OH-iso-HHCV is a cannabinoid database label used for hydroxylated iso-HHCV related structures. Because naming collisions happen, you should verify the exact compound by PubChem CID (or another authoritative identifier) rather than relying on the shorthand name alone.

Can I target OH-iso-HHCV with one vaporizing temperature?

There is no widely accepted single temperature for isolating OH-iso-HHCV in a dry herb session. A stepped temperature approach is more realistic for repeatable extraction without combustion.

OH-iso-HHCV

Q: Why does artificial gastric juice matter in CBD conversations?

A forensic toxicology study reported that cannabidiol (CBD) can convert in artificial gastric juice into Δ9-THC and related cannabinoids, including hydroxylated HHC-like compounds. This is a chemistry finding under specific lab conditions, not a guarantee of the same outcome in every real-world scenario.

Q: Is OH-iso-HHCV the same as 8-OH-iso-HHC?

Not necessarily. 8-OH-iso-HHC is a specific hydroxylated HHC-related compound discussed in the gastric conversion literature. OH-iso-HHCV is a separate label that may refer to an iso-HHCV related structure in databases. Confirm by identifiers like PubChem CID.

This one gets messy fast because the name is used differently across references. So this page is built like a lab notebook: define the term, anchor it to identifiers, then talk conversion chemistry (including the famous “CBD in artificial gastric juice” paper) without turning it into a fairy tale.

OH-iso-HHCV Infographic

What It Is

OH-iso-HHCV is a label used in cannabinoid databases for a hydroxylated iso-HHCV related structure. In practice, you will see it referenced as a minor or analytical cannabinoid, often in the context of cataloging rare compounds or supporting identification work.

Chemistry rule: if the name is fuzzy, do not argue in comment sections. Anchor to a database identifier.

Why The Name Is Confusing

OH-iso-HHCV can appear as a synonym or shorthand across multiple listings. For example:

PubChem: Cannabiglendol PubChem lists OH-ISO-HHCV as a synonym on the Cannabiglendol record. Use CID 156998 to lock the identity. Open PubChem

PubChem: OH-iso-HHCV-C3 PubChem also has a distinct entry labeled OH-iso-HHCV-C3 (CID 168477876). Open PubChem

Cannabis Database entry Cannabis Database includes an OH-iso-HHCV description card used for reference and identification context. Open entry

What this means You can not assume two sites are talking about the exact same structure unless the identifiers match. Use CIDs, CAS, or InChIKeys when available.

CBD Conversion In Artificial Gastric Juice

A widely cited forensic toxicology study reported that cannabidiol (CBD) can convert in artificial gastric juice into Δ9-THC and related cannabinoids, including hydroxylated HHC-like compounds such as 8-OH-iso-HHC and 9α-OH-HHC. The study also evaluated THC-like effects in mice for those related compounds.

Read the primary citation: Forensic Toxicology (2007): Conversion of cannabidiol to Δ9-THC and related cannabinoids in artificial gastric juice .

Important: “artificial gastric juice” is a controlled lab setup. It is evidence of a possible chemical pathway under those conditions. It is not a blanket promise of identical conversion in every human stomach, every time, for every product.

If you want a modern overview of the debate and follow-up literature, this review summarizes the conversion topic and references the 2007 paper: PMC review: Conversion of Cannabidiol (CBD) into Psychotropic Cannabinoids .

Why It Matters

Identity matters: “OH-iso-HHCV” can point to different records depending on the source. Verify by CID.
Conversion claims need context: the best citations are specific about conditions (artificial gastric juice, analytical methods).
Consumer claims often overreach: “CBD always turns into THC” is not what careful reading says.
Vaporization avoids combustion chemistry: heat control matters if you are trying to keep sessions repeatable and cleaner.

Vaporizing Notes

There is no reliable consumer-facing “one temperature” that isolates OH-iso-HHCV in dry herb. Flower is a matrix. Use a stepped approach that gives you repeatability without pushing into combustion.

Practical Stepped Session Strategy

Warm-up: 365–375°F
Main extraction: 385–400°F
Finish (only if needed): 405–410°F

Faq

Is OH-iso-HHCV a naturally occurring cannabinoid?

It is referenced in cannabinoid databases and appears in cataloging/identification contexts. Because the name can map to different records, confirm the exact entry by PubChem CID before claiming anything about occurrence.

Is OH-iso-HHCV the same as 8-OH-iso-HHC from the gastric conversion study?

Not automatically. The gastric conversion study discusses specific compounds (including 8-OH-iso-HHC and 9α-OH-HHC). OH-iso-HHCV is a separate label used in databases. Verify by identifiers like PubChem CID.

Does CBD convert to THC in the stomach?

A forensic toxicology study showed conversion pathways in artificial gastric juice under lab conditions. That is valuable chemistry evidence, but it does not guarantee identical conversion in all real-world human use scenarios.
