THAH arrived in Japan with more questions than answers, a minor industry meltdown, and the sort of “expert users only” warnings that naturally make high-tolerance people sit up a little straighter.
Needless to say, Gohoya’s THAH Liquid was one of the first products I wanted to try—not because I was hoping to decode its proprietary formula from two puffs and a prayer, but because I wanted to know the only thing that really matters once the cart is in your hand:
Does it actually get you lifted?
In my experience? Oh, babe. Yes.
To put it another way, this is a strong, giggly, head-forward cart with enough euphoric lift to make an experienced user pause halfway through a sentence and think, “Ah. There it is.”

Bottom Line:

What’s Inside: Gohoya THAH Liquid Breakdown
Gohoya’s THAH Liquid is a 1 ml 510-thread cartridge available in two flavours: Gorilla Glue and Cotton Candy.
The formula includes:
- THAH: 40%
- H4CBH
- HHBD
- H4CBD
- CBG
- Cannabis-derived terpenes (CDT)
- Hybrid terpenes
Gohoya says the cart has been analyzed by Anresco Laboratories, a U.S. ISO/IEC 17025:2017-accredited third-party lab. The company states that total THC, CBN, and Japanese regulated substances were non-detectable in its testing.
At the time of writing, you can get it from Gohoya’s online store and Amazon. The regular price is ¥13,000, though it is currently on sale for ¥10,800. You will need your own 510-thread battery.
I used mine on a trusty Airis battery at a medium 3.7V. There was no clogging, leaking, burning, or cartridge troubles.
Taste & Terpenes: Gorilla Glue vs. Cotton Candy
Let’s start with the elephant in the room: Cotton Candy is loud. Not “a little sweet.” Not “pleasantly candy-inspired.” It’s F!?KING Loud. The first time I tried it, I was immediately transported back to college. A friend and I would hotbox her parents’ car before attempting to cover the smell with an irresponsible amount of Cotton Candy Juice Bar body spray.
You know the smell. An aggressively sugary, synthetic, yet somehow-still-nostalgic cloud that announces: “A teenager has made bad choices.” It tastes like that.
It lingers in the mouth. It lingers in the air. It is not discreet or demure. The good news, though, is that it does not smell like cannabis, so you are not going to perfume your room like a dispensary. But the bad news is that you may smell like a vape shop inside a 2004 mall kiosk for a while.
There is also a strange spicy edge underneath the sweetness. Gohoya says the formula uses cannabis-derived terpenes alongside hybrid terpenes, and I suspect that spicy little note is the CDT profile trying to poke through the cotton-candy chaos. “Authentic cannabis flavour” is not the phrase I would use here. So let’s stick with nostalgic.
Gorilla Glue, on the other hand, was much quieter. I barely noticed much flavour at all, which is not necessarily glamorous, but it was easier on my throat and far more discreet. If you do not like sweet vape flavours, Gorilla Glue is the obvious pick.
Effects & Experience
0–10 Minutes: Behind the Eyes
For my first test, I took two three-second puffs of Cotton Candy. But for new users, I would strongly recommend starting with one small puff. This is not a cart where you need to prove anything to anyone.
Within about five minutes, I felt it behind my eyes. That familiar little shift where you suddenly know the evening may be about to take a turn.
10–30 Minutes: Oh. We’re High.
At around 15 minutes, it was fully arriving. Even with a high tolerance, I was surprised by how strong it felt. It reminded me of trying an altnoid for the first time after taking a long break: that sudden, delighted realization that your brain is no longer operating on its usual boring office-hours schedule.
By 30 minutes, I was giggling. Music sounded better. Visuals looked a little crisper. My body felt looser, but the head high was so bright and happy that it was almost stealing the show. My notes at this point literally said: “What the fuck. I’m giggling. I’m happy. This is a little bonkers.” My notes speak truth.
30 Minutes–2 Hours: The Main Event
This is where THAH really shines. The head high is strong, euphoric, silly, and genuinely satisfying. It has a bright, sativa-leaning energy at first, but it gradually develops into something a wee bit more body-forward and hybrid-ish as time goes on.
The problem? You may not finish anything you start. Movies? Great. Music? Excellent. Gaming? Probably fun. Going for a walk? Lovely, if you are somewhere safe and familiar. Scrolling? You will become one with the algorithm. But focus? Absolutely not.
For roughly 30 to 90 minutes, I had the attention span of a gnat with a phone notification addiction. This is not the product for paperwork, serious conversations, errands, work, or dinner with anyone who might look at your face and immediately know you are light-years away.
At around the 90-minute to two-hour mark, the munchies came roaring in and turned me into my feral raccoon alter ego. I raided the kitchen. Cheesecake was involved, and it was spectacular.
Two Hours and Beyond: Still Here and Still Stoned
The main head rush begins easing after around two hours, but there is still plenty happening after that. A top-up puff of Gorilla Glue brought the behind-the-eyes feeling back within minutes, followed by another gradual build over the next 15 minutes.
The active experience lasted roughly five to six hours for me, with a lingering body buzz and slightly stoned feeling carrying into the next day. I was perfectly functional, but I definitely had that subtle “I did something last night” softness.
Coffee helped. Korean coffee-tea concoctions helped even more.
Does THAH Feel Like the Real Thing?
Yes and no. THAH does not feel exactly like traditional cannabis in the full, rounded, textured way that people usually mean when they say “the real thing.” Something is still missing from the overall experience. But the head high gets surprisingly close. The giggles are there. The euphoria is there. The music appreciation is there. That little moment where you realize you are no longer merely relaxed—you are properly, undeniably high—is very much there.
I also cannot identify the formula from effects alone, obviously. But based on my own experience with both ingredients, this did not personally feel like a straightforward H4CBH and HHBD blend.
Is it the strongest thing on the market? Yes and no. There are other carts I would choose for a longer, heavier, more persistent body high, as a matter of fact. But for experienced users who want a satisfying, head-forward “oh shit, I’m high” moment? Gohoya’s THAH Liquid is currently one of the stronger options I have tried.

