⚠️ Legal Notice (Updated July 2025)
As of June 2025, Malta has officially banned HHC-C9 (also known as CC9) under Legal Notice 98 of 2025, and previously banned HHC and related synthetic cannabinoids under earlier regulations. These substances are now illegal to sell, possess, or distribute in Malta.
This article remains online for educational and historical reference only. Cannabis Clinics Malta and D Vape Store no longer offer or promote any HHC products and fully comply with Maltese law.
Understanding HHC (Archived Educational Guide)
Hexahydrocannabinol (HHC) was one of several cannabinoids derived from hemp, similar in structure to THC. It gained popularity in wellness markets for offering a more stable, longer-lasting cannabinoid alternative, which at the time made it attractive in regions with restrictions on THC.
Former Key Attributes of HHC
While HHC is no longer legal in Malta, it had been described as having:
-
Subtle Psychoactive Effects: Reported to be milder than THC, producing gentle relaxation without overpowering effects.
-
Potential Pain Relief: Users claimed HHC helped alleviate chronic pain and inflammation.
-
Stress Reduction & Better Sleep: Anecdotal reports suggested it could support calm and improved rest.
Previously Available HHC Products (Now Discontinued)
Before the regulatory ban, Cannabis Clinics Malta and D Vape Store carried a limited, curated selection of HHC products, which are now no longer available:
-
Vape Cartridges: Once available in various strains and flavours.
-
Edibles: Including gummies and chocolates for longer-lasting effects.
-
Oils: Used sublingually or in topical applications.
All such products were immediately removed following the government ban in 2024–2025.
Past Safety Guidance (No Longer Applicable)
When HHC products were legal, consumers were advised to:
-
Begin with low doses to assess personal tolerance.
-
Avoid operating vehicles or machinery.
-
Speak to a healthcare provider before use.
-
Purchase only from trusted sources.
This guidance is now archived for reference only, as HHC and related compounds are prohibited in Malta.
