Hash with HHCP, HHCP-O, Δ8-THCP and synthetic impurities.
Risk assessment
This sample, declared as hashish with THCP, contained HHCP, HHCP-O, Δ8-THCP , and at least 2 other synthetic impurities in addition to the expected ingredients THC and CBD.
HHCP (hexahydrocannabiphorol) is a new cannabinoid that is offered in some countries as a legal alternative to ∆9-THC products ("classic" THC). HHCP is a fully synthetic cannabinoid that does not occur naturally in the cannabis plant. The substance was probably added after the fact. Due to the uneven distribution of the substance, there is a risk that high doses of HHCP will be consumed and overdose symptoms may occur.
According to user reports, the effect spectrum is similar to that of ∆9-THC, but it is said to have a more potent effect than the better-known HHC. In higher doses, however, the substance is said to develop an effect that is perceived as unpleasant. In case of overdose, nausea, dizziness, physical discomfort and vomiting may occur. There is hardly any reliable information on the risks and side effects of HHCP (all information is based on user reports). The long-term effects of consumption are completely unknown.
HHCP-O (hexahydrocannabiphorol acetate ) is related to HHCP described above. We do not have any scientific data on it . However, with other cannabinoid acetates there is the problem that their heating forms the toxic compound ketene. Ketene can cause respiratory problems and lung failure and has been linked to medical emergencies and deaths in the US. For more information, see our blog post .
Δ8-THCP(delta-8-tetrahydrocannabiphorol) is the Δ8-isomer of THCP (tetrahydrocannabiphorol) and is also known as JWH-091 as a synthetic cannabinoid . THCP occurs naturally in cannabis plants in very small amounts. Δ8-THCP has not yet been detected naturally in cannabis plants. The levels detected by our laboratory indicate a subsequent application. No confirmed data are available on dosage, risks, and side effects. The other synthetic impurities also pose a further health risk, since no data on risks, side effects and long-term consequences are available for them either.
Various products with synthetic and semi-synthetic cannabinoids are offered on the Internet as an alternative to "classic" cannabis products. However, the information on dosage, risks and side effects is not based on reliable data. Consumption of these products poses an incalculable health risk due to a lack of data, which is why consumption is not recommended. Due to the possible high potency, it is very likely that unintentionally a very strong intoxicating effect occurs which can quickly be overwhelming. High doses of cannabinoids can lead to vomiting, circulatory problems up to circulatory collapse, unpleasant intensification of feelings as well as paranoia and depressive moods. We advise against consumption!

Safer Use
Testing
With newly purchased, unfamiliar cannabis products, it is advisable to test only a small amount the first time (take two or three puffs) and then wait about 15 minutes for the effect to develop. If the effect is unusual, do not continue to use the product!
Mixed use
Avoid mixed use. Mixed use with other substances (including alcohol or medications) is very risky because of the unpredictable and still unknown interactions. Avoid mixed use with MAO inhibitors, opioids or tranquilizers.
Mix well
Mix your cannabis products well before consumption (ideally use a grinder) to avoid a high concentration of possible synthetic cannabinoids on individual flower parts. Particular care should be taken with residual material that has fallen off the outer parts of the flower, as this is often likely to contain a particularly high concentration of synthetic cannabinoids.
Disclaimer
If you are in possession of a substance that does not appear on this page, this in no way means that it contains the expected ingredient or that it should be safe. The warnings we publish only refer to the substances listed in our Drug Checking offers, these substances pose a high risk of consumption and should not be consumed. A substance may have the same visual appearance (shape, size, colour, etc.) and yet have different ingredients or a different composition. There is no drug use without risk! Only a complete renunciation of drugs is risk-free! If you still decide to use drugs, you should at least follow the safer use rules.
