“Is THCH really legal?”

In conclusion, THCH is legal at this stage (latest May 2023).

However, THCH is a new type of cannabinoid and has properties different from conventional cannabis. Therefore, while THCH acts similarly to traditional THC, it has a significantly different legal status.

“Why THCH is legal”

CBD and THC have become widely known over the past few years. The newest cannabinoid, THCH, is also creating a new craze in this world. The reason is that THCH is not currently regulated, so it is particularly distributed in the United States and Japan. Therefore, it is legal to use, buy and sell products containing THC-H.


“THCH vs THC: Difference in sensation”

THCH and THC are both components naturally present in hemp and are called cannabinoids. It is often said in online articles that ``THCH has XX times more psychoactive effects than THC.'' However, most THCH vape liquids are diluted to between 10% and 30%, making them as strong as or even stronger than THC. There are various theories, but it is said to be 10 times more powerful than THC.


“Is THC-H legal in the world?”

Currently, THCH is legally handled not only in Japan but also in many other countries. However, you need to be careful as there are countries where vaping is prohibited in the first place, and vaping may be mistaken for THC when brought into the country.

For example, vape products are prohibited in Thailand. Also, in the Philippines, the crackdown on substances with psychoactive effects is quite strict, so you need to be careful.


“What if I get a job offer at THCH?”

Possession of THCH products does not pose any legal issues as the ingredients are legal. However, it is recommended to have a product ingredient label or certificate to prove that the product contains only THC-H. Also, if you have a receipt to prove your purchase, you can rest assured!

“The risk of purchasing THCH”

When purchasing THCH products, it is important to make sure that the product does not actually contain illegal substances such as THC. A product's label should clearly state the ingredients it contains. Please note that if you accidentally purchase a product that may contain illegal ingredients (e.g. THC), you may find yourself in legal trouble. Therefore, it is important to always check the ingredients of a product before purchasing and to buy from a reliable source.

"I didn't know" is not enough, so you need to be very careful.
Individual sellers may run away without taking responsibility, so be sure to purchase from a shop you can trust.


“Is Twitter Mercari’s THCH really safe?”

Be careful about THCH products you see on Twitter, Facebook, Mercari, etc. Be careful if you cannot confirm the seller's credibility, or if the product's detailed information (component list, etc.) or display is unclear. Therefore, in order to safely purchase THCH products, it is safest to purchase from trusted companies, shops, and brands.


In fact, there is a case in which a famous Japanese company detected about 1% delta-9-THC in its THCH products, which caused a problem. There have also been problems with the manufacture of edible products such as gummies using raw materials that have not been cleared by customs as food products, resulting in the suspension of sales.


“Forecasting the future of THCH and cannabis legalization”

Laws and regulations regarding cannabis and its components have changed significantly depending on the country and region in recent years. Recently, recreational cannabis was legalized in Germany.
The distribution of THCH can be said to be a step towards legalizing cannabis. However, there are still many challenges ahead in a future where cannabis is fully legalized.
