Article L5132-8 of the French Public Health Code

The production, manufacture, transport, import, export, possession, offer, transfer, acquisition and use of plants, substances or preparations classified as poisonous are subject to conditions defined by decrees of the Conseil d’Etat.

These decrees may prohibit any operation relating to these plants and substances; they may in particular, after consulting the National Academies of Medicine and Pharmacy, prohibit the prescription and incorporation into preparations of certain of these plants and substances or specialities containing them.

The conditions for prescribing and dispensing such preparations are laid down after consultation with the national councils of the Order of Physicians and the Order of Pharmacists.
