In the world of cannabinoids, the question of THC presence in CBD products is frequently raised. French legislation is strict, specifying that a CBD product can contain a maximum of 0.2% THC. Experts, including Charles Morel, state that completely separating THC and CBD is complex, resulting in trace amounts of THC in CBD products. Therefore, you may need to understand the difference between these cannabinoids to decide which product best suits your needs.
Different cannabinoid profiles
The three main cannabinoids are CBD (cannabidiol), THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), and HHC (hexahydrocannabinol). Their main characteristics are as follows:
- CBD : Non-psychotropic, known for its calming properties.
- THC : Psychotropic drug, known for its euphoric effects and restricted legal status.
- HHC : A rare compound derived from hemp but often artificially synthesized, offering relaxing effects without being identical to THC.
The search for an alternative to THC
Faced with legal restrictions on THC, some people are turning to HHC, a cannabinoid obtained through a chemical hydrogenation process. While it offers relaxing effects similar to THC, it is considered a legal alternative since it does not produce the same psychoactive effects.

Co-founder of CBD.fr
Julien Cordobes is the editor of CBD.fr. Born in 1978 in the Paris region, he first trained in e-commerce before turning to natural health approaches, a dual perspective that now structures his way of writing about cannabidiol: reading the scientific literature as it is, without hardening the conclusions, and presenting it in a language that everyone understands.
He discovered CBD at a time when the French market was developing faster than the information available to it. He acquired CBD.fr in 2022 and then took on editorial responsibility for the blog. Since then, he has published numerous articles covering the daily use of CBD, the interpretation of laboratory analyses, the evolution of the legal framework, and precautions for use.
