What is THCB?
THCB technically stands for Delta-9 tetrahydrocannabutol. This cannabinoid is very closely related to regular Delta-9 THC. THCB was only discovered in 2019 by a team of Italian scientists, along with a couple of other new cannabinoids that had never been seen before, such as THCP.
Therefore, because THCB was only discovered a few years ago, the information about it is extremely limited, as there have been barely any tests conducted on it. However, what can be said is that THCB seems to have a much stronger affinity to bind with CB1 receptors than regular Delta-9 THC.
Therefore, THCB is thought to be much more potent than regular Delta-9 THC. However, this cannabinoid occurs in hemp and cannabis plants in only trace amounts. Therefore, to make its sale and consumption feasible, it is generally synthesized or derived from other cannabinoids, like CBD.

How Does THCB Make You Feel?
Although there aren’t many tests that have been conducted on THCB yet, there is some anecdotal evidence from firsthand consumers. First and foremost, THCB is extremely potent, much stronger than Delta-9 THC. Therefore, it only takes a little bit of THCB to get you high.
THCB, just like Delta-9 THC, produces both a cerebral head high and a body high. With THCB, you will feel all of the same effects as with Delta-9 THC, but to a far higher degree.
The cerebral high can be characterized by euphoria, elation, happiness, calmness, and extreme mental and cognitive impairment. You may also feel very floaty, giggly, talkative, and social.
The physical body high can be characterized by extreme physical impairment of motor skills, heaviness, sedation, relaxation, and tingling of the extremities.

back to menu ↑The Effects of THCB
As mentioned above, THCB will produce a classic high, not unlike Delta-9 THC, but of course much stronger. You are going to feel one of the strongest cerebral highs and one of the most potent body highs that you have ever felt in your life. If you like feeling like you’re blasting off in a spaceship, but you’re too relaxed to care, then THCB is worth trying out.
Other than that, there may also be some medical benefits of THCB, although much more research is required on this front. However, due to its similarity to Delta-9 THC, it is thought to have some benefits. These may include its potential to act as a strong painkiller, an anti-inflammatory agent, an appetite stimulant, and a sleep aid.

It will be many years before scientists know the exact pros and cons of THCB. However, some of the potential pros include that it may help relieve pain, act as an anti-inflammatory, may help you sleep, stimulate your appetite, and relax you.
Furthermore, many people will appreciate this cannabinoid due to its extreme potency, so a little bit of it will go a long way. If you get it from the right source, it can be quite cost-effective.
One of the only potential downsides at this time is simply that we don’t know enough about THCB yet. There are likely many other potential benefits that you can reap from it. Another small downside is that it is of course very potent, so it’s not something that you want to consume before you have a long day of chores and work ahead of you.
- May help relieve pain
- Acts as an anti-inflammatory
- High -potency cannabinoid
- Cost-effective
- Not good for long day of chores and work
- More research needs to be done
Can You Smoke THCB?
It is technically possible to smoke THCB. Regular cannabis flower does not contain enough for it to have any effect.
It does first need to be either extracted or synthesized. It could technically then be infused back into a flower. That said, the more common method, when compared to smoking, is vaping. There are plenty of THCB extracts and concentrates that can be vaporized.
Some of the best THCB dabs come from the D8Gas website. You can always check out these Dank-Lite Tropicana Cookies THCB Dabs. This brand, Dank-Lite, also has THCB dabs made with other strains, including this one made of Purple Champagne, and indica, and this one made from the 24K Gold strain, which is a hybrid.
Can You Eat THCB?
Yes, you can eat THCB. There are plenty of edibles out there made with this cannabinoid. Not only are edibles made with THCB fairly potent, but they can also be quite tasty.
One of our favorite products out there are these Mom’s Apple Pie Cookies from Zombi-Extrax that contain 500 mg of various cannabinoids, including THC-B.
There are also other flavors available, including this Zombi Extrax Live Resin Toffee Cookie, which also contains 500 mg of various cannabinoids, including THC-B. You can also try this Trippy Hippy Cookie, which tastes like sweet coconut, chocolate chips, oats, and cranberries.
back to menu ↑THCB vs THC
Perhaps the biggest major difference between THC-B and Delta-9 THC is that THCB has a butyl side chain, whereas Delta-9 THC has a pentyl side chain. Simply put, the molecules look different.
Due to this, it is thought that THCB may be up to 30 times more potent than Delta-9 THC. According to anecdotal evidence, users report that THCB makes them feel much higher than regular Delta-9 THC. However, due to the limited amount of research at this time, there are no other notable differences to speak of.
back to menu ↑Is THCB Legal?
As long as the THCB in question is made out of hemp-derived CBD, and does not contain more than 0.3% Delta-9 THC, then it should be legal according to the 2018 Farm Bill. At this time, THCB is fully federal legal. It is also legal in 41 different states. However, it is important to note that this number is only true at the time of writing. The state-wise regulations for cannabis change practically every week.

Now that we have covered what is THCB, you should have a better understanding of whether or not this cannabidiol is for you.
