Studies on the long-term effects and benefits of HHC are still in their early stages. Preliminary studies show that it shares the same safety profile as THC. Scientists are saying that since HHC and THC have almost identical compositions, they might have the same therapeutic and side effects. Moreover, as HHC is less potent than THC, it may also mean its side effects are not as pronounced. Nevertheless, the reported side effects of HHC are anecdotal. There is a wide range of reported positive and negative side effects. HHC may cause euphoria, reduced stress, and pain reduction. Please consult your doctor before using HHC, especially if you plan to use edibles such as HHC gummies.
