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 edit
The legal status of hexahydrocannabinol and derivatives varies between countries, leading to widespread sale in some jurisdictions in Europe and the US.
In France, HHCP was banned in 2023.[5]
In Japan, Japanese Health Ministry announced that six synthetic cannabinoids with structures similar to HHCH, including HHCP, were to be banned from 6 January 2024.[6]
HHCP was banned in Slovakia as of 13 January 2024.[citation needed]
