CBD stores are thriving in France and legally sell cannabis-derived products that do not have psychotropic effects. However, it happens that certain synthetic molecules are added to harmless products. Their effect is then far from being without danger.
In large cities in France, CBD shops are often established on the street. These products promise well-being that is guaranteed legal and without health risks. A young woman, who testifies anonymously, works in a culinary events agency. She ate half of a CBD burger in January, but an hour after the first bites, she says she wasn’t “in full possession” of his means.
HHC now banned in France
The young woman informed the caterer, who approached her supplier. The latter indicated that there were “skin foundation” of HHC, a molecule now banned in France. It is a derivative of THC, the main psychoactive component of cannabis. HHC, however, has been replaced by similar molecules, which manufacturers still spray on CBD products. Adding synthetic molecules to give psychotropic effects to products can be dangerous for your health. Several experts recently interviewed by the National Medicines Safety Agency are calling for these synthetic molecules to be included on the list of narcotics.
