC-R Products

Now that we have HHC-R distillate ready to go, we can formulate a variety of products.  Gummies, vape oils, tinctures, concentrates, and even HHC-R flower will all contain this extract, blended with ingredients, of course.  Keep in mind that some companies may also sell pure HHC-R distillate, which again is simply the purified extract of the cannabinoid, which is flavorless and odorless.

While HHC-R distillate can formulate any product, you’re going to mostly see HHC-R vapes – vape cartridges and disposables, that is – in the near future.

#4: Third-Party Testing

Now comes a step that’s required, which is third-party testing.  Once a HHC-R product has been produced, the manufacturer must send it off to a state-licensed third-party laboratory, where it’s tested for purity, potency, safety, and chemical composition, along with federal compliance.  These lab reports are then given back to the manufacturer, and should be displayed on their website, to offer consumers a means to verify that they’re buying the best-quality HHCR product possible.

#5: Packaging

Finally, it’s time to package the HHC-R product, which requires more effort than you may think.  For one thing, as we’re working with organic compounds, we need to make sure that the packaging is airtight, as oxygen can cause the cannabinoid to break down and lose its potency before it’s even in the hands of a customer.  The packaging should also provide information about the ingredients in the product, and how to take the product for the best results, including the ideal dosage amount.

HHC-R: A Whole New Way to Enjoy the Effects of HHC!

HHC-R hasn’t arrived just yet, but right now, Binoid is getting ready to launch a new line of HHC-R vapes for our customers to experience for themselves.  And, as you can see, the steps involved to making HHC-R products isn’t really different from making other hemp products that many of us are used to taking, except for the one step of isolating 9R HHC to enhance the product’s potency.

So, keep an eye out, because before long, you’ll be able to see how this cannabinoid compares to HHC.
