Anyone knows how it is with HHC distillate?
Whats the regulation for that in Europe?
Still illegal of course, alot of country have blanket bans on the derivatives and also blanket bans on psychoactive substances
Read up above, @Roguelab said it is
The Hhc might be legal
But the precursor (thc) is not so chicken or egg situation

The question here: if the ̶E̶M̶C̶D̶D̶A̶ UN convention says about the D8 illegality but the national law only names D9 which one has the higher weight? It looks as if the ̶E̶M̶C̶D̶D̶A̶ UN convention name it, it must have an immediate effect on all the EU countries even if on some of those countries it is not stated. Am I right?
EMCDDA doesnât make any laws.

The European Union does not have its own classification for âdrugsâ and refers to the United Nations Conventions. EU competence in the field of drug use is not wide. For instance, the penal or administrative treatment of drugs use falls within the responsibility not of the European Union but of Member States.

You have to look into the UN convention if the given country does not have an explicit list of controlled substances. Delta 8 is listed in the UN convention, as a delta 9THC isomer.

So if one countryâs laws point only to D9 as the illicit substance that differs hemp from cannbies and D8 is, therefore, a hemp extract (exactly like in the USA) (there are many countries in Europe that is the same legal situation, but we are talking about a NATIONAL LEVEL) so then, it DOESNT MATTER because on the UN convention they DO state about THC isomeres as been illegal, and here ends all discussion. Am I right? we are never going to see D8 in Europe dispensaries right? Itâs that simpleâŠ
The little d8 present in natural hemp extracts is sort of tolerated. It is in general 3-4 times lower than d9. But a product based on d8 would not be toerated.
HHC is the european D8

So it looks like some countries implemented blanket terms and by deafult ban anything that is psychoactive regardles if itâs on any banned substances list:
But in terms of THC isomers anyway they are banned on the UN level and to make things more complicated even substances much less psychoactive than âoldâ drugs may fall under EUâs directive 2001/83/EC becoming medicinal products:
(a) Any substance or combination of substances
presented as having properties for treating or
preventing disease in human beings; or
(b) Any substance or combination of substances which
may be used in or administered to human beings
either with a view to restoring, correcting or modifying
physiological functions by exerting a pharmacological,
immunological or metabolic action, or to making a
medical diagnosis.
Introducing pharmaceuticals to a market without proper paperwork results in fairly high âpharma gradeâ financial penalties.
And I think itâs just a matter of time untill policy makers will learn that CBD is a direct precursor. I think in the US one state already banned usage of bleaching clays not undesrtanding that the clay is not the issue. But at some point they will catch up.

This is why cbd oils are sold as aroma oils in Austria and as example cbd vapes are aromatherapy in Germany. I hope the nonsense ends soon but for know - at least to our knowledge - HHC works in most EU countries as itâs not on the new psychoactive substance list nor SMG/BTMG (âdrug lawâ). As long as itâs not marketed for consumption to get specific effects I donât think itâs hard to set up a legal business. At least for CZ I have all the paperwork ready, waiting for the AT legal opinionâŠ

If youâre referring to Oregon, no, they did not ban âbleaching claysâ although many folks interpreted their edict thusly. see New OLCC rules for artificially derived cannabinoids and CRC for further discussion.
