Prohibition of certain cannabis molecules in France

Prohibition of THCP, HHCPO, H4CBD and other cannabinoids

On May 22, 2024, France's Agence nationale de sécurité du médicament et des produits de santé (ANSM) amended its decision to classify cannabinoids formed from a benzo[c]chromene-type chemical nucleus. This modification excludes certain substances from this classification, under certain conditions.

New cannabinoids banned

In response to the risks and possible dependence associated with the use of certain cannabinoids, the ANSM has decided to classify new cannabinoids on the list of narcotics. This ban, effective from June 3, 2024, concerns :

Hemisynthetic cannabinoids

- H4-CBD
- H2-CBD

Synthetic cannabinoids with benzo[c]chromene core

- HHCPO (hexahydrocannabiphorol acetate)
- THCP (tetrahydrocannabiphorol)
- THCA (tetrahydrocannabinolic acid)

Synthetic cannabinoids


- 5F-Cumyl-Pegaclone (5F-SGT-151)
- Cumyl-CH-Megaclone (SGT-270)
- 7APAICA
- 5F-7APAICA
- Cumyl-P7AICA
- 5F-Cumyl-P7AICA
- BZO-Hexoxizid (MDA-19)
- BZO-Poxizid (5C-MDA-19)

Substances excluded from classification

The ANSM's recent decision excludes from classification certain substances present in very low concentrations. The cannabinoids concerned are:

- CBNA (cannabinolic acid) A precursor of CBN, already excluded from classification.
- THCVA (tetrahydrocannabivaric acid) and THCV (tetrahydrocannabivarin): Provided their content does not exceed 0.3%.
- THCA (tetrahydrocannabinolic acid): As long as their THC content complies with the 0.3% threshold laid down in the Decree of December 30, 2021.
