What we ask (in 30 seconds)
AECANI calls for the full implementation of the :
CBD chemotype according to Pharmacopoeia
Align the THC threshold for industrial hemp flowers with the CBD Chemotype (≤1% THC) defined in the Ph. Eur. 3028 Cannabis Flos monograph, in accordance with internal market standards and global regulatory trend.
Competence of the Ministry of Agriculture
Industrial hemp is an agricultural crop recognized by the CAP. Its regulation corresponds to the MAPA, without requiring authorization of medical cannabis issued by the AEMPS.
Alignment with EU law
Articles 34-36 TFEU and the Kanavape Judgment (CJEU C-663/18) establish that CBD can circulate freely in the EU without being considered a narcotic drug.
Distribution channel diversity
Preserve the distribution network in specialized CBD stores, consolidated over 8 years, against the exclusive channeling through tobacconists provided for in the APL on Tobacco, guaranteeing the legitimate confidence of the sector.
The 3 Pillars of Our Proposal
Scientific Recognition: 1% THC
Hemp up to 1% THC with high CBD or psychotropic.
- Not controllable under the 1961 Single Convention
- CBD chemotype recognized by the European Pharmacopoeia (Ph. Eur. 11.5)
- WHO 2018: CBD is neither addictive nor psychoactive
Free Movement of Goods EU
Hemp products are enjoying free circulation in the European single market (Art. 34-36 TFEU).
- Kanavape Judgment (CJEU C-663/18): CBD is not a narcotic drug
- The burden of proving dangerousness rests with the State that restricts
Distribution in Specialty Stores
Sales in stores with qualified personnel
A model that prioritizes expert advice and product knowledge.
Specialized stores guarantee personalized attention, responsible access control, complete traceability and preservation of the business fabric consolidated over the years in the sector.
Why Cannabis Stores
Specialized CBD stores are not only points of sale: they are the for a responsible regulation of cannabis in Spain.
Healthy Alternative to Tobacco
CBD flowers are a alternative to tobacco. Without the 70+ carcinogens of cigarettes, no addictive nicotine. An option for smokers looking to reduce harm.
THC vs CBD: The differencesLegal Alternative to Narcotic THC
For those seeking relaxation without the "high". CBD offers the benefits of cannabis (calm, well-being) , without risk of dependence, 100% legal.
THC:CBD ratio and psychoactivityGateway to Recreational THC Regulation
CBD stores are the for a future regulation of recreational cannabis. They show that specialized trade works: control, traceability, accountability. The natural way.
Census and Control of the Sector
Regulating CBD stores allows of cannabis in Spain. A controlled registry, sanitary inspections, licenses. Better than clandestinity.
Avoiding Dangerous Synthetic Cannabinoids
Without clear regulation of CBD, there is a proliferation of ... untested, potentially dangerous substances. Regulated specialized stores guarantee natural, tested, safe products. Prohibition only pushes to the black market.
The Risks We Combat
Vision for the Future: The Responsible Cannabis Model
The Cannabis of the Future in Spain
"We don't want to send people to buy fruit at a candy store."
When regulation of recreational cannabis with THC comes (and it will come, as in Germany, the Netherlands, Canada, etc.), the for that new market.
NOT in Pharmacies
If you're not sick, why go to a pharmacy? Recreational cannabis is not medicine.
NOT in Tobacconists
Tobacco kills. Mixing healthy cannabis with toxic tobacco is contradictory and dangerous.
YES in Cannabis Stores
Expert personnel, age control, counseling, traceability. Dutch/Canadian model.
