At the moment like for many years, the only way Canadians could lawfully possess cannabis seeds was to be registered with the federal government’s special medical marijuana program. That has always been a hassle in addition to the fact that generally the Canada seed bank has been expensive. But all of that is about to change.

Starting on 17th October 2018, any resident in Canada can buy cannabis in Canada they want to grow cannabis from a Canadian seed bank. That’s right it is being legalized, but that does not mean you should limit yourself to the seed bank. There are many other ways of buying marijuana seeds in Canada, and it shouldn’t cost you $15 per seed either (like many seed banks charge). We won’t go so far as to call these seed banks scams but they are highly lucrative businesses. Apart from price, there are many reasons to avoid them.
