Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the sale of THC-rich hemp products violated the narcotics act despite claimed therapeutic use.
Extrahierter Entscheid
Therapeutic or medical purpose did not justify the prohibited handling of hemp as a narcotic.
Extrahierte Begründung
Handling hemp as a narcotic is prohibited and punishable; unlike destruction of drugs, the conduct itself is not socially neutral. The claimed purpose could not legalize the offense.
