You're already familiar with CBD, so maybe you're looking to discover other cannabinoids. That's when you realize that the world of alternative cannabinoids is both vast and confusing, with all those acronyms! Let's explore two closely related yet different molecules, THC-B and THC-H.
Molecules with different structures
The two molecules THC-B (tetrahydrocannabutol) and THC-H (tetrahydrocannabihexol) are cannabinoids derived from THC. What they have in common is that their molecular structure differs. Whereas THC-B has a butyl side chain (4 carbon atoms), THC-H has a hexyl side chain (6 carbon atoms).
So what? Well, this fundamental difference in the molecule's structure may influence its interaction with the endocannabinoid system. The longer the chain, the greater the molecule's ability to interact with CB1 receptors. In the Puffy, you'll find these molecules, THC-B and THC-H, in the form of THC vape and cartridges!
Differences in effects
It should be pointed out that each experience is personal and it's difficult to generalize. It all depends on your consumer profile, the quantity, the cannabinoids, the context... Nevertheless, some consumers mention certain trends that can be highlighted here.
THC-B
This cannabinoid is more often associated with targeted effects. The sensation is generally said to be faster and more precise.
However, for experienced users, THC-B offers a milder experience than traditional THC. The psychotropic effects of THC are more limited, making it an interesting alternative for those seeking potency without the euphoric sensation. Beware, however, not to underestimate its potency. THC-B may induce a fairly strong lethargic effect.
This cannabinoid could bring you deep relaxation, without the psychotropic effects of THC. If you're looking to combat stress or anxiety, or improve your sleep, THC-B could help. The same goes for pain relief. In short, a general sense of well-being without too much THC-induced euphoria.
This molecule could be for you if you're looking for something stronger than CBD but without the psychotropic effects, turn to our THC-B products.
THC-H
Often associated with the diet cannabis market, this molecule can be found in cannabinoid blends. At Puffy in particular, products are often formulated by mixing several cannabinoids to benefit from the entourage effect.
THC-H is a more stable and potent molecule derived from THC. Its efficacy is said to be quite high: its effects are described as long-lasting and powerful. This places it among the cannabinoids with the most intense effects.
According to some consumers, THC-H is more sedative than other cannabinoids. Compared with CBD, THC-H is said to have more psychotropic effects.
For a new experience, if you're looking for prolonged effects with a slower build-up, THC-H might be right for you. THC-H would also be ideal if you want stronger effects than traditional CBD.
As for the effects reported by consumers, we can mention deep relaxation, help in falling asleep, help in smoking reduction, lower THC consumption... Motivated to discover the benefits of THC-H? Take a look at our collection of THC-H products.
THC-B and THC-H: What they have in common
While THC-B is said to produce rapid, targeted effects of moderate intensity, THC-H is said to have a deeper, longer-lasting effect, with a more powerful intensity. But beyond these differences, the two cannabinoids have certain aspects in common:
- Both molecules are derived from the hemp plant.
- They are less well-known than CBD or traditional THC, but are nonetheless sought-after as alternative molecules.
- They are intended for experienced consumers.
- They are often consumed in the same way, i.e. in the form of puffs or with refillable vape pens using cartridges cartridges.
With Puffy products, you'll find both molecules, in formulas designed for a gradual, controlled experience.
