What To Know About HHC vs. Delta-8 THC

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 13:20:24 GMT

In the hemp THC industry, delta-8 is the clear winner. As it stands today, it’s unlikely any cannabinoid in this niche market will unseat delta-8’s top position. Indeed, delta-8 has become so mainstream that many states are struggling to regulate it.Although delta-8 THC is wildly popular, dozens of other THC-related molecules have generated some buzz online. For instance, HHC has begun filtering into many reputable hemp shops. Typically available in e-juices, HHC seems to offer a slightly different experience than delta-8 products. Before jumping into the “HHC hype,” customers should consider how HHC differs from the more established delta-8 THC.How Does HHC Compare With Delta-8 THC?The first thing to understand about HHC is that it’s not a natural cannabinoid. Unlike delta-8 THC, you can’t find HHC molecules in a hemp plant. Instead, researchers had to create HHC in a lab by adding hydrogen atoms to delta-9 THC.Interestingly, American scientists may have created HHC as far back as ...

27 Donald Trump election lies listed in his Georgia indictment

By Daniel Dale | CNNWashington  — A Georgia indictment of former President Donald Trump for his efforts to overturn the 2020 election lists at least 27 lies Trump told about the election – and that’s counting conservatively.The new indictment, handed up Monday by a grand jury in Fulton County, Georgia, is the second indictment this month to function as a kind of prosecutorial fact check of the former president’s relentless campaign of election-related dishonesty. A federal indictment in early August, which also charged Trump for his efforts to subvert the will of the voters, listed 21 of his election lies.There is significant overlap between the lies identified in the two indictments, but the Fulton County document lays out more of his false claims about Georgia in particular. Trump uttered many of those claims during a January 2, 2021 phone call with Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger in which he pressured Raffensperger to “find” enough votes to give him a victory in the...
