Are seeds still legal to buy online with the new US seed law?

[420peace]

Have any of you heard about this new seed law? Seeds and delta THC might become illegal to buy online soon in the US. Is there any chance someone will stop it?

My dad uses the Delta THC and now that it's going to be illegal he's thinking about growing. I'm growing already but not well. I think my next grow will go better. I have seeds I ordered from Seedsman so I'll be good for a while.

Just wondering if anyone knows anything about it.

Thread 'What's up with the new US seed law this November 2026? (Update: Now December 2026)'

Sep 3, 2026

I've heard a lot of mixed information about the new seed law that was passed last year by the US government and supposedly goes into effect in November (update: now December 11, 2026) this year. I've heard some people say the law is going to make selling or buying cannabis seeds in the US illegal again. From what I understand, selling seeds was first legalized in 2019 due to some kind of hemp seed loophole, and that loophole is getting closed.

I've heard some breeders say they're just going to move operations overseas, others say they're switching to selling clones by mail...

I use Mandala Seeds a lot. They are based in Spain. They only use stealth shipping to the USA. I'm not too worried about being able to get quality marujuana seeds if the feds pull the plug on us in the U.S.

gonna just use other loopholes like calling it a donation instead of payment. kinda like the weed market in D.C. a few years back. you are buying a sticker or something cheap that comes with a free pack of seeds. i suggest anyone worried make your own seeds. very easy to turn one into hundreds

It is easy to make seeds for someone who is more experienced. Someone new starting out benefits from having a good seed bank to acquire seeds from. Why won't they just leave people alone, stop trying to tell us what to do.
