THC-O starts with a naturally occurring form of THC, but goes through synthesis in a lab to make something far more powerful than even standard THC.<\/p>\n<p>This potent high can even be derived from hemp, so depending on where you live, you can likely get it in the mail instead of visiting a dispensary. That being said, there is still some debate about whether THC-O constitutes \u201csynthetic THC\u201d under federal law, which is still a controlled substance and illegal even when derived from hemp, so proceed with caution. Because it can only be made in a lab under very specific conditions, any THC-O product is only going to be as good as its manufacturer. But with established, reputable hemp companies like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leafly.com\/brands\/the-hemp-doctor\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">The Hemp Doctor<\/a> entering the space, you don\u2019t have to go too far to find something you can trust.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leafly.com\/news\/cannabis-101\/what-is-thc-o\" class=\"wp-block-leafly-blocks-leafly-single-inline-block leafly-inline-related-story\" rel=\" nofollow\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"border border-deep-green-alt border-l-0 border-r-0 my-xl p-md font-bold\">\n<p>Related<\/p>\n<p>Meet THC-O, a hemp-derived compound three times stronger than THC<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/a> <\/p>\n<p>A THC-O high is a thrilling experience, but you\u2019re probably not going to want to enjoy it when you have to get anything done, even if you normally smoke cannabis as a study buddy or to make doing dishes more interesting.

In a high-quality cart like The Hemp Doctor\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/thehempdoctor.com\/product\/thc-o-acetate-oil\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">THC-O Acetate Vape Cart Oil<\/a>, the draw can be incredibly smooth, so make sure you\u2019re not inadvertently dragging on it too hard!<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img width=\"1024\" height=\"607\" alt=\"THC-O\" class=\"wp-image-179814 has-ll lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/thcinct.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/how-to-take-thc-o-the-right-way-2.png,compress&amp;w=550 550w, https:\/\/thcinct.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/how-to-take-thc-o-the-right-way-2.png,compress&amp;w=740 740w, https:\/\/thcinct.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/how-to-take-thc-o-the-right-way-2.png,compress&amp;w=1100 1100w, https:\/\/thcinct.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/how-to-take-thc-o-the-right-way-2.png,compress&amp;w=1480 1480w\"><figcaption>Courtesy of The Hemp Doctor<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Creating the right THC-O experience<\/h2>\n<p>For the optimal THC-O experience, you\u2019re going to want to set the mood\u2014and that mood is <em>not<\/em> going to Six Flags and riding every rollercoaster.

Don\u2019t plan on swimming, just bask in the sea air and sunshine.
