The decision came down on the morning of Friday May 24: all products containing H4CBD, H2CBD, HHCPO, THCP, THCA and other derivatives will be banned and placed on the list of narcotics.
This new ban follows on from the one issued almost a year ago to the day, announcing a ban on HHC and its direct derivatives HHCO and HHCP.

It's been over a month and a half since the news broke. At the beginning of March, the ASNM was considering a future ban on certain CBD derivatives.
This reflection seems to have been completed on Friday May 24. As of June 3, the ANSM intends to ban :
In short, it seems that just about all synthetic and semi-synthetic derivatives (THCP, THCB, THCJD, HHCPO...) are covered by this new ban.
The only molecules left after this ban are CBD and CBN, due to their lack of habit-forming and addictive effects.
As TF1 info points out, the decision was prompted by " reports of consumption leading to serious effects ", which alerted the authorities to the health hazards of these molecules.
The article takes the example of a group of young people who "had to go to the emergency room after consuming THC and H4-CBD candies at a party" last December.
Here, the mention of THC as a base product should be taken with a grain of salt, since, as stipulated in the European legislation which influenced French regulations, THC concentration should not exceed 0.3%.
Nevertheless, as the ANSM reveals, this would not be an isolated case, since "Since September 1, 2023, 90 cases have been reported to the centers for evaluation and information on pharmacodependence-addictovigilance (CEIP-A), 40% of which have led to an emergency room admission or hospitalization" which would represent 36 people hospitalized for intoxications involving CBD derivatives.
According to the article in Le Parisien, from June 3 "A consumer will risk up to a year's imprisonment and a 3,750-euro fine, with the option of paying a lump sum of just 200 euros."

A month ago, Germany decriminalized cannabis, Belgium's Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of the Economy announced that it would follow suit, and just a week ago Biden announced the reclassification of cannabis as a less dangerous substance (now classed with certain drugs such as codeine), while France announced a ban on CBD derivatives.
However, the "hole in the market" referred to by François Braun, then Minister of Health, in connection with the HHC ban, is still there and is once again vacant.
The question that remains to be answered is whether, like a hydra with one head cut off, we'll see new products appear as we saw after the ban on HHC, or whether consumers will settle for CBD?
The answer is, of course, yes. After prohibition, a whole host of new products appeared, foremost among them 10-OH-HHC, a by-product of HHC. But there are also many cannabinoid mixes , such as THM, and new molecules derived from mushrooms, such as muscimole.

What is Lyme disease? Lyme disease, or Lyme borreliosis, is caused by the bacterium "Borrelia Burgdorferi". It is usually transmitted to humans and animals by hard tick bites during contact with nature (farm work or forest walks), mainly between March and October.
Progress never stops, and in the world of CBD, innovation never stops. After HHC, HHCPO, THCPO, here comes CBNO. As you may have guessed, CBN-O, aka cannabinol acetate-O, is the acetylated version of CBN. And, as always, on a molecular level, this version is the most [...]
