THCP hash: why “45 % cannabinoids” says nothing about legality

Total content figures conceal which substances are contained. What retailers actually check a batch against.

THCP hash: why “45 % cannabinoids” says nothing about legality

Hash offers are almost always advertised with a total cannabinoid content. This figure is worthless for the classification — and that is precisely where the risk in purchasing lies.

What applies in Germany

THCP is covered by Anlage 1 of the Neue-psychoaktive-Stoffe-Gesetz, specifically via structural class 2.3: the residue-R scheme under number 2.3.2 includes carbon chains up to C10 as a residue on ring A, and the heptyl chain of THCP falls within it. In force since 27 June 2024.

The NpSG operates differently from the Betäubungsmittelgesetz: it prohibits placing on the market, that is, trade, supply and import. Mere possession does not carry a criminal penalty. For a wholesaler it is precisely the prohibited part that is the business purpose — so the distinction is of no further help to the trade.

Because the structural class is worded generically, it covers not only THCP itself but the entire family of comparably constructed derivatives. Switching to the next abbreviation regularly leads back to the same provision.

What the percentage figure conceals

“45 % cannabinoids” can mean: 45 % CBD. It can also mean: 44 % CBD and one per cent of something that is not marketable. The figure does not distinguish, the certificate of analysis does. Therefore ask for the itemised breakdown of the batch, not the total — and make sure that the COA relates to exactly the batch that is delivered.

If no batch-specific COA is obtainable, the question cannot be answered. That in itself is already the answer for the purchasing decision.

What we stock instead

With hash, the processing carries the quality: sieving, pressing and storage determine what reaches the customer.

Our range consists entirely of CBD products from EU-certified cultivation: CBD hash as well as the rest of the B2B range. A certificate of analysis belongs to every batch, and the goods are marketable in the markets we supply them to.

Why this article no longer says what it once said

Until September 2026 an advertising text for HHC and THCP wholesale stood at this address. It dated from a time when both substances were traded, and it was inadvertently left in place after the range was cleaned up. We have replaced it with this classification instead of deleting the page — the question behind it is legitimate, the old answer was no longer so.

Information as at: 30 September 2026. Legal situations change; this page is a classification and is no substitute for legal advice.
