Meet THCP
THCP — tetrahydrocannabiphorol — belongs to the increasingly broad family of cannabinoids being discussed within the modern cannabis and hemp industry.
Its emergence demonstrates just how far cannabinoid science and commercial extraction have moved beyond the days when almost every conversation revolved around only CBD and THC.
But newer doesn't automatically mean better.
And it certainly doesn't automatically mean unrestricted.
THCP vs CBD
CBD and THCP shouldn't be treated as interchangeable products.
CBD has an established commercial presence and its own regulatory considerations.
THCP is a different cannabinoid and should be evaluated independently, particularly when considering the UK's controlled-drug and psychoactive-substance frameworks.
This is precisely why New Amsterdam avoids the phrase:
"Hemp-derived means legal."
That's far too simplistic for the UK market.
Know What You're Buying
With specialist cannabinoid products, customers should pay attention to:
Cannabinoid composition
Concentration
Laboratory documentation
Manufacturer information
Batch information
Product classification
Relevant legal restrictions
We believe education needs to grow alongside the cannabinoid industry.
The New Amsterdam Approach
We're fascinated by emerging cannabinoids.
But being interested in innovation doesn't mean abandoning standards.
As our own New Amsterdam ranges develop, we'll continue placing product information, testing and quality control at the centre of what we're building.
