How is THC-O Made?

Posted on Oct 17, 2022 By Travis Forshey

The cannabis industry never ceases to surprise us. So how to keep up with all of the news when you’re still stuck in the Delta 9 THC era? We’re here to educate and share our knowledge, so stay tuned! In today’s episode of have you ever heard of, we introduce you to…

Have you ever heard of THC-O? 

It’s just like Delta 8, for example, a substance derived from hemp. However, it’s known for its incredible potency - it’s said to be even three times stronger than regular THC (meaning Delta 9), so comparing it to Delta 8 may be pretty pointless. It’s way, way more intense. This chemical compound is a unique substance. What do we know about it so far? Should you even care, or is it just a trend that will fade away rather quickly?

Okay, we won’t keep you waiting. THC-O is something you need to get your hands on THC-O and here’s why.

How is THC-O made, and what do you need to know about it?

THC-O features among the hemp-derived cannabinoids with a molecular structure similar to Delta-9 THC, such as Delta-8 THC or Delta-10 THC.

THC-O acetate - also known as tetrahydrocannabinol or THC-O - doesn’t occur in nature. That’s why what you’ll see in your THC products will be a synthetic, non-natural cannabinoid. Chemically speaking - contrary to cannabinoids occurring naturally in hemp plants, THC-O is a synthetic substance, an ester of THC, synthesized using acetic anhydride. Where does it start?

How does the process of synthetizing THC-O work?

How is THC O acetate made? Firstly, manufacturers have to convert extracted from the hemp plant CBD into Delta-8 THC to synthesise THC-O. Then, in the next step, they add acetic anhydride to the Delta 8 THC molecules in order to finally produce THC-O acetate.

Why do manufacturers synthetize THC-O?

It’s not the same as with Delta 8 THC - because Delta 8 does occur in nature in minimal amounts, an issue is producing enough volume. Therefore, using CBD and converting it into Delta 8 is more simple and, in the end, affordable for customers. Imagine how expensive would fully-natural Delta 8 would be!

With THC-O, the story is entirely different. It simply has to be synthetized, because it can’t be derived from hemp in any form.

how is thc o made

Why is THC-O so special?

You already know how is THC-O made. But why is everyone talking about it?

As we mentioned before, THC-O is reported to be not only three times as potent as regular THC but also visibly more psychedelic. Therefore, it can help you achieve a high on a more spiritual level than other forms of THC.

Additionally, THCO behaves in your body quite differently from regular THC. It can only be activated after being processed by your liver. That’s why it lasts longer and acts as a prodrug.

What’s important to note, THC O’s effects usually take longer to kick in. It doesn’t matter whether you take it in the form of vapes or edibles; the time until you feel the first effects will be longer than with other forms or THC. 

If you don’t know yet, THC-O can be taken by vaping and smoking, but also in a form of edibles.
