Comparison H4CBD and THCP

Cannabis being a plant used in the context of care, it contains many molecules that are consumed or not. Depending on the different benefits of each molecule, it is transformed into several forms in order to be consumed by people in need.

Some cannabis molecules have been used for many years and are legal, while others are not. If discoveries of new molecules are made, it is still possible that in a few years, another molecule of the cannabis plant will be discovered which brings benefits to the organism. H4CBD and THCP are two molecules of the cannabis plant.

Consumed by many people, they provide intense well-being and help the body in regulating certain bodily functions and also in the fight against certain ailments. We will carry out a comparison between these two cannabis molecules in order to allow you to discover their differences, their similarities and to better make a choice between the two molecules.

The origins and methods of obtaining THCP and H4CBD

All cannabis molecules are considered to be derived from the cannabis plant. This consideration is caused by the fact that each molecule has some relation to the cannabis plant. This relationship can be direct or indirect, that is, through another cannabis molecule. Some cannabis molecules come directly from the cannabis plant, while others come from a chemical reaction in the laboratory.

Origin of THCP

Tetrahydrocannabipherol or THCP is a recently discovered molecule from the THC plant. THCP is a molecule discovered during some experiments in Italy in 2019. It is the youngest cannabis molecule, that is, the one that is discovered last.

THCP is low in some varieties of cannabis plants, while it is present in high amounts in other varieties. THCP begins life as CBGA. This CBGA is then transformed into THCPA by the action of the THCP synthase enzyme. This reaction giving rise to THCPA is not the last. To obtain the final THCP, the THCPA is harvested and heated or dried. This method therefore makes it possible to transform THCPA or acid THCPA into THCP. This last action is called decarboxylation.

With the recent discovery of the molecule, many studies have yet to be performed. In the next few years, we will certainly have much more input from research scientists on the knowledge of THCP.

Origin of H4CBD

As we stated at the outset, some cannabis molecules are not derived directly from the cannabis plant. They come from chemical reactions and transformations carried out in the laboratory. Thus, these molecules are called synthetic molecules. H4CBD is one of the synthetic molecules of the cannabis plant. It is obtained by using another molecule of the plant, in particular CBD. The procedure consists of adding hydrogen atoms to the CBD molecule, leading to the production of H4CBD, also called hydrogenated CBD.

Although H4CB is obtained from a laboratory method, it does not affect the quality and components of the product in any way. It is pure and is not likely to give you any side effects when consumed well. H4CBD has been known for many years and used by many people. It is also a molecule that brings many benefits to consumers.

The benefits and side effects of THCP and H4CBD

All cannabis molecules cause effects on the body when consumed. These effects or benefits vary from one molecule to another. Some of them can have similar effects. For THCP and H4CBD, we will carry out a comparison allowing you to discover the different benefits and side effects of each of the molecules. Discover in this table the comparison made.

NB: It is important to know that the side effects of the different molecules are not lasting. They have a short duration and do not manifest themselves on a large scale when you use the right dose when consuming your products. To limit side effects, it is advisable to know the dose that you are ready to tolerate. In addition, put yourself in the right conditions before consuming your cannabis-based products.

THCP and H4CBD: are they legal?

We cannot address the legal status of cannabis molecules in general. Depending on each country, the laws concerning these molecules may vary. In the case of Belgium, for example, THCP and H4CBD molecules are not prohibited.

The legislation in this country considers legal cannabis products that contain no more than 0.2% THC. Most, if not all, merchants offer H4CBD products that are legal. You therefore have the choice between the products of the two molecules when you want to consume cannabis-based products.

Market availability

Availability of H4CBD and THCP products varies. It varies according to several elements.

Availability of H4CBD

H4CBD is a molecule marketed in several product forms. It has been in the market for legal cannabis products for many years. We therefore find H4CBD-based products in most online CBD shops and in physical CBD Shops. There is therefore a wide availability of H4CBD.

Availability of THCP

THCP is a cannabis molecule that is not yet widely known to consumers. The reason may be its recent discovery. However, a few online stores and physical stores already offer the product for sale. You can search the CBD Shop to get an idea of ​​its availability. In any case, H4CBD is much more present on the market than THCP.

The two legal cannabis molecules are marketed in several forms including flowers, resins, oils, gummies, cartridges, candies, puffs, etc. When you want to buy a product of one of the molecules, you can make the choice according to the forms.

We are at the end of our comparison and think we have covered the key points. Hoping that you have found solutions to your questions, we wish you to use cannabis products to improve your daily comfort and health.
