What is Hydroxy?

Quick Explanation:

Hydroxy THC is a fascinating derivative of Delta-9-THC, the primary psychoactive compound in cannabis. It’s part of the cannabinoid family, known for its unique chemical properties and interactions within the cannabis plant.

Hydroxy THC, or (hydroxy-delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol), is created through the natural oxidation of Delta-9-THC. This process, which can occur over time or with exposure to air and light, modifies THC’s molecular structure by adding a hydroxy group (-OH). This change gives hydroxy THC distinct characteristics that set it apart from its parent compound.

Although less common than delta-9-THC, hydroxy THC is gaining attention for its unique place in the world of cannabinoids. Its becoming popular in vape disposables, edibles, and more. Its formation and properties highlight the dynamic nature of cannabis chemistry and the potential for discovering new compounds.
