What Is THC-B And What Does This Cannabinoid Do?

You’ve heard about THC-P, Delta-10, THC-O, and even HHC. The cannabinoid space has been growing like crazy since the 2018 Farm Bill, and newer compounds are being explored and used.

THC-B is a fairly new cannabinoid discovered circa 2019 by a group of Italian scientists. While new to the market and scientific community, this compound has been found to have psychoactive effects that might be even stronger than THC.

Let’s dive into the THC-B cannabinoid and what it’s all about.

THC-B, also known as Tetrahydrocannabutol, homolog compound to Delta-9 THC.

It’s naturally found in hemp, along with small amounts in cannabis plants. As far as research can tell, THC-B creates somewhat similar psychoactive effects to THC, potentially leaning on the stronger side since it may bind to cannabinoid receptors with a higher affinity.

Besides the obvious B beside the name, THC and THC-B have a similar chemical structure that makes them similar but different. Sort of like siblings, although they might look the same, they do have some differences that are basically what makes them special. Cute right?

The main difference happens in the penalty side chain of THC-B. Instead of this, it has a butyl side chain, or in less scientific terms, it has one carbon chain less than its sibling cannabinoid. While small, this could be the reason THCB is even stronger than THC.

While there is much to still research about this compound, it is important to understand that it is pretty much psychoactive. As long as it complies with the 2018 Farm Bill and is fully hemp-derived, this cannabinoid can be bought and sold at a federal level. Delta-9 THC, on the other hand, is not and is considered in general as medicinal marijuana.

THC-B produces similar psychoactive effects to THC, like increased euphoria, creativity, relaxation, or altered perception and mood in general. The high is usually described as cerebral, energizing and uplifting, and many still get the infamous munchies after consuming THC-B.

How Strong Is THC-B?

THC-B potency is thought to be stronger than THC, possibly even comparable to THC-P. This is likely because THC-B binds to cannabinoid receptors, CB1 and CB2, better than THC does.

Always exercise caution when exploring cannabinoids that haven’t been fully researched for potential risks.

There are various companies that sell THC-B flower, vapes, and edibles online.

Although, some websites and brands are sketchier than others and it’s definitely worth doing your research before you land on a purchase, especially when it’s a lesser-known cannabinoid.

One of the biggest brands in the industry is Binoid. Since the 2018 Farm Bill, this company has introduced top-quality products and lab-certified smoking devices to the market.
