Everynow and then, i try to google up growing marijuana or something
to get advice on how to grow, but..
I see ads every where that say stuff like "100% legal Seeds for sale"
and other things like that..

All the prices are in Euros, so it got me questioning..

Is it legal to buy seeds in the US?

Cause I'd really like to get a small garden goiing..

Femaleseeds.nl - Specialising in female seeds for the best price check here i got mine from here and are beautiful i paid 40 euros for ten feminised seeds a bit much but worth the grow then the cuttings wow you can have the perfect plant and clone it for ever...( oh i got white widow) also seeds in uk are not illegal and are not illegal till i think 2 inches tall
i think this is only for europe but if you know some one in eu they can get em for you=)

Yes it is most certainly illegal to buy seeds online in the U.S. You can look around the forum and find a good site that will let you pay with cash $$$ andare reputable. Type in SEED SITES in the search at the top. Good luck!!

the main thing is not to crush them, a cd case would work, ive sent hash to the us before so seeds should be no problem and if you get them sent personally make sure no names are on it cos if you get caught just say dont know anything about them!

Perhaps I underestimated you, you can't be all that bad if you're a fellow brit ;)

You're absolutely right, seeds (at the moment) are perfectly legal in the UK and are sold as 'souvenirs' but it is not legal to germinate them. Whether the status quo will continue however is the subject of some debate and I hear on the grapevine there's some noises that seed sales will become illegal, when or if this might happen - who knows.

To answer the original question, it is illegal to buy seeds in the US, it is illegal to buy seeds from overseas and import them into the US and by association, anyone selling or sending the seeds into the US are equally culpable of illegal acts as the person buying them.

There's an interesting case going on at the moment with Marc Emery, the Canadian Cannabis activist, who is fighting extradition to the US on charges of 'Conspiracy to traffic Cannabis seeds' and faces a prison sentence of 10 years to life.

There was a site that puts them in a vacuum tight plastic bag and ships them under another name (or no return address). If you were to mail them yourself I would suggest maybe putting them in clothing, a pocket of some sort, or some kind of carrying case.

There are plenty of places that are good that do send seeds to the US.

PayPal isn't allowed anywhere for seeds, that's their policy...of course a seed selling individual might take it for some seeds, but not any business.

If you have a female plant, there are several avenues to make your own "feminized" seeds. Much easier and cheaper than you would think.

Law on Seeds? , Dude, I'd never spend my money on feminized seeds, just my 2 cents worth. Also, you may want to PM NGT, he certainly could help you out.
Peace

Exactly what I'm saying, videoman. You can easily and cheaply make your own.

But I'm interested in your seeming bias against "feminized" seeds. Do you know exactly what they are?
