THCH

The difference with THCh when compared to Delta-8 is its potency, which is noticeable on a molecular level. This is because Tetrahydrocannabihexol (THCh) has a 6-carbon sidechain while regular THC has only a 5-carbon sidechain.

The hexol in Tetrahydrocannabihexol refers to the 6-carbon sidechain in the THC. This is significant because Delta 8 THC and Delta 9 THC only have a 5-carbon sidechain. A longer side chain on a cannabinoid results in more intense, drawn out psychoactive effects.
