THCH, full name tetrahydrocannabihexol (THC-C6), is a THC analog with a six-carbon side chain. It belongs to the same family of THC homologs as THCP, but with a chain shorter by one carbon.

THCH cannot be legally bought in the CZ

THCH is a psychoactive cannabinoid classified among prohibited substances by the amendment to Act No. 167/1998 Coll. Sale and distribution for human consumption are punishable in the CZ since 2025. This page serves as an informational resource only – THCH is not currently available in our store.

What is THCH?

THCH is a semi-synthetic cannabinoid that occurs in natural cannabis only in trace amounts. Structurally it lies between classical Δ9-THC (five-carbon chain) and THCP (seven-carbon chain). The six-carbon alkyl side chain increases affinity for the CB1 receptor, according to available in-vitro data approximately 8–10× compared to Δ9-THC, but significantly less than THCP. Commercially available THCH was produced semi-synthetically from CBD via a multi-step reaction, because isolation from natural cannabis would be economically unfeasible.

In Europe THCH appeared in 2023–2024 in oils, vape pens, gummies and enriched cannabis flowers, often combined with THCP, HHCP or H4CBD as part of 'blends'. The price of THCH products was high due to complex synthesis and low yield. After the regulatory wave it withdrew from the legal market practically completely.
