Their seeds can be common strains as well as heritage, rare, and clone-only genetics.<\/p>\n<p>In their infancy, decades ago, cannabis seed banks primarily operated in the Netherlands because of the country\u2019s lax view of cannabis, and never in the US. Many produced the seeds they sold. Some still do.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Buyers paid cash, which was usually stuffed into birthday cards or folded inside backpage order forms and snail-mailed over the ocean. Things didn\u2019t always pan out, but the risks were worth it to get weed strains made popular in Amsterdam\u2019s bustling coffeeshop scene.<\/p>\n<p>Today, that\u2019s all changed. US seed sellers far outweigh old-timey European ones, are reliable, and stock an enormously influential pool of American breeders, largely eclipsing overseas efforts.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>While the days of cash in envelopes are mostly behind us\u2014supplanted by credit card and cryptocurrency transactions\u2014buying seeds still isn\u2019t straightforward.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leafly.com\/learn\/growing\/buyers-guide\/how-to-buy-marijuana-seeds\" class=\"wp-block-leafly-blocks-leafly-single-inline-block leafly-inline-related-story\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"border border-deep-green-alt border-l-0 border-r-0 my-xl p-md font-bold\">\n<p>Related<\/p>\n<p>A guide to buying cannabis seeds<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/a> <\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-is-it-legal-to-buy-weed-seeds-online\">Is it legal to buy weed seeds online?<\/h2>\n<p id=\"h-weed-seeds-can-be-considered-a-cannabis-product-just-like-flower-edibles-concentrates-and-vape-carts-and-their-legality-depends-on-which-state-you-live-in-people-living-in-some-states-with-adult-use-legalization-can-buy-seeds-within-their-own-state-but-seeds-can-t-cross-state-lines-people-living-in-states-with-medical-marijuana-legalization-may-only-be-able-to-buy-seeds-if-they-have-a-medical-card\">Weed seeds can be considered a cannabis product just like flower, edibles, concentrates, and vape carts, and their legality depends on which state you live in. People living in some states with adult-use legalization can buy seeds within their own state, but seeds can\u2019t cross state lines. People living in states with medical marijuana legalization may only be able to buy seeds if they have a medical card.<\/p>\n<p id=\"h-some-companies-and-growers-argue-that-since-seeds-contain-little-if-any-thc-that-they-can-be-considered-hemp-under-the-2018-farm-bill-and-thus-exempt-from-federal-drug-laws-however-that-theory-has-not-been-tested-in-court-and-you-might-not-be-able-to-protect-yourself-with-that-argument-the-controlled-substances-act-considers-seeds-as-cannabis-and-seeds-are-only-considered-hemp-if-they-come-from-a-hemp-plant\">Some companies and growers argue that since seeds contain little, if any, THC that they can be considered \u201chemp\u201d under the 2018 Farm Bill and thus exempt from federal drug laws. However, that theory has not been tested in court, and you might not be able to protect yourself with that argument. The Controlled Substances Act considers seeds as cannabis, and seeds are only considered \u201chemp\u201d if they come from a hemp plant.<\/p>\n<p id=\"h-cannabis-seeds-are-often-sold-for-novelty-or-souvenir-purposes-but-it-is-illegal-for-cannabis-seeds-to-cross-state-lines-or-to-bring-them-into-the-us-from-another-country-us-customs-or-state-officials-will-seize-any-cannabis-seeds-they-find-in-packages-or-on-a-person\">Cannabis seeds are often sold for \u201cnovelty\u201d or \u201csouvenir\u201d purposes, but it is illegal for cannabis seeds to cross state lines or to bring them into the US from another country. US Customs or state officials will seize any cannabis seeds they find in packages or on a person.<\/p>\n<p id=\"h-additionally-homegrow-laws-differ-by-locality-check-your-state-and-local-laws-before-purchasing-or-germinating-seeds\">Additionally, homegrow laws differ by locality. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leafly.com\/learn\/growing#where-is-it-legal-to-homegrow-cannabis\">Check your state and local laws<\/a> before purchasing or germinating seeds.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leafly.com\/learn\/growing\" class=\"wp-block-leafly-blocks-leafly-single-inline-block leafly-inline-related-story\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"border border-deep-green-alt border-l-0 border-r-0 my-xl p-md font-bold\">\n<p>Related<\/p>\n<p>Leafly\u2019s guide to growing marijuana<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/a> <\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-how-do-i-know-where-to-buy-quality-weed-seeds\">How do I know where to buy quality weed seeds?