Hello,

I'm currently building an ecommerce site that will sell a specific extract.

However, this specific extract has been banned in a few states already in the past few years, and is currently in the stages of possibly being banned federally.

No one really knows what will happen, however, it's a pretty big deal here in the states.

In regards to SEO, and either choosing BH or WH, which would be my best option? If, I go BH and the ban doesn't go through, will this hurt my site in the long-run?

What are my pros and cons? I have always went white hat with my other businesses but those are more so domestic services such as landscaping, pool cleanings and so forth.
 
BH has more risk than WH, this is why it is best to do quality BH.

I do understand BH is more risk
However, let's say I go quality BH, what exactly are the risks I do take? site being banned from Google or anything along those lines?
 
If the stuff you gonna sell is likely to get banned federaly in the future then go BH stealth mode and get the most out of it whilst it lasts!

Use of black hat seo techniques can get your site banned from search engines, but use of black hat seo can give quick results on getting your site to better position. So use white hat seo techniques to acieve higher ranking however these techniques does take time to fetch higher rankig.

risk is a penalty which can be more or less severe depending how bad the BH is in google's eyes; usually the risk is just to lose rankings; being banned from google is an extreme case, which should not happen if you use legal methods.

quality or not, greyhat, anything thats blackhat will run the risk of getting your site banned,
you need decide if this something for you or not
 
Black hat and white hat only exist as concepts on paper. In actual practice, it's all varying shades of gray.
 
No difference if you ask me about risk. It's always better to rank than nothing. Go for BH
 
Once you go black, there's no going back!
