Studies would suggest that HHC is far milder in its potency and effects when compared to Delta-9 THC. The hydrogenation process to create the HHC cannabinoid affects the compound's ability to interact with the same receptors that Delta-9 is known for triggering. As such, the overall effects of the HHC cannabinoid are known for being much milder and more tolerable than Delta-9 THC as well as Delta-8 THC.
