THC-O?

There is no doubt about it, cannabinoids derived from hemp are having a moment in the spotlight. Delta 8 THC, delta 10 THC, delta 9 THC and now, one more known as THCO is added to the list. This unique cannabinoid is potent, possibly therapeutic, and quite interesting to say the least. THC-O is THC-O acetate, which is an acetic cannabinoid created through a specific process by altering the properties of hemp-derived cannabidiol. Essentially, CBD is converted first into delta 8 THC, but then that cannabinoid is further processed by adding a chemical compound known as acetic anhydride. After further processing, the end result is THC-O acetate. THCO acetate offers effects similar to other euphoric cannabinoids like delta 8 THC, but users report the experience to be a bit more unique. Some even claim that THC-O is more potent than delta 8 THC. However, user experiences can vary. Further, the cannabinoid may offer some therapeutic potential. In terms of potency, THC-O is three times stronger than delta 9 THC. The effects can also be more psychedelic in nature, which has actually led to some people referring to THC-O as the “psychedelic cannabinoid.” For the most part, people report that the high is more intense, even a bit spiritual, and possibly even bordering on hallucinogenic. However, the exact effects can vary from one person to the next.

As noted above, there has not been a great deal of research into the therapeutic benefits of THC-O. Therefore, there are no well-documented benefits other than anecdotal information from THC-O users. Some people like the uplifting nature of the cannabinoid, which may be beneficial when dealing with something like depression or stress. There are also reports that THC-O seems to help with bodily discomfort better than delta 8 or even delta 9. Both delta 8 THC and THC-O are cannabinoids that can be created from extracts derived from hemp. The main delta 8 THC difference is that the cannabinoid is basically a converted form of CBD, while THC-O is mixed with another compound before reaching its final state. And, without delta 8 THC, there would be no THC-O. The two are also reported by users to differ where effects are concerned. The delta 8 THC effect is intoxicating, but THC-O may be more potent and offer a different euphoric experience. It is incredibly important to trust a reputable company for THC-O products. THC-O is a more processed cannabinoid, and buying from a mystery source is never recommended. Look for products that have been tested by a third-party lab. For example, take a look at the lab test for Solar Stranana THCO Blast Bars.
