The CBD and cannabinoid market is evolving at dazzling speed. Many of you remember the arrival on the front of the HHC scene, a legal molecule in several European countries, very popular for its felt effects similar to those of other better known derivatives. However, between changes in legislation, controversies about the origin of certain molecules and the arrival of new more successful products, we are witnessing a real revolution in the sector. The time has come to review everything and take a close interest in HHC replacements, notably the CRD and the THV-N10 proposed by Buddha Farm's.
Many of you want to be informed about these alternatives. The most recurrent questions relate to their legality, their effects, the security of their consumption and their popularity in France and in Europe. To answer your questions, we offer a complete panorama of these newcomers to the cannabinoid market.
This article aims to be informative and journalistic. It addresses all the essential points so that you can make an informed choice: origin of these molecules, consumption methods, issues of the legislation and key statistical data in the sector. As enthusiasts and experts in the distribution of cannabinoid products, we will send you maximum details.
Little reminder: What is HHC and why look for replacements?
HHC (hexahydrocannabinol) is a hydrogenated cannabinoid from THC. It has gained popularity thanks to its effects that can recall those of other more controlled molecules. It was notably marketed in different forms: impregnated flowers, cartridges for vaping, oils, etc.
Despite its success, the HHC is the subject of controversy and uncertainties:
- Fluctuating legal status : Some countries have restricted it, others have left a vagueness. In France, the authorities remain on their guard.
- Safety and traceability : not all HHC products are created equal and the provenance is not always clear.
- Growing demand from consumers for more “natural” products : even if HHC is derived from hemp, the hydrogenation process can sometimes raise questions.
Today, we are looking for promising alternatives that combine legality, security, traceability and satisfactory effects. This is where the CRD and the THV-N10 enter the scene, with the desire to supplant HHC on the market.
The main trends in the cannabinoid market
According to studies carried out in Europe (aggregated data of cabinets specialized in the field of hemp extracts), the market of so-called “alternative” cannabinoids (such as HHC, THCV, Delta-8-Thc or even unpublished compounds The THV-N10) should grow by more than 30 % per year over the next three years. In France, the CBD sector has already reached a turnover estimated at 400 million euros in 2022, with an annual growth rate of 20 to 40 %.
Alternative products with “classic” THC (which remains strictly controlled) seduce:
- Consumers looking for moderate effects : users often want to bypass the risks associated with highly dosed THC and remain in legality.
- An increasingly varied offer : the market continues to offer new molecules.
- More specialized stores : today there are more than 2,000 CBD physical points of sale in France, not to mention e-commerce.
It is in this context that CRD and THV-N10 position themselves as potential and very serious replacements of HHC.
The CRD: an unknown but promising cannabinoid
What is the CRD?
The CRD (Cannabidiol reacted derivative, sometimes called “cannabinoid reaction derived”) is a still quite recent product. It is in the same “family” of innovative cannabinoids as HHC, but with some important shades:
- Creation process : The CRD is obtained by a specific chemical reaction which modifies the structure of the CBD or other cannabinoids. The objective is to obtain a different effect from that of the classic CBD, while remaining in legal compliance.
- Different action spectrum : According to the first returns, the CRD would have a wider action spectrum than CBD alone, especially in terms of relaxation and sensation of lightness.
It is important to note that, as for HHC, there is still a lack of scientific perspective on the CRD. It is a “new” cannabinoid that arouses interest, but whose long -term studies are still very limited.
Why choose the CRD by replacing HHC?
The CRD is sometimes considered more “gentle” than HHC. Some consumers have expressed more measured, less oppressive, or even more pleasant effects. Other returns report a clearer feeling, less mentally “heavy” than that reported with HHC.
In addition, from a legal point of view, the CRD is less monitored at the moment. The authorities are rather focused on HHC and other THC derivatives. It is not excluded that the CRD attracts attention to the future, but to date, marketing seems more serene.
CRD products from Buddha Farm's
Buddha Farm's has made a name for itself in France and Europe in the CBD and alternative cannabinoid sector. Their CRD range is generally available in:
- Vaping cartridges : a practical way to feel the effects quickly.
- Concentrated extracts : ideal for those looking for a more marked effect and who like to personalize their mixtures (for example in dabbing).
- Infused flowers : they gain popularity, because they allow you to enjoy the natural aroma of hemp, while benefiting from the specific effects of the CRD.
The CRD of Buddha Farm's is renowned for:
- Its great purity : cannabinoid rates display high peaks.
- Transparency of the manufacturing process : laboratory tests, certifications, etc.
- Positive consumer returns : many opinions highlight the quality and the absence of a unpleasant “descent” feeling.
THV-N10: the other rising market on the market
Where does the THV-N10 come from?
The THV-N10 (tetrahydrocannabivarine N-10) is a rare derivative of hemp, relatively close to THCV (tetrahydrocannabivarine). It is characterized by a unique chemical structure. It is attributed to potentially energizing or “clarifying” effects, even if research is sorely lacking in order to be final.
If we believe the feedback available on the American market, the THV-N10 would be more “functional”: less sedative, more stimulating and more focused on vigilance.
