Hexahydrocannabiphorol (HHCP, sometimes mistakenly referred to as hexahydroxycannabiphorol) is a semi-synthetic cannabinoid derivative which has been marketed since around 2021.[1][2] It is believed to be made from the hydrogenation of tetrahydrocannabiphorol (THCP). THCP is only reported as a trace component of cannabis in 2019.[3] HHCP was studied by Roger Adams as early as 1942.[4]

Legality

The legal status of hexahydrocannabinol and derivatives varies between countries leading to widespread sale in some jurisdictions in Europe and the US, but in France HHCP was banned in 2023.[5] Japan banned HHCP on December 26, 2023. Also, HHCP was banned in Slovakia 13.1.2024. [6]
