CBD vs HHC Effects: Which is Better for Pain?

It could be said that the hemp cannabinoids CBD and HHC compete with each other for the majority favor in the part of society inclined to alternative medicine. Both of these substances have an analgesic effect, but cannabis was already used for pain relief in ancient Egypt. However, there is no clear answer to the simple question of which of these cannabinoids is more suitable for a pain problem. We'll tell you why!

If you regularly follow our cannabis blog, you will have noticed that we have written several articles about the effects of cannabis on pain relief. They deal with individual substances that undoubtedly has an analgesic effect. In many articles you will also find a comparison of CBD and HHC including their effects, however today we will go even deeper and analyze which of these cannabinoids is more suitable and effective for this problem. Please sit back, the article is about to begin.

Analgesic effects of CBD and HHC cannabinoids

We have already discussed what CBD or HHC is many times on the blog, so we will not focus on it. Just to remind you, both substances occur naturally in the cannabis plant. We call all such substances cannabinoids. Some of them are psychoactive (THC, HHC..), while others do not alter sensory perception (CBD, CBG..). However, they do have one thing in common. This is their ability to have a positive effect on the perception of pain, i.e. to reduce its manifestations and the way we perceive it.

What kind benefits so can the effects of individual cannabinoids on pain?

A helper named CBD

Today, cannabidiol aka CBD can be described as a fairly well-researched substance, although new information is still emerging about what it can help us with. Based on the research carried out so far, we can say with certainty - yes, CBD helps with pain. How specifically?

Benefits of CBD for pain in points

• effective help for acute and chronic pain
• it brings quick pain relief
• can be used at any time of the day
• it does not prevent us from carrying out daily activities
• well researched and safe substance
• it has basically no side effects
• supports immunity and has an anti-inflammatory effect
• we can experiment with doses (you can't overdose!)
• atopic preparations are great for sore joints and muscles

The main drawbacks of CBD for pain

• it is too weak for extreme pain
• with long-term use, we have to increase the doses
• higher purchase price (up to 20% is ideal for pain 30% CBD drops)

HHC is many times stronger than CBD, but it has its own but..

Hexahydrocannabinol, like CBD, has an anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving effect. The main advantage of cannabis as an alternative medicine is that it addresses the cause, not just the symptoms. HHC is a significantly stronger cannabinoid, so it should be able to help soothe even very unpleasant pain. I dare to say that it is at least as good as commercially sold drugs, but due to its psychoactivity, it also brings with it side effects in the form of intoxication. So in what cases should HHC be used for pain?

The main benefits of HHC for pain

• can soothe even very intense pain
• compared to CBD, it has a many times stronger analgesic effect
• brings quick relief
• strong anti-inflammatory effects

Disadvantages of HHC

• has a strong psychoactive effect
• we cannot perform normal daily activities by default
• under no circumstances must we get behind the wheel
• we have to watch our doses carefully
• we do not have much information about long-term effects on the organism

So, to summarize, we can say that CBD is suitable for less severe manifestations of pain, while HHC is a higher caliber that can suppress even extremely unpleasant conditions. However, we must pay attention to the dosage, because excessive use of HHC can lead to a bad trip. CBD is gentle, very safe and we can use it at any time of the day.

Hexahydrocannabinol is recommended to be used mainly in the evening hours, when we no longer have to function, or at any time during the day for people who are at home, for example, due to incapacity for work. Some relax much better thanks to HHC products, as it is a good way to escape from reality. Others prefer to be sober and enjoy a standard perception of the world around them.
