Tetrahydro not hexahydro
[edit]H4CBD is TetrahydroCBD not HexahydroCBD The Tetra refers to having 4 more hydrogen groups than CBD itself. CBD has a chemical formula of C21H30O2 while H4CBD has a chemical formula of C21H34O2 which is 4 more hydrogens than CBD has.
To compare Cannabinol (CBN) is C21H26O2, while Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is C21H30O2 which is 4 more hydrogens than CBN has. While Hexahydrocannabinol (HHC) is C21H32O2 which is 6 more hydrogens than CBN has. Tetra for 4 and Hexa for 6, the reduction of a single carbon bond would yield 2 hydrogens, H4CBD has 2 carbon bonds removed. Gettinglit (talk) 15:54, 18 April 2023 (UTC)
