Tetrahydrocannabidiol THD 98%, pure H4CBD hydrogenated CBD
Our H4CBD distillate is 98% pure, making it the purest form of hydrogenated CBD available. This cannabis extract contains almost exclusively tetrahydrocannabidiol and consists of 58% (9R)-H4CBD, 40% (9S)-H4CBD, and traces of other cannabinoids and terpenes. The THD comes from European certified cannabis plants. Hydrogenated CBDis one of the rarest weak-acting psychoactive substances.
H4-CBD, also known as THD or tetrahydrocannabidiol, is hydrogenated CBD, a psychoactive form of CBD that has a similar structure to HHC but lacks features such as a double bond. H4CBD has both R- and S-diastereomers, with the R-diastereomer considered the stronger of the two.
About the production of hydrogenated CBD:
H4CBD is prepared by adding hydrogen atoms to CBD molecules. The process of making H4CBD is similar to making margarine in a factory by hydrogenating vegetable oil. Although hydrogenation is not a particularly safe method for food production, there is no reason to believe that it will negatively affect concentrated extracts like H4CBD.
What are the benefits of H4CBD?
One improvement of hydrogenated CBD is that it offers molecular stability, which contributes to heat resistance and shelf life. Unsaturated compounds become saturated with hydrogen during hydrogenation. This is usually done to improve their shelf life and resistance to thermooxidative degradation, which occurs when these compounds are in the presence of air.
But this improved durability is not the key advantage here : H4CBD has a much stronger affinity for the human CB1 receptor than CBD, suggesting a significantly increased potency of its CB1-mediated effects, while retaining CBD's other benefits.
Most of the information we have about the effects of H4CBD comes from a single study. In 2006, a research team led by Shimon Ben-Shabat found that H4CBD - like most cannabinoids - has some anti-inflammatory potential. More importantly, however, this form of CBD appears to interact strongly with CB1 receptors, which CBD itself does not. A 2017 research report referenced Ben-Shabat's study, but did not mention any other research on the pharmacology of H4CBD.
To have some degree of certainty about the potential effects of H4CBD, further research needs to be conducted. However, there is preliminary evidence that generally confirms the effects of H4CBD suspected by researchers. This cannabinoid appears to have a similar effect on users as CBD, but with a significantly higher psychoactivity.
Does H4CBD (THD) get you high?
The claim that H4CBD is 100 times more potent than CBD is highly oversimplified. H4CBD is not as potent as CBD - by stimulating CB1 receptors, it is potent in a way that CBD is not. Like THC, THD also gives many people a pleasant, euphoric feeling when ingested. But exactly what that feeling is may not be so easily determined. At least for now. Some people report similar effects to conventional THC products. Hydrogenated CBD, or tetrahydrocannabidiol, is considered an alternative to hexahydrocannabinol (HHC), according to many opinions.
What is the difference between H4CBD and CBD?
H4CBD differs from CBD in that it is technically produced synthetically. Hydrogenation is considered one of the simpler forms of synthesis, but because its chemical structure has been altered to accommodate more hydrogen components, H4CBD can no longer be considered a purely natural cannabinoid.
CBD and H4CBD also seem to differ in terms of their effects. One of the advantages of CBD is that it is non-intoxicating while still providing many of the benefits associated with cannabis. H4CBD seems to veer on the non-intoxicating side of the spectrum, but only by a razor-thin margin.
H4CBD isn't exactly THC, but it isn't CBD either. In this respect, H4CBD is similar to many of the THC alternatives that have hit the market recently, but in this case, it is a CBD alternative. Since cannabinoids aren't all that different from one another chemically, it was inevitable that repeated tinkering would produce options that covered the full spectrum of psychoactivity.
When was H4CBD discovered?
H4CBD was discovered in 1940 as part of the efforts of the Todd Group, a pioneering group of cannabis researchers responsible for identifying dozens of cannabinoids and synthesizing dozens more. In the early days, H4CBD was produced by catalyzing CBD with a metal alloy, but safer processes are generally used in today's H4CBD products.
Uses of H4CBD distillate:
Many people use the H4CBD distillate in a vaporizer (vaporizer) suitable for oil or wax. However, you can also mix the distillate with cannabis flowers. You can also use the cannabinol extract in oil or wax bongs. Some users use it for tinctures, or in smoothies or other edibles.
