THC-O isn’t considered a naturally occurring cannabinoid, and the process by which it’s produced can be volatile. And though the cannabinoid’s potency may elicit curiosity from more advanced stoner types, even they should proceed with caution.
That said, there are a number of reputable hemp brands currently displaying their THC-O products as available for purchase online. As long as its supply chain can be traced back to federally legal hemp, though, THC-O exists in enough of a gray area to slip under the regulatory radar, for now anyway. THC-O, though derived from hemp, is technically analogous to a Schedule I drug (cannabis), and could arguably be a Schedule I drug itself based on the 1986 Federal Analogue Act. THC-O’s potency and chemical composition, however, do suggest an uncertain future. Which is all to say there’s at least a few somebodies out there eating THC-O getting higher than an eagle booty.įor the time being, yes, because THC-O is derived from federally legal hemp and contains no delta-9 THC.
The bioavailability speculatively increases the potency. Once THC-O is metabolized, what’s essentially left is a highly bioavailable variation of delta-9 THC, meaning the variation is absorbed and circulates well in the body. Research, regulation and data around THC-O and its effects are scant, but researchers have concluded that THC-O is a “prodrug,” or a compound that must be metabolized to activate. There are many patients who might consider such potent variation of their medicine a divine panacea.
That said, the promise of a cannabinoid with such potency is a potential boon for more than just varsity stoners. Either way, anyone with even a passing interest in therapeutic, alternative, hemp-derived or cutting-edge cannabinoids should know about THC-O, a cosmically powerful, borderline psychedelic derivative of cannabis that can be up to 300% more potent than even the most astronomical THC.Įager to map out the genesis of this relatively novel cannabinoid, WW took a deep dive into not just what goes into isolating a hemp-derived cannabinoid so potent it’s been compared to mescaline, but also how safe it may or may not be for consumers looking to legitimately medicate with something stronger than the standard dispensary fare.Ĭurious potheads, proceed with caution even though THC-O is available online for purchase, whether or not it is truly a safe synthetic is debatable. For others, it might sound like a blessing.