Who Is Gohoya THAH Liquid For?
✅ Experienced users with a solid tolerance
✅ Movie nights, music sessions, gaming, scrolling, snacks, and no responsibilities
✅ People who basically want a euphoric, giggly, head-forward high
✅ Anyone who misses feeling properly stoned after milder altnoid products
⚠️ This is not beginner-friendly. Start with one small puff, then wait at least 15–30 minutes before deciding whether you need more. The first few minutes do not tell the full story, and this one keeps building.
Would I Buy It Again?
Y E S. Overall, Gohoya’s THAH Liquid is not replacing its HHBD × H4CBH cart in my stash. That formula—38% HHBD, 38% H4CBH, plus CBD and CBG—remains one of my favourites, especially in Mango Peach. It is more manageable, more everyday-friendly, and still has a very real place in my rotation.
THAH is just a different beast. It felt roughly twice as strong, meaning it is not a daily driver (for me). This is one that I want to keep as an almost ritualistic, “clear the schedule” cart. The “put on a playlist and accept that you may become deeply interested in cheesecake” cart. But yes, I will certainly buy this with my own money.
Final Thoughts
Gohoya’s THAH Liquid may not be perfect. Cotton Candy tastes like a college memory I would rather not revisit anytime soon. Or maybe I would, because those were some good times, lol. Gorilla Glue is more practical, but neither flavour is why I would repurchase this cart. The effects are.
But know what? I like it. I really, really like it. If you are looking for a powerful, euphoric, giggly, head-heavy experience that can still surprise someone with a high tolerance, then this is absolutely worth trying. Just make sure you have nowhere important to be, snacks within reach, and nothing major scheduled. 🍃
