Canadian LP seeds

[Corogold]

Thats awesome bro i cant wait to see that stuff in nz

[OttoGelato]

I’m not sure how the Health Canada decided what would be allowed for seed strains. Was it to limit THC to something mid-grade levels, or for higher CBD...nobody knows.

I read somewhere that all of the legal LP genetics had to be one from a small pool that was approved in like 2016, when the ACMPR was enacted. So there’s really limited variety/quality.

Try True North Seed Bank. I’ve had good luck with them and they have huge selection. Not cheap. But they have good service, quick delivery.

Government? Naive???!?!!! NEVER!!!!

[JohnEmad]

I believe it was a combination as companies like Canopy Growth(Tweed) along with others were consulted about the best path to make it legal. As far as the gov being naive I suppose that is partly true.

[DingusKhan]

Okay, so it sounds similar to what most of what we Southlanders have to endure while legislation lanquishes. I still have to opt for discreet packaging and hope customs doesn't check your package.

This sounds nuts, but it might be worth going and buying something from the official store in your country. One of the ways your government is likely to evaluate the success of a change is how many people they can count using the newly available freedom, even though the only method they have of counting is through the legal system. If no one uses it, it might get changed, restricted, or even eliminated.

I could be wrong, but I would imagine going back to no legalization would be worse than legalization executed poorly.

I don’t think it was Corporations influencing governments, but more that the government was too naive (about cannabis strains) and over-protective to help keep the hardcore anti-pot people appeased.

At one point, and maybe it still exists, they had part of the law for recreational growers a plant height limit...1 meter.

We can order seeds online just like anybody else. But it’s deemed illicit market. I have yet to see any reports of a small grower, small home grower, get their pee-pee spanked for growing “illicit” seeds. But, I’m sure that if they ever were to investigate a grower for breaking any law, the “illicit” seed and plant charges would just be add-on charges.

I can’t say about clones at stores since I’ve never looked for or inquired about them.

I love that about Colorado too. Can just walk into the dispensary and get what you want. The shops not only sell seeds, they sell clones too. And the one I frequent most (at least for now) has it on display so you can see it and smell it. I guess it's not like that some places? Las Vegas is one of them that doesn't display anything. I have a friend who went recently and she said it's all in books, names and pictures. Maybe we're spoiled here? Or is it just because it's Vegas? Are the ones in Oregon like that too, do they display the weed in jars so you guys can see and smell it?

Obviously the Government was swayed by the big corporate to limit small growers and corner the market, yet they have to know that less then lawful methods of obtaining seeds is huge. Not really sure what they were or are thinking but it appears to me it is quite easy to order almost any type of seed strain you desire from multiple sources.
Besides when it 1st went legal you could purchase seeds from almost any head shop or grow shop so how could they ever think people don't have seeds of every type?
I can even get clones (unofficially of course) from a few growers in the area. Maybe some rational thinking people will step up to change these really dumb laws. Sure hope so.

[DingusKhan]

Can you still buy from the online stores in Europe? How about clones at the stores?

Same situation in Ontario.. Here its the Ontario Cannabis Store. And brick and mortar stores are few and far between. most small towns and smaller cities dont have them yet. They are chosen by a lottery system, and the applicants have to fork out about 250 grand if they qualify. Now if you wanna take a fifteen minute drive to one of the indian reserves around here, anything you want right down to edibles..100$oz pre-rolls,1/4lb's ,gummies,shatter..etc. and get some damn cheap gas while your there. lol

Here in Alberta, the ONLY legal online herb seller is the AGLC, the Alberta Gaming Liquor and Cannabis commission. That’s right. The government, in an open commercial market, is blocking any legal online cannabis sales in our province and monopolizing it. They control distribution to the brick-n-mortar stores and set minimum price points (also do this with liquor) that retailers can sell it for. Just to recap...they control distribution, set minimum price, tax the shit out of it, and block free enterprise from competing online.

I’ve heard rumors that several stores were caught buying black market weed and reselling it as the authorized government supply because it’s the only way they can make enough profit to keep their doors open.

Losing seeds also feels pretty costly. But we all soak duds. And you will kill a few if you stick with it. But GROWING is sooooo worth it.

[DingusKhan]

Damn, that's pretty schizophrenic.

[DingusKhan]

Definitely! Gotta keep it real here.