<\/h2>\n<p>Seed banks don\u2019t build trust like e-commerce sites typically do. Websites often look outdated, even a little unprofessional. Reputable sites can lack standard e-commerce elements like product descriptions or photographs, or even integrated credit card processing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, some seed bank startups have investment capital and can present a familiar e-commerce consumer experience. Ferrying shoppers through sales funnels into modernized websites, these companies usually sell their own seed lines rather than genetics from known, established breeders.<\/p>\n<p>While there\u2019s nothing wrong with breeders who sell seeds this way, there\u2019s no guarantee that the strains they sell bear any resemblance to their namesake genetics without independent community verification of their products, via growers or third-party seed banks. We think of this as similar to the CBD market, where convincing branding doesn\u2019t necessarily describe an effective product.<\/p>\n<p>So to know where to buy quality cannabis seeds, consumers must vet seed sellers the same way growers have since the dawn of digital communities: by trading information on cannabis cultivation forums, where growers both experienced and new can discuss what they\u2019re currently running in their gardens, as well as where they sourced their seeds.<\/p>\n<p>Read on for five of the most trustworthy sources to buy cannabis seeds in the US in 2022.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\">\n<p><em>Extensive selection, wide price range, average perks<\/em><\/p>\n<h3>Background<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Established:<\/strong> 2015<\/li>\n<li><strong>Location:<\/strong> Los Angeles, California<\/li>\n<li><strong>Customer service options:<\/strong> email, snail mail<\/li>\n<li><strong>Perks:<\/strong> Points program, occasional discounts and sales, seed freebies<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Shopping stats<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Seeds:<\/strong> Envy Genetics\u2019 MelonBlow (Melonade x BlowPops Bx1), 10 regular seeds<\/li>\n<li><strong>Total cost:<\/strong> $103.50 (List price: $100; discount: 10%, coupon code \u201cthanks10,\u201d reducing price to $90; shipping fee: Flat Rate USPS, $10; CC processing fee: $3.50)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Freebies:<\/strong> Pack of GrapeBlow seeds from breeder<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bought on:<\/strong> Feb 1, 2022; <strong>Shipped:<\/strong> Feb 2; <strong>Received:<\/strong> Feb 6<\/li>\n<li><strong>Payment options:<\/strong> Credit\/debit, MESH, Bitcoin, Ethereum, cash by mail, e-check<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 id=\"neptune-seed-bank\">About Neptune Seed Bank<\/h3>\n<p>Self-described as the most comprehensive stockist of cannabis genetics in the United States, Neptune Seed Bank has what you want or something very similar.<\/p>\n<p>It would take us days to gush over all the breeders on tap at Neptune. And while their prices aren\u2019t always the most competitive, the insane volume of exotic strains makes them a unique resource that shouldn\u2019t be forgotten. Especially for those times when retailers offering more aggressive discounts sell out of that cross you\u2019re after.<\/p>\n<p>Ultra-hyped Kush Mints crosses by Seed Junky Genetics go for between $250-550, sharing price points with far-reaching influencers like Jungle Boys and Gage Green Group, whose \u201cLast Chance\u201d seeds top Neptune\u2019s menu at $800 per ten pack.<\/p>\n<p>Also present are long-established figures Top Dawg Seeds, Cannarado Genetics, and Dungeons Vault Genetics (formerly of Granddaddy Purple Genetics), plus emerging players posed to carry forward the flame, including Wolfpack Selections, Lit Farms, and Wyeast Farms. Additional highlights encompass recent hitmakers like Thug Pug Genetics, known for Peanut Butter Breath, and Capulator, known for MAC1.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leafly.com\/learn\/growing\/cannabis-seeds-101\" class=\"wp-block-leafly-blocks-leafly-single-inline-block leafly-inline-related-story\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"border border-deep-green-alt border-l-0 border-r-0 my-xl p-md font-bold\">\n<p>Related<\/p>\n<p>Cannabis seeds 101: How to grow marijuana from seed<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/a> <\/p>\n<h3>Shopping experience<\/h3>\n<p>With so many options available to Neptune\u2019s shoppers, it can be difficult to narrow the choices simply by browsing. It\u2019s a good problem to have.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I ended up searching for Melonade crosses, a delectable combo of Lemon Tree and Watermelon Zkittlez that\u2019s been stuck in my head since experiencing it in rosin form in 2019. I found a surprising array of options, including versions by Crane City Cannabis, Lit Farms, Midwest Best\/Grandiflora, and some budget friendly options from Envy Genetics.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I went for Envy\u2019s MelonBlow (Melonade x BlowPops BX1), which carried a sticker price of $100 and came with a free pack of GrapeBlow seeds as provided by the breeder. A 10% discount offset the shipping fee, and after processing fees, I spent $103.50 all-in.