Increasingly popular in France and around the world, e-liquids are an alternative to traditional tobacco consumption. Used in electronic cigarettes, these liquids do not involve combustion but produce vapour inhalation. While most vapers are familiar with standard e-liquids containing various flavours and nicotine, such as tobacco-flavoured e-liquid ranges, cannabis-flavoured e-liquids as well as CBD e-liquids, many wonder whether THC e-liquids exist.
THC e-liquid: what is it?
Before finding out whether THC-based e-liquid exists, let us first look at the subject. THC, or 9-Delta-Tetrahydrocannabinol, like CBD (Cannabidiol), is one of the 100 cannabinoids found in the Cannabis Sativa L. hemp plant. This molecule with psychoactive effects acts by binding to cannabinoid receptors in the brain, thus disrupting certain neurological processes. This notably causes changes in mood and perception. THC e-liquid is a Cannabis extract sold in liquid form intended to be vaped. It is most often made using a Cannabis tincture, that is, flowers infused in alcohol for several weeks. Once the molecule is dissolved in the alcohol, the flower is removed from the liquid and propylene glycol and vegetable glycerin are added to the preparation. Unlike CBD e-liquid, e-liquid containing THC is prohibited in certain countries.
Do THC e-liquids exist?
THC e-liquids exist in countries where the sale of recreational and medical Cannabis is legal, such as in the United States for example. These vape products are sold in the form of cartridges to be screwed onto a vaporiser. Given that Cannabis and its derivatives remain illegal in certain other parts of the world, it is essential to research the regulations in force in your country before purchasing and using a THC e-liquid or a CBD-based e-liquid.
Is it legal to buy and consume a Cannabis e-liquid with THC in France?
Buying and consuming a Cannabis e-liquid with THC is not legal in France, just like other products based on this molecule (dried flowers, oils, etc.). Tetrahydrocannabinol is classified in the list of controlled substances in France and therefore its possession, sale, distribution and consumption are strictly prohibited. Any breach of this law can result in a fine and a prison sentence. It is therefore not possible to find or obtain THC e-liquids in France. In any case, in order to stay within the law, it is strongly advisable to turn to CBD e-liquids to rediscover the authentic taste of Cannabis, without the harmful effects on health and the brain.
What are the effects of THC liquid?
Unlike CBD liquid, which according to studies has more therapeutic properties, THC liquid is a psychotropic substance that can cause negative effects, such as loss of control, paranoia and anxiety attacks. These effects vary from person to person depending on the individual's level of tolerance. They also differ according to the variety of Cannabis (genetics) as well as the individual's body size. An inexperienced vaper may feel very uncomfortable due to the potency of the product, given that in an e-liquid, THC can reach up to 90%, unlike flowers whose content is generally between 10% and 15%.
CBD e-liquid: a legal and non-psychotropic product
As explained above, THC e-liquid does not exist in France and its consumption is not permitted. Consuming a CBD e-liquid is an alternative, as this product is 100% legal in France and does not produce psychotropic effects. Cannabidiol has been the subject of numerous studies demonstrating its beneficial health effects (anti-stress, pain relief, anti-inflammatory, anti-nausea, anti-insomnia, etc.). This active substance derived from hemp is non-addictive and has no side effects, apart from mild drowsiness at very high doses. The CBD e-liquid is composed of a neutral base, propylene glycol, vegetable glycerin and a Cannabidiol booster. Some manufacturers may also add flavourings or terpenes. To vape a CBD-based liquid, you need to acquire a suitable electronic cigarette. Not all e-cigarettes allow you to vape Cannabidiol. The user must use a coil with a value below 1 ohm. Regarding the recommended dosage, it is always advisable to start with a low dose and increase if needed.

Which electronic cigarette should you use to vape a CBD e-liquid?
When it comes to vaping CBD e-liquid, choosing the right electronic cigarette is essential to fully enjoy its flavours and effects. Unlike nicotine, CBD does not tolerate high temperatures: if the coil gets too hot, the molecule risks being altered and losing its effectiveness. This is why it is recommended to use an MTL (mouth-to-lung) electronic cigarette, which offers a tight draw and operates at low wattage (generally between 10 and 20 watts). This type of device helps preserve the quality of the CBD while ensuring a smooth and enjoyable experience. To guide you, Le Vapoteur Discount has put together a selection of models perfectly suited to vaping CBD e-liquids, available directly in our dedicated CBD electronic cigarette catalogue.
