Are seeds legal in the UK but illegal to germinate?

Fellow weedlings,

I heard a few years back that cannabis seeds were legal in the UK if you don't germinate them. Does anyone know for sure if that's still true or not? if so does this mean custom's won't confiscate letter's from Holland with seeds in them or are they illegal to import even in small amounts i.e. 10 or 20. Can anyone elaborate?

Cheers
 
yes, seeds are legal to possess in the uk so long as you don't germinate them..
as far as importation, that's a bit tricky, as even though the seeds aren't illegal, your country might have laws which makes the importation of live cannabis seeds illegal.. that's the way it works in canada, i'm not sure about the uk though tbh..
but why order from holland if you live in the uk and have to deal with customs? there's tons and tons of places to order right in the uk that i'd use before going else where..

Thanks for the info...im looking at Holland because they seem to have lots reputable suppliers in the business for decades & although there will be some excellent one's in the UK im not sure who they are really - I mean I know of some suppliers like Gorilla/Herbies/Rhino but I don't know how good they are in terms of genetics & germination etc.

What kind of problems could you be faced with if customs confiscates a letter addressed to you with 10 or 20seeds (which are not illegal to possess)?


Peace

most of the time, buying from a seed bank, imvho, you're going to get fresher seeds than if you bought them straight from a breeder, simply for the fact that seed banks tend to sell wayyyy more beans than a breeder does because most breeders won't sell to a lot of countries, and most banks will ship world wide. all of those you listed are pretty reputable from what i know.. check out the attitude, herbies, single seed centre, cannazon, and a few others..
as far as customs, idk how that works in the uk, but here in the states, we get a letter telling us we've been bad boys, and that's about it.. it's really not a big deal..

Well will look into some seed banks as you suggest. Ive been told that buying from a breeder is sometimes better because at least you know what your getting...seed banks have so much stuff to choose from. Of course like anything there will be pro's & con's.

So you're in Canada...is the 'trailer park boys' comedy still running? Brilliant :lol:

Peace
 
Nope, not in Canada m8.. I have no clue about trailer park boys, never seen..