The advantages of THV-N10 compared to HHC
- A potentially more “active” feeling : where the HHC sometimes causes a lethargic state, the THV-N10 would have a more “light” effect on the body, allowing to remain productive.
- Less risks of “bad buzz” : many users report a decrease in negative sensations, such as anxiety.
- Little reversal of undesirable effects : the THV-N10, still not very widespread, has not yet been the subject of many warnings. We nevertheless advise prudence, because each organism reacts differently.
Buddha Farm's Thv-N10 products
Buddha Farm's also offers references based on THV-N10:
- Concentrated and oils : perfect for precise dosage and varied use (vaporization, ingestion, etc.).
- Cannabinoid mixtures : associate the THV-N10 with other molecules, such as CBD or CBG, can create synergistic effects (entourage effect).
The THV-N10 marketed by Buddha Farm's meets the same requirements as their other products: quality, laboratory tests, neat packaging and explanatory sheets provided.
Quick comparison: CRD vs Thv-N10 vs HHC
| Criteria | HHC | CRD | THV-N10 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Origin | Hydrogenated de derivative of THC | CBD reaction derivative or other cannabinoid | Rare form linked to THCV (hemp variant) |
| Current popularity | High, but in decline following controversy | Growing, still relatively unknown | In the midst of emergence in the United States, begins in Europe |
| Reported effects | Relaxing, sometimes heavy | Softer relaxation, clearer spirit | More energizing, less sedative effect |
| Legality | Blurred in some countries | Still little regulated, therefore tolerated | Little legislated, in the evaluation phase |
| Availability | Wide, but with great quality differences | Available with specialized brands | Still rare, is especially in a few pioneers |
| Adapted to daily use | Variable, depends on the sensitivity | More suitable, little negative feedback | Potentially interesting for the day |
The importance of transparency and traceability
Whether you are interested in CRD, THV-N10 or any other alternative cannabinoid, a golden rule is essential: always check traceability. With the exponential growth of the market, it is vital to ensure that:
- The analysis certificates are available : serious brands provide third -party laboratory reports indicating the exact rate of each cannabinoid and attesting to the absence of heavy metals, pesticides or residual solvents.
- The ingredients are clearly listed : make sure there are no dubious additives or dangerous cutting agents.
- The origin of hemp is known : hemp cultivated in Europe, the United States or Canada often meets strict standards.
Buddha Farm's, as such, highlights a transparency policy. Each batch is the subject of analyzes. This is a crucial point, because the frauds are unfortunately not rare in this booming universe.
Employment safety and use councils
Dosage
Each person reacts differently to alternative cannabinoids. It is recommended to start with a small quantity, especially if you discover the CRD or the THV-N10:
- For oils : start with a few drops, wait at least an hour before readjusting.
- For infused or concentrated flowers : some vaporization breaths may be enough to measure tolerance.
The council still remains to go gradually to avoid inconvenience.
Potential side effects
Even if there is a lack of scientific decline, consumer feedback indicates that the major side effects are rare, even almost non -existent in the majority of cases. Among the possible reactions, we evoke:
- Light headache.
- A dry mouth.
- Sedative effects (variable depending on the product, rather with CRD) or more energizing (with THV-N10).
Stay listening to your body. If you feel a too strong adverse effect, space the sockets or decrease the dosage.
Contraindication
The same precautions as for CBD or THC apply:
- Avoid consumption if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
- Consult a healthcare professional if you are undergoing medical treatment because drug interactions are possible.
- Avoid driving if you experience effects altering your responsiveness.
Legal issues around new cannabinoids
In France, the legislation authorizes the marketing of hemp products whose THC rate is less than 0.3 %. The other cannabinoids are not explicitly supervised, provided they are not classified in the list of narcotics.
The HHC has aroused the attention of the authorities, and certain European countries, such as Austria or Finland, have already decided to ban or restrict this molecule. For the moment, the CRD and the THV-N10 remain in a relative vagueness. It is therefore judicious to:
- Regularly check the development of the regulations.
- Inquire with reliable resellers.
The probability is strong that the public authorities end up looking at these newcomers, as was the case for CBD or HHC. This is why it is crucial to keep you informed to stay in responsible and legal use.
Encrypted data that shows the explosion of the market
The CBD and alternative cannabinoid sector is in full swing. Some figures:
- Annual growth : In 2023, the European CBD market would have crossed the 2 billion euros mark, according to estimates of sectoral research firms.
- Share of alternative products (HHC, CRD, THV-N10, etc.) : it is estimated that around 15 % to 20 % of global sales in specialized stores concern these new cannabinoids, a figure up more than 50 % compared to Last year.
- Loyalty : 62 % of consumers who have tried products based on CRD or THV-N10 declare that they want to recommend it, evoking more effects with their expectations.
- Distribution of uses :
- 45 % use it for relaxation or stress management.
- 25 % are looking for support to improve their sleep.
- 20 % use it to increase their concentration or creativity.
- 10 % have other motivations (chronic pain, curiosity, etc.).
These figures, although statistics and brought to evolve, testify to the craze for these innovative molecules.
How is Buddha Farm's positioned in this expanding market?
