HerBeevor, a cannabis distributor, challenges the ban on certain cannabis-based molecules in France, highlighting the risks associated with the black market and advocating for legalization to ensure consumer safety.
The decision to classify hexahydrocannabinol (HHC) and two of its derivatives, HHC-acetate (HHCO) and hexahydroxycannabiphorol (HHCP), as narcotics was taken by the French National Agency for the Safety of Medicines and Health Products (ANSM). Although this measure may seem necessary to assess the risks associated with these substances, it raises significant concerns.
Banning the production, sale and use of these molecules could have harmful unintended consequences. In particular, it could encourage consumers to turn to the black market, a place where the quality and origin of products are not controlled. This situation encourages the consumption of potentially dangerous products and fuels criminal networks, including those linked to terrorism. Rather than ensuring adequate control and regulation, the ban could compromise the health and safety of consumers.
HerBeevor advocates that legalizing and regulating natural cannabis could provide greater protection for consumers. By regulating access to these products, authorities could ensure proper traceability, thus ensuring the quality, purity and exact composition of cannabis products.
It is worth noting that several European countries, including Austria, Belgium, Denmark, and the United Kingdom, have also banned the sale of HHC recently. However, other nations are taking a more liberal approach, regulating and controlling the production and sale of cannabis products, allowing consumers to make informed choices.
HerBeevor calls on authorities to reconsider the ban on these molecules and to consider alternatives that guarantee both safety and freedom of choice for consumers. By adopting an approach based on scientific evidence and appropriate regulations, it is possible to minimise risks while offering a legal and controlled alternative to consumers.
