Yes, ingesting HHC does produce psychoactive effects. While HHC is still brand new to testing, evidence has shown HHC effects to be similar to a more mellow psychoactive effective than the more commonly known Delta 9 THC. Due to the hydrogenation of the THC molecule, HHC has been shown to be more resistant to oxidation and UV light breakdown. This allows HHC to maintain a longer shelf-life and is less prone to damage.
