HHC can produce effects similar to THC if it is ingested in sufficient quantities. HHC, on the other hand, has a lesser potency than delta-9 THC but can have the same effects as THC on the mind and body. Some people report feeling pleasant and averagely cerebral after using HHC. It is also claimed that HHC relieves pain. The recreational use of HHC can lead to a feeling of sharpness, energy, and strength.
