As regular readers of Dr Hemp’s cannabis seed blog will know that we here at Pot Seeds sell cannabis seeds that are strictly only for cultivation in sensible countries where to do so is not illegal, otherwise, they are simply for collection purposes.

There are many countries where you can legally germinate cannabis seeds without repercussions from the authorities, including Spain, Holland, Czech Republic, Switzerland, Belgium, even parts of the USA and much of Latin America.

Germination of cannabis seeds is sadly illegal in the UK, it is also not permitted in Germany, however, this did not stop a group calling itself Few Autonomous Flower Children from spreading several kilograms of cannabis seeds throughout the German university city of Göttingen.

The cannabis seeds were planted earlier in the year and jolly green giants are now sprouting throughout the city, even in front of the main police station.

A Spokesman for the group said “We can’t set eyes on this useful and beautiful plant, because it is absolutely forbidden in Germany to grow it.

Planting the cannabis seeds was a protest against Germany’s “restrictive drug policies” said a spokesman for the group.

“It is incomprehensible why cannabis, unlike alcohol, cannot be legally purchased. The ban on the cultivation of cannabis seeds is absurdly strict and our actions are a sign against the demonization of cannabis.

“The criminalisation of cannabis brings consumers in contact with criminal gangs, where harder drugs also circulate.”

The Autonomous Flower Children have found support from the local chapter of the German Green Party’s youth wing. A spokesman said: “The legalisation of cannabis is a matter of interest for us. A similar cannabis seed planting protest took place last year in Göttingen, but on a much smaller scale, now the cannabis seeds are spread out across the whole city”

A photo competition has been launched on the Autonomous Flower Children’s website, but no winner will be chosen, “the majestic beauty of this magnificent plant is enough,” said their spokesman.

Apparently these cannabis seeds have been planted throughout the city and humourless city authorities who are not so impressed are even using the group’s website to try to locate where the cannabis seeds have been planted.

While we find the cannabis seed protest amusing, we here at Pot Seeds cannot endorse the actions of the Autonomous Flower Children and would like to use this opportunity to point out that planting cannabis seeds on a large scale in any country where germination of cannabis seeds is not legal should absolutely never be done. In any case, a few kilograms of cannabis seeds would be very expensive, although you can buy regular hemp seeds for eating, which are much cheaper. They are very healthy, but should not be planted, unless you have a license from the Home Office.

In the mean time we recommend you write to your MP and join the NORML UK cannabis campaign if you do not agree with the UK’s daft cannabis laws and think it should be legal to germinate cannabis seeds in the UK.
