im told that possesion and buying of seeds in the states is legal,however germinating and growing areillegal. is this true? i was wondering if i could bring some seeds back with me from adam

I always thought seeds were illegal in the states unless they were sterile and served in bird food. Shrug. Don't quote me on that tho.

you heard VERY wrong!!!!!
DO NOT try to bring seeds back (at least not openly) in NO way shape or form are cannabis seeds legal to have/import/export/etc.

There have actually been people arrested for possession of HEMP seeds!!

Only sterile seeds are legal and can be found in some Asian spice mixes. They won't get you a buzz or grow but they taste good.

I agree. There are plenty of reliable seed companys in Canada. Have them mailed to a friend that doesn't grow. If anything the postal service will mail you a letter, telling you your package can't be mailed to you. AzLaker

thanx for the info guys now i wont get arested

The only thing I've run into is, WE DO NOT SHIP SEEDS TO THE USA! None of this make much sense. When the agriculture dept. sends me to the INTERNET to purchase seeds, and I find we don't send seeds to the USA.
So just because you have a register card doesn't mean you are legal. It just means you have to break the law to grow medically prescribed marijuana. They take my money every year, I receive no help what so ever from my state. I appreciate the state letting me grow but what about the most important part"genetics". If I buy any seeds I could get into a load of trouble. I have a small beautiful family and do not want to jeopardize it in any way!
The government needs top open it's eyes, look what is really going on! The war on drugs are killing innocent people! They have no way of getting regular prescriptions of medical marijuana. People suffer needlessly!!! This is a tragedy and must be stopped, any body prescribed medical marijuana should have access to what ever needed to grow their life saving medicine. Not one person should be punished for buying seeds that they have a license for. Issued by the state in witch I live in. Where is the help? What is the $150.00 a year for. Why can I not purchase seeds without all the trouble. This is an injustice, take money from someone that is on a fixed income and then offer no help in ;locating the meds. so desperately needed.

How about joining some of the Cali medical MJ boards, maybe somebody will help you out? or could you not drive to California or Canada? they have superior medical strains to Europe according to some people.

it makes plenty of sense.. The USA is trying to charge people in other countries for sending seeds to the usa.. they even want to extradite them and charge them in US terms... one example is marc emery.

why would anyone else want to risk that.. the us has done a good job in scaring seed vendors off.

i do feel for you 68camaro... my best advice would be to order from a company that is located in the states.. or get over to california and go from there... i do believe there are some companies still sending to the states as well ... check it out and i hope your sitauation improves

I still don't understand? The state I live in gives me a registry card. This card lets me grow a certain amount of marijuana. State issued why does the state not help me? They charge me a $150.00 a year, for the use of the registry card. That is great, but how do you grow without seeds or clones and get a good medicine plant. I am so for medical marijuana it's not funny. This amazing little plant has changed my life!! This is no joke I just wish I could show the world! I have even tried brain surgery, to no avail! This cannabis plant has reduced my narcotic intake by 90 percent, I was not against cannabis before I started using as a medicine, but I was skeptical. There is no reason in the world to think marijuana can be more harmful to you, compared to some of the drugs made by man. Like the ones they want me to use again. Back to states and registry card holders trying to obtain medical grade seeds, by the way I have found a place to get seeds but always looking for other safe sites. This is a problem, I have no one helping. I live in a state that has no dispensaries. It is a felony to buy medical grade seeds from across boarders. I have been trying to grow from some so called great seeds, with some success, but for the most part growing has been a very up and down experience, finding all males after the veg. state! Man did that one suck!! I did have some luck and other people thought the plant end product was good. The medical value just wasn't there. Hydro, dirt, doesn't matter same results! So this morning I went to tent to my garden and found that three seeds have sprouted in one day!! They were put in plugs and then in the incubator. These are the first seeds I've ever purchased, White widow, Blueberry Skunk and White Diesel all frenzied seeds. I'll be darned if they didn't send me 10 free seeds to boot. My initial quantity ordered was only 15 and got 10 free cool I'll remember this. Now the battle starts, I've noticed that I am very strain Dependant! What I mean is the plant needs to be very medically friendly (strong)! Some don't help they increase the pain, mostly the lower grade medicine. I think I've said enough. It just makes no sense, give a hurting disabled person a registry card and give them the go ahead to grow marijuana, but it's a felony to buy seeds???

Yeah, man our country is full of ironies. The republicans say they want states rights, but when the states vote, they ignore the peoples' votes.

I actually got back and more into smoking after two minor surgeries and shingles. My pain was nowhere near what you are suffering, but weed helped me relax more than any pill man has ever made. I've cut my alcohol intake from 1 or 2 a nite to 1 or 2 a week, I sleep much better and feel pretty damn good. I realize I wasn't suffering close to what you are, but my heart goes out to ya. Best of luck with those strains man.

68Camaro, I'm curious...which strains have you discovered do work in treating your ailment, and which strains do not work?

Ya know I have just started my quest to find the perfect plant genetics, in witch to help my condition. The actual break downs are to come. the first beans I've ever purchased just arrived and poped the first day pof germinating. The varieties are White diesel, Blueberry Skunk and White Widow. This is all a guess but from what I understand they should be very potent. It seeme the stronger the med the better the relief. The marijuana effects me different than close friends of mine. It is very strange they get totally high and I get a little relief, you can totally see the difference. So to answer your question, no I have not a clue witch one works better than the other.

Well I just checked the new sprouts, they are all dead! All of the sprouts are dead. First time I've ever paid for beans, how depressing!
