What was banned and why?
In June 2024, HHC (hexahydrocannabinol) and THCP were added to the New Psychoactive Substances Act (NpSG). This means selling, buying, and possessing these substances is banned in Germany. The reason: HHC and THCP were classified as psychoactive substances with significant abuse potential.
If you’re still searching for "buy HHC" or "HHC Vape kaufen", HHZ and Superior Blend Vapes are the best legal alternatives with similar effects.
