The Czech Senate has passed new limits on the sale of weaker psychomodulatory substances, including kratom and hexahydrocannabinol (HHC). If signed into law by the president, the substances will only be available to buy by adults and in specific stores from December.

On Wednesday 9th of October, the Czech Senate approved an amendment to the Act on Addictive Substances, responding to concerns that certain psychomodulatory substances are freely available and being consumed by minors.
