How Strong is a PHC Cannabinoid?
You’ve probably heard of THC, CBD, and even THCA, THCO, and others. CBN, CBG, and even delta-9 THC might also be names that you’ve heard before. But what about PHC? The PHC cannabinoid is one of the newest discovered, and if you aren’t privy, we’ve got you covered.
Bear with us, of course, because while we’ve done our best to gather the research, even the experts aren’t quite “experts” about PHC just yet because it’s so new. What we do know is that this cannabinoid is relatively similar to THC, but it doesn’t occur in cannabis plants naturally. So, where does it come from?
Read on to learn all about PHC cannabinoid, including what it is, its effects, and where you can find it.
What is a PHC Cannabinoid?
A PHC cannabinoid is created from delta-9 acetate, which is made from CBD. At this time, PHC is perfectly legal and acts almost the same as THC in every capacity, from what we have seen thus far.
PHC stands for hydrox-4-phc, also sometimes written as hydrox4phc. What’s unique about PHC itself is that it’s derived from a derivative—it doesn’t come straight from a marijuana or hemp plant. Delta-9 acetate, also known as THCO or THCO acetate, is a manmade cannabinoid that comes from CBD plants. It’s become quite popular in areas where THC is still illegal, and is found even in some gas stations because it circumvents federal THC laws.
The complicated chemical process that turns delta-9 into PHC is far too complex for even the advanced cannabis user, but suffice it to say that processing THCO creates PHC, which can be consumed like THC and CBD products to get similar effects and benefits.
PHC cannabinoid effects
PHC acts very similarly to THC, so the effects that you experience will be similar. People report things like euphoria, creativity, focus, relaxation, appetite support, and pain relief, along with other benefits and effects. It can make you feel elevated and talkative if it’s more sativa-based, or tired and lethargic if it’s indica-based.
It will provide a general feeling of stress relief and support for depression and anxiety. It can also make you feel that intoxicated “high” feeling and lead to cognitive impairments in some cases.
How does getting high with THC make you feel? You should expect the same thing from PHC, essentially. If you’ve never used THC, you’ll have to try whatever products you’re interested in to see what kind of results you get. Sometimes, although the general effects are similar, the exact experience is different for everyone.

How strong is a PHC cannabinoid compared to other cannabinoids?
Typically, PHC cannabinoids are just as strong as THC, if not a little more. Usually, you can expect a high that lasts six to 12 hours, depending on how much you take and how you consume it. It may also create paranoia and unwanted effects in some people, just like cannabis and THC, so it’s important to proceed with caution if you’re a first-time user or sensitive to any substances.
Because it acts like THC, PHC is generally considered stronger than CBD, CBN, THCO, and THCP, along with other cannabinoids that are found in cannabis and hemp plants. It is manmade, of course, so there is the potential in the future that the potency can be altered in the lab. As of right now, however, it seems pretty on par with THC.
How does the strength of a PHC cannabinoid affect the body and mind?
For those who are new to PHC and THC products, the mental and physical effects will be much stronger. Everyone can expect to have an uplifted, happy feeling and perhaps even feel creative or energized to do things. Some will feel relaxed and a bit tired, but not enough to knock you out. Others may have a more extreme reaction and be quite tired or struggle to stay awake. Some people may get anxious or paranoid, but that’s also rare and varies depending on tolerance and experience level.
Is a PHC cannabinoid stronger than THC?
As mentioned, PHC is generally about the same as THC in terms of strength and potency, as well as effects. In the future, companies may manufacture PHC at higher potencies to improve its effects, but that remains to be seen.
Some people experience a high that lasts up to 10 hours or longer when they take PHC or other cannabinoids in edible form. The high may also be more intense and come on stronger, in addition to taking longer to go away. For more control in dosing, it’s best to smoke of vape PHC.
Are there any medical or therapeutic uses for a PHC cannabinoid due to its strength?
PHC does have several potential therapeutic uses. It can help alleviate anxiety and stress, as well as to provide pain relief, and act as an analgesic in the body. Some people can also get benefits for nausea relief, appetite support, depression relief, and more. Essentially, whatever THC can do, PHC cannabinoids can do, too.
As they continue to grow in popularity and availability, it’s likely that more therapeutic uses will be discovered, as well.
Does the strength of a PHC cannabinoid change depending on how it is consumed?
The strength of PHC isn’t going to “change” based on how you take it. However, the potency of the different PHC products may vary. Vaping can produce a profound PHC high, as can smoking, but then others have mentioned an 8+ hour high with PHC and THC edibles. There are also products like RSOs and tinctures (not yet available in PHC in most places) that are super-potent and designed for high-strength micro-dosing for serious conditions and diseases.
The strength of the effects of PHC will vary based on your body’s response to the product, how potent it is, and what kind of quality it is made with. Low-quality products will result in less powerful results.
Are there recommended dosages or guidelines for safe consumption of a PHC cannabinoid considering its strength?
As with any cannabinoid or cannabis product, it’s essential that you choose high-quality, reputable brands to work with. That will ensure that you get the best, most potent, and safest PHC available and reduce the potential risks as a result. Since PHC is stronger than most other cannabinoids, it’s always best to start small. You can always take more, but you can’t undo what’s already been done.
If you are choosing vaping or smoking, take one or two hits and then wait a few minutes to see how you feel before taking more. With edibles, start with a lower dose and take more if you don’t feel the desired effects within an hour or two. And if you need help, feel free to ask for a consultation with your local dispensary so that you can figure out the perfect dosage for your needs.
There is a lot that we have yet to learn about PHC and all that it has to offer, but as you can see, it’s got great potential.
