How to take THC-O correctly
From finding safe products to getting the mood right.
You’ve heard of Delta-8 and Delta-10, but THC-O is in a whole new league – and it’s just about to hit the mainstream. THC-O starts with a naturally occurring form of THC, but is synthesized in a laboratory to make something much stronger than normal THC.
This powerful high can even be obtained from hemp. So depending on where you live, you can probably get it in the mail instead of going to a pharmacy. That being said, there is still some debate over whether THC-O is “synthetic THC” under federal law, which is still a controlled substance and illegal, even if it’s made from hemp. So proceed with caution. Since it can only be produced in a laboratory under very specific conditions, every THC-O product is only as good as its manufacturer. But with established, reputable hemp companies like The Hemp Doctor entering the room, you don’t have to go too far to find something to trust.

Getting a THC-O high is an exhilarating experience, but you probably won’t want to enjoy it when you have something to do, even if you usually smoke cannabis as a college friend or to add interest to the food. Taking your attitude into account is crucial to having a good time, especially if this is your first time trying it out.
Here’s a little background on this cannabis craze – and how you can prepare for success.
Manufacturers like The Hemp Doctor have perfected their extraction processes so you can get a higher quality oil with no dangerous by-products.
What exactly is THC-O?
The full name of THC-O is THC-O-Acetate, and when it’s made from hemp it usually starts out as a Delta-8 extract. What makes it larger than life, and why it can only be made in the laboratory, is acetic anhydride. This chemical is highly corrosive and flammable, so don’t do this yourself – having a house that doesn’t burn will add to a better THC-O and life experience.
In addition, manufacturers like The Hemp Doctor have already perfected their extraction processes so that you get a higher quality oil with no dangerous by-products. One more reason to leave it to the experts.
As soon as it becomes an acetate, THC gets a big boost in potency, with some even calling its effects psychedelic. The end product is a thick but viscous oil that can be prepared for eating or vaping.
What is the correct dose of THC-O?
The Hemp Doctor recommends starting slowly, even if you have a high tolerance to other forms of THC: take a short puff for a vape cart and wait at least 30 minutes before pulling again. In a high quality cart like The Hemp Doctor’s THC-O Acetate Vape Cart Oil, the pull can be incredibly smooth, so make sure you don’t accidentally pull on it too hard!
Creating the Right THC-O Experience
For the optimal THC-O experience, you should set the right mood – and that mood won’t go to Six Flags and every roller coaster ride. Instead, try these ideas.
Art party
Grab a few of your closest friends, put all of your painting supplies together, lay out a rag, and take a swig of an energizing THC-O strain like Trainwreck. Then start creating – you could get weird with it or just draw little smileys, depending on where the high is taking you.
Beach blanket buds
If it’s a nice day, plan on a relaxing beach slope with snacks, plenty of drinking water, and some shade. Don’t plan on swimming, just bask in the sea air and sunshine. A balanced hybrid THC-O strain like Runtz completes the picture.
Extra cozy movie night
Grab some feel-good films that you haven’t seen in a long time – maybe a number of them – and stock up on plenty of microwaveable popcorn or whatever your favorite movie snack is. Snuggle up in a blanket, take a drag of a THC-O-Indica strain like Skywalker OG, and start your marathon. It’s okay to fall asleep in the theater if it’s your own couch.
Nature hike
Hiking is a proven activity for stoners, but don’t overdo it the first time you try THC-O. Is there a park nearby with beautiful sights and easy paths? A botanical garden? Somewhere with a lot of birds? Bring a water bottle, friend, and an invigorating strain like Amnesia Haze.
Gorilla Glue game night
A game night is a relaxed way to have fun, whether you’re playing card games, board games, video games, or something completely different. Will this hybrid THC-O strain add an extra layer of challenge to a racing game – or will it make you strangely unstoppable during charades?
Find these smokable THC-O strains from The Hemp Doctor and breathe easy knowing you are getting only high quality, thoroughly tested extracts.
