HHC-acetate (Hexahydrocannabinol-O-acetate, HHC-O) is a semi-synthetic cannabinoid derivative which has been marketed since around 2022.[1][2] It is believed to be made in a three step process from cannabidiol extracted from hemp.[3] The legal status of hexahydrocannabinol and derivatives such as HHC-O varies between countries leading to widespread sale in some jurisdictions in Europe and the US, but in France HHC and HHC-O were banned in 2023, and HHC is already banned in several other countries.[4] On 1st of March 2024 HHC was banned on Czech Republic.[5]
