How To Know If A THC-B Product Is Fake

Did you know tetrahydrocannabutol (THC-B) is one of the very latest cannabinoids to hit the market?  Not only that, but it’s quickly proving to be yet another extremely in-demand options for those who love the psychoactive side of the hemp plant.  And, given its growing demand, it’s sadly not surprising that there are companies making fake THC-B products, hoping to pull one over on inexperienced users.  Luckily, avoiding fakes is a piece of cake when you know what to look for.

Why Fakes Exist on the Hemp Market

It’s sad to know that there are fake THC-B products in circulation, but it shouldn’t be too surprising, either.  The bottom line is that psychoactive cannabinoids are profitable and in demand, so of course there will be some shady business owners trying to fake their way into the market.  And, THC-B is easy to fake since it’s so new that most people have nothing to compare it to.

Types of Fakes You Might Run into

There are a few different ways in which a THC-B product can be “fake.”  Let’s cover the main ones so you know what to be looking out for when you go shopping.

• Knock-Off Products: A knock-off would be a THC-B product made by one company, designed to look exactly like the product made by a more popular company – similar to a knockoff designer handbag.  What’s inside the formula is actually a low-quality product, or one that doesn’t contain any THC-B.
• Products that Contain Zero (or Almost Zero) THC-B: Then, there are products advertised as THC-B products, which either contain no THC-B, or contain so little THC-B that they can’t possibly give you any meaningful effectiveness.
• Products Made with Harmful Ingredients: While not technically a fake, you still want to strictly avoid a product that does ultimately contain THC-B, but also contains harmful ingredients that can do damage to the body – for instance, vitamin E added to vape oil, which has been linked to severe respiratory problems.

Avoiding a Fake THC-B Product: What to Look For 

Now, let’s talk about what to be looking at when buying a THC-B product, to completely avoid the risk of ending up with one of the types of fake products above.

#1: Look at the Third-Party Lab Reports

Perhaps the best thing you can do before buying any THC-B product is to look at the third-party lab reports on the brand’s website, because that’s where you’ll get to read unbiased information regarding its legitimacy.  Third-party lab reports show that the product has been thoroughly analyzed by a state-authorized third-party laboratory, for all kinds of factors that tell you exactly what you’re getting. 

Look at the cannabinoid breakdown column, and you should see the amount of THC-B that’s in the product, as well as its purity level, which should be about 90% or so.  Keep in mind that there’s no such thing as a 100% pure THC-B distillate.

#2: Look at Online Reviews

Before buying THC-B, read the reviews left for not only that one product, but the company’s other products as well, to get a feel for how other people feel about them.  If the company is making fake products, these reviews will quickly give them away.  Don’t just look on the company’s website, either.  Search around the internet, checking out YouTube, Reddit and so on to find out what people have to say about the brand, to get a feel for how people feel about their products.

#3: Consider the Company You’re Buying It From

Basically, certain types of retailers should be strictly avoided, since they’re far more likely to carry fakes.  For example, a gas station is not a good place to look for THC-B, since the people who own these businesses don’t really have the incentive to screen each hemp product for quality or legitimacy.  Always stick to a trusted online company like Binoid, where you know that they have a strong reputation to maintain in the hemp industry, and also remember that buying online gives you more assurance than buying locally.

#4: Read the Label Carefully

The label of a product can tell you a lot about what’s inside.  For one thing, the ingredients should never contain any questionable additives, and should always contain an amount of THC-B milligram-wise that’s actually going to be effective.  Besides that, look for spelling or grammar errors on the label, which can show that a company is unprofessional and willing to cut corners.

Spotting a Fake According to the Product Type

As you know, THC-B comes in a wide array of product types, so let’s get more specific about spotting a fake specific type of THC-B product.

THC-B Vapes

THC-B vapes should only contain pure hemp – zero additives – and that’s the first thing to look for.  Also, the vape oil should smell and taste like cannabis, because of all of the terpenes in it, without any weird chemical smell.  The label should clearly state the name of the strain on the label.  Look at the lab reports, as this is where you’ll quickly discover whether or not the hemp extracts have been diluted or tampered with in any way.

THC-B Gummies

THC-B gummies are a product you’ll want to really take your time looking over.  Because gummies can contain many ingredients, it’s easier for questionable ingredients to get snuck in there.  Besides that, you’ll want to read the ingredients to be sure that there’s THC-B in there, and enough THC-B to deliver its desired effects.

THC-B Tinctures

With a THC-B tincture, make sure that the milligram strength is high enough to give you the effects that you’re looking for.  And, look at the ingredients, because a tincture doesn’t need to contain more than just THC-B distillate, plus a carrier oil.  Also, if it’s a straight THC-B distillate tincture, it shouldn’t have a strong smell, unless flavoring has been added to it.  If it’s a full spectrum tincture, it should smell like hemp.
