Letters to the Editor: Parent says Ireland should ban synthetic cannabinoid HHC 

A reader says HHC, hexahydrocannabinol, is being sold openly in vape shops across Ireland despite not being a harmless product

France, Austria, Denmark, Germany, and Switzerland have moved to impose strict controls on synthetic cannabinoids including HHC. iStock

I would like to raise awareness of hexahydrocannabinol (HHC) with members of the Government, Dáil Éireann, An Taoiseach, An Tánaiste, media representatives, and your readers.

I write not just as a citizen, but as a devastated parent — a parent whose family has been shattered by the insidious grip of HHC.
