How to know if a THC-H Cannabinoid Product is Fake

Tetrahydrocannabihexol (THC-H) is such a new cannabinoid that a lot of people haven’t even heard of it – yet.  But, just like any cannabinoid, if you’re going to buy a THC-H product, you always need to be on the lookout for fakes.  And yes, even though tetrahydrocannabihexol is a completely new addition to the market, fakes do exist.  Fortunately, we can help you avoid them altogether.

Why Fakes Exist on the Hemp Market

No one wants to think that there are “bad” businesses out there, duping customers with fake THC-H products.  But, THC-H is easy to fake, since it’s such a new cannabinoid that most people have nothing to compare it to, and also won’t know any better if they’re consuming something that isn’t actually THC-H at all.  Pair that with the growing demand for this new cannabinoid, and it’s easy to see why some companies would put effort into creating fakes.

Types of Fakes You Might Run into

There are a few different ways in which a THC-H product can be “fake.”  Let’s cover the main ones so you know what to be looking out for when you go shopping.

• Knock-Off Products: A knock-off would be a THC-H product made by one company, designed to look exactly like the product made by a more popular company – similar to a knockoff designer handbag.  What’s inside the formula is actually a low-quality product, or one that doesn’t contain any THC-H.
• Products that Contain Zero (or Almost Zero) THC-H: Then, there are products advertised as THC-H products, which either contain no THC-H, or contain so little THC-H that they can’t possibly give you any meaningful effectiveness.
• Products Made with Harmful Ingredients: While not technically a fake, you still want to strictly avoid a product that does ultimately contain THC-H, but also contains harmful ingredients that can do damage to the body – for instance, vitamin E added to vape oil, which has been linked to severe respiratory problems.

Avoiding a Fake THC-H Product: What to Look For 

Now, let’s talk about what to be looking at when buying a THC-H product, to completely avoid the risk of ending up with one of the types of fake products above.

#1: Look at the Third-Party Lab Reports

It’s very important to always look at third-party lab reports before buying any THC-H product, to gain access to unbiased information regarding its legitimacy, provided by the company’s website. 

This shows that the product was tested by a third-party testing facility approved by the state to analyze samples of hemp.  Read through the cannabinoid breakdown column, and you should see the amount of THC-H that’s in the product, as well as its purity level, which should be about 90% or so – there’s no such thing as a THC-H distillate that’s 100% pure, so don’t bother looking for that.

#2: Look at Online Reviews

Always look at online reviews for the company before buying their THC-H.  That’s because if the company is selling fake products, their reviews will undoubtedly give that away. And, in addition to looking at the company’s reviews provided on their website, search around the internet to find third-party reviews provided on Reddit, YouTube and other online sources where people review hemp products and brands.

#3: Consider the Company You’re Buying It from

Some types of retailers are simply more frequently caught selling fakes than others.  For instance, THC-H that’s being sold by someone at a flea market who doesn’t have a business license on clear display is far more likely to be selling fakes than a reputable online brand that offers lab reports throughout their website.  In general, buying THC-H locally as opposed to online puts you at a higher risk of ending up with a fake.

#4: Read the Label Carefully

When eyeing a new THC-H product, read the label carefully.  Read every word printed on the label, because a company that has lots of spelling or grammar mistakes should be a red flag.  And, read the ingredients carefully to make sure there’s nothing harmful in them, while being sure that there’s actually a meaningful number of milligrams of THC-H in the product to give you the high you’re looking for.  Keep in mind that since THC-H is extremely potent, a few milligrams per serving is actually okay.

Spotting a Fake According to the Product Type

As you know, tetrahydrocannabihexol comes in a wide array of product types, so let’s get more specific about spotting a fake specific type of THC-H product.

THC-H Vapes

THC-H vapes should never contain any ingredients, but instead consist of 100% pure hemp extracts, so that’s the first thing to look for.  The actual vape oil should smell and taste like cannabis, due to the high level of terpenes, and never have a chemical smell.  Also, the name of the strain should be available on the label.  Look at the lab reports, as this is where you’ll quickly discover whether or not the hemp extracts have been diluted or tampered with in any way.

THC-H Gummies

THC-H gummies are a product you’ll want to look over carefully, since there are a lot of ingredients in gummies that companies can try to sneak in there.  Look at the list of ingredients thoroughly, including the number of milligrams of THC-H in each piece, to make sure you’re not getting ripped off with an ineffective dose of THC-H.

THC-H Tinctures

With a THC-H tincture, check that the formula contains enough milligrams to give you the high that you’re looking for, and make sure that there aren’t any questionable additives or filler ingredients in the formula, because all that needs to go into a tincture is THC-H distillate and a carrier oil.  If the tincture is just a plain THC-H distillate tincture, it shouldn’t have a strong smell, unless flavoring has been added to it, which should be indicated.  If it’s a full spectrum tincture, it should smell like hemp.
