Delta 8 Flower vs HHC Flower: Which Is Better?

When it comes to hemp flower, the market keeps expanding, and offering all kinds of new ways to get high, legally, off of fresh and delicious buds.  Two types of flower products we’re seeing over and over again are delta 8 flower and THC-P flower, both of which can deliver a phenomenal psychoactive effect that gives you the high you crave without requiring that you break federal law.

We just gotta compare two specific types of flower: delta 8 flower and THC-P flower, both of which involve infusing raw flower buds with cannabinoid distillates that are beloved for the ‘high’ that they bring to the table.

Contender #1: Delta 8 Flower

Delta 8 flower, aka delta 8 THC flower, is the raw hemp flower buds that have been infused with delta 8 THC distillate.  To produce delta 8 flower, manufacturers harvest flowering buds of the hemp plant which naturally have a high concentration of cannabidiol, and then soak those buds in a purified extract of delta 8 (distillate).  To make delta 8 distillate, one must undergo a pretty lengthy and detailed process of carefully clearing away other chemical compounds in hemp at varying levels of heat and pressure, via steam.

Delta 8 flower’s claim to fame is that it provides a legal (federally speaking) flower product that also happens to be psychoactive.  And, delta 8 THC isn’t the only psychoactive cannabinoid that you can find in hemp flower, but it’s extremely popular because of how unique its effects are.  Delta 8 THC is a naturally occurring cannabinoid found in cannabis, which exists in about 0.1% of the plant’s entire chemical makeup.  It’s a cannabinoid that naturally results from oxidized delta 9 in aging plant material, and some of that delta 9 converts into delta 8 by developing entirely new chemical characteristics.

Delta 8’s effects are quite unique from those of delta 9 THC, which is why the cannabinoid is so popular.  First of all, it’s 30% milder than delta 9 THC, and this means a notably milder high than what you would get from weed.  People often say that the high of delta 8 is clear-minded, meaning that it doesn’t interfere with their ability to remain aware and alert.  However, the ‘high’ can be immensely gratifying because of how uniquely soothing it is.  People love taking delta 8 when they’re looking for a quick and easy way to decompress, as it can put both the mind and body at ease in ways that you don’t find with other cannabinoids.

Delta 8 flower is sold in the identical strains that you’d find at a weed dispensary, and the amount of delta 8 THC that’s added to the flower is left to the discretion of the manufacturer, although most companies infuse it with enough delta 8 THC to match the THC level that occurs in a specific strain.  In other words, let’s say your favorite strain is Girl Scout Cookies, and you want to try it in delta 8 flower form.  Most companies will infuse delta 8 into their Girl Scout Cookies flower so that it matches the amount of THC in marijuana form.

Key Pros & Cons

Pros:

• Offers an awesomely tranquil high that can bring you into a state of peace.
• Milder than marijuana, but still psychoactive.
• Federally legal, unlike weed.
• An Entry-Level form of THC.

Cons:

• Not legal in all 50 states, due to state laws that have prohibited sales of intoxicating hemp products.
• While delta 8 THC is an “entry-level” form of THC, it can still be overwhelming to beginners if they consume too much of it, so starting with a low dose is ideal.
• Small chance of encountering fake delta 8 THC flower, as delta 8 distillate is colorless, flavorless, and odorless, therefore making fakes easier to produce.

Contender #2: HHC Flower

HHC flower just refers to raw hemp flower, aka “CBD flower”, that has been infused with hexahydrocannabinol distillate – an extract of pure HHC that’s simply extracted from the hemp plant.  The result: a phenomenal product that can offer all of the benefits of CBD flower, with the addition of HHC, in order to get you high.  And, that makes it a product that’s a whole lot like weed.

Creating HHC flower is actually a pretty straightforward process, as it begins with industrial hemp – preferably organic hemp.  The mature hemp plant’s buds are picked and dry-cured, which’s a standard practice in the industry, to prevent mold and mildew from growing on the flower while in storage.  From there, the flower buds are infused with HHC distillate – an isolate extract of HHC produced by applying steam to the plant at various levels of heat and pressure.  This process removes all of the other compounds in the plant, leaving behind an extraction of pure HHC.

Wondering how much HHC is actually in HHC flower then?  In a good majority of cases, that really depends on the “strain” being purchased.  Companies that produce HHC flower will usually attempt to replicate marijuana as much as possible, and so they will add the amount of HHC distillate needed to match the naturally occurring THC levels in the cannabis form of the identical strain. 

Key Pros & Cons:

Pros:

• HHC is reported to provide effects similar to THC, such as euphoria, relaxation, and altered perception, but with slightly less potency.  This can be beneficial for users seeking a milder experience than traditional THC.
• Aside from the recreational effects, HHC flower may be more “medicinal” than delta 8 flower because of how strong the cannabinoid is.
• The hydrogenation process that creates HHC adds to its chemical stability, potentially giving it a longer shelf life.  This makes it more durable for storage and less prone to degradation from exposure to air and light.

Cons:

• Not legal in all 50 states, due to state laws that have prohibited sales of intoxicating hemp products.
• Stronger than delta 8 flower, so if you’re a total THC beginner, you should probably build your tolerance up to it.

Both Cannabinoids Are Worth Checking Out!

No doubt, delta 8 THC and HHC are some interesting cannabinoids that can do wonders for your flower routine by introducing a wonderful, satisfying high in their own unique way.  But, as you can see, one cannabinoid is just a bit more powerful than the other, so you should keep that in mind when selecting one.