Buddha Farm's is recognized for the quality of its products and for being among the first to offer, in France, Thv-N10 and CRD. Their commitment:
- Rigorous selection of raw materials : hemp cultivated without GMOs, with regular control of pesticides.
- Partner laboratories : advanced analyzes to guarantee purity.
- Constant innovation : the R&D team of Buddha Farm's is working on the development of new extracts, sometimes in association with CBG, CBC or specific terpenes.
This brand is gradually imposed as a reference, particularly for those who seek to get out of the classic scheme of the simple CBD or the now controversial HHC.
The entourage effect: the key to a personalized experience
If you are interested in the CRD or the THV-N10, you may have already heard of the entourage effect. He describes the synergy between the different cannabinoids and terpenes present in the hemp plant.
- Mix CRD and CBD : can make it possible to obtain a balance between gentle relaxation and slight hovering effect, without being too heavy.
- Combine Thv-N10, CBD and CBG : can potentially amplify the energizing effect of THV-N10 while maintaining the clarity of mind.
Each person being unique, the dosage and the felt effects will vary. The idea is to find the combination that suits you best.
What do consumers say?
To get a more concrete idea, some user feedback (according to online surveys on specialized groups and forums):
- Muriel, 38 : “I tested HHC and CRD. I preferred the CRD of Buddha Farm's because I found the effects more mastered. Less drowsiness, and I felt very relaxed after a work day. ”
- Gilles, 54 : “I was looking for an alternative after reading a lot of controversy over HHC. I opted for the THV-N10. Frankly, I had a boost of energy and less stress. I even sleep better. It suits me. ”
- Sonia, 29 : “I love new molecules, I am quite curious. I liked the CRD because it relaxes me. The THV-N10 gives me a slight boost. Depending on my days, I choose one or the other. ”
These testimonies do not replace clinical studies, but they give an interesting overview of the user experience.
How to integrate CRD and THV-N10 into your daily routine?
- In the morning : a product based on THV-N10 can be an ally if you feel the need for a boost to start the day well, without excessive nervousness.
- The afternoon : CRD or THV-N10 can accompany a moment of break. It all depends on your sensitivity: some prefer the CRD to relax, others remain on the THV-N10 to maintain constant energy.
- In the evening : if your goal is to relax before sleeping, a product based on CRD can suit you better than a potentially energizing cannabinoid.
The important thing is to test gently to see what best suits your pace of life.
The range of available products: how to choose?
SULBLINGUAL OILS
A great classic. You can place a few drops under the tongue, which allows rapid absorption via the oral mucous membranes. CRD or THV-N10 oils can be more or less concentrated (eg 5 %, 10 %, 15 %).
Benefits :
- Precise dosage.
- Quick absorption.
- Versatile (can also be mixed with drinks or dishes).
Disadvantages :
- The taste can be strong if there are no added aromas.
- The effect can last a little less than other formats, even if the climb is fast.
Infused flowers or resins
More and more brands are offering hemp flowers “enriched” in CRD or THV-N10. The experience is close to that of classic CBD, in addition with the specific effects of added molecules.
Benefits :
- Taste and scent typical of hemp.
- “Ritual” experience for amateurs.
- Often combined with natural terpenes.
Disadvantages :
- More delicate dosage control.
- Requires an adapted vaporizer or another method of consumption.
Vape cartridges
Vaping is a very popular mode of consumption: almost instantaneous effect and great diversity of aromas.
Benefits :
- Fast effect.
- Ease of use.
Disadvantages :
- Requires an adapted device.
- The duration of the effect can be shorter than with ingested oils.
Concentrated (dab, wax, crumble)
These formats are intended for experienced users because they are very powerful. A CRD or THV-N10 DAB can provide an almost immediate and fairly intense effect.
Benefits :
- Precise dosage, if you are used to it.
- Marked effects.
Disadvantages :
- Requires special equipment (DAB RIG, E-Nail, etc.).
- Can be confusing for novices.
The future prospects for the CRD and the THV-N10
The market is changing. While the HHC is more and more pointed out, the CRD and the THV-N10 can impose itself as the new darling of the moment. However, the future will also depend on regulatory decisions. Several scenarios are possible:
- Strict regulation of all the molecules related to THC : the authorities could decide to put in the same basket all the derivatives, making access more difficult.
- Examination on a case -by -case basis : new cannabinoids could be authorized under strict conditions (traceability, maximum rate, etc.).
- Recognition of their therapeutic interest : if more extensive studies show medical utility, one could see a specific regulation (as for certain drugs based on cannabis).
In all cases, we see that consumers become demanding: they want reliable, tested products, and seeking a certain balance between well-being and respect for legislation.
Why take an interest in these HHC replacements rather than staying on “classic” products?
The CBD market has its followers, and many are swelling by classic CBD to manage stress or pain. However, HHC replacements target an audience in search of a different experience:
- A rise in more pronounced effects : the CRD or the THV-N10 often offer a more marked feeling than the CBD alone, without falling into excess.
- Variable effect profiles : some seek a sedative effect, others a boost effect.
- Curiosity : cannabinoid lovers like to explore the different shades offered by these molecules.