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It should be noted that Luscious Genetics, a competing seed seller reviewed below, had the very same pack of seeds and additional, site-specific freebies for $65. Discounts are common, so it\u2019s a good idea to poke around for the best price before locking in a purchase.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Customer service experience<\/h3>\n<p>During checkout, I was prompted to upload a photo of my ID if I wanted to use a credit card. The next day, because my current address is different from the one on my ID, I was also asked to email a photo of my physical credit card.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>While Neptune says this baby gate for fraudsters is intended to \u201cprotect our customers and the business,\u201d the security measure creates an unintentional honeypot\u2014a cache of sensitive data that is, simply by virtue of its existence, vulnerable to nefarious digital actors or even disgruntled employees.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The good news is, Neptune doesn\u2019t check IDs for Bitcoin\/crypto or MESH transactions, so if you\u2019re willing to take a few extra minutes to transfer funds around and pay additional fees, you can forgo the ID.<\/p>\n<p>From a customer service perspective, the exchange to confirm my identity was painless and only added a day to the shipping turnaround. And I was impressed with Neptune\u2019s speedy customer service response times. Shoppers can expect an actual human with little, if any, delays, which can go a long way to building trust and converting one-timers to loyalists.<\/p>\n<p><em>Trusted breeders, great closeout deals<\/em><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img alt class=\"wp-image-196769 has-ll lazyload\" width=\"381\" height=\"290\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/thcinct.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/where-to-buy-weed-seeds-online-in-the-us-2.jpg,compress&amp;w=550 550w, https:\/\/thcinct.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/where-to-buy-weed-seeds-online-in-the-us-2.jpg,compress&amp;w=740 740w, https:\/\/thcinct.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/where-to-buy-weed-seeds-online-in-the-us-2.jpg,compress&amp;w=1100 1100w, https:\/\/thcinct.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/where-to-buy-weed-seeds-online-in-the-us-2.jpg,compress&amp;w=1480 1480w\"><\/figure>\n<h3>Background<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Established:<\/strong> 2018<\/li>\n<li><strong>Location:<\/strong> Eugene, Oregon<\/li>\n<li><strong>Customer service options:<\/strong> email, Instagram<\/li>\n<li><strong>Perks:<\/strong> VIP services via Patreon membership<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Shopping stats<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Seeds:<\/strong> Lucky Dog Genetics\u2019 Sweet Chem (Zkittlez x Chemdog D f4), 13 regular seeds<\/li>\n<li><strong>Total cost:<\/strong> $105.58 (List price: $160; discount: $70 discount for a $90 sticker price; shipping fee: First Class USPS, $10; CC processing fee: $5.58 via MESH)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Freebies:<\/strong> none<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bought on:<\/strong> Jan 31, 2022; <strong>Shipped:<\/strong> Feb 4; <strong>Received:<\/strong> Feb 5<\/li>\n<li><strong>Payment options:<\/strong> MESH (credit card access with fees), Bitcoin (exchange fees may apply), cash by mail<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 id=\"h-about-speakeasy-seedbank\">About Speakeasy Seedbank<\/h3>\n<p>Speakeasy seed bank feels like a refreshing reset from the trend-chaser set.

Select examples by Relic Seeds were available at a deep discount, as were numerous other packs that most growers would be happy to add to their vault.<\/p>\n<p>I pulled the trigger on Lucky Dog\u2019s Sweet Chem: $160 retail, marked down to $90.

Later, OES updated the sale language to exclude new drops, but not before I\u2019d played a semi-frustrating guessing game to find applicable merchandise.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>That said, once I did place an order, it was in my hands within days.<\/p>\n<h3>Customer service experience<\/h3>\n<p>Email response times vary and customer support can, at times, feel understaffed. I sent OES an email asking for clarification about the aforementioned 35% discount and received a form response more than 24 hours later.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>A message directed me to a terms page and recommended calling for a faster response. I called twice during stated business hours and got a machine both times.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Eventually, I bought a second-choice item that worked with the 35% discount code, but I was hesitant to forgo breeder-specific freebies until the sale\u2019s terms were updated on their site. Things would\u2019ve gone smoother had customer support made itself available by either email or phone, or if limitations on the sale were spelled out from the beginning.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Best-in-class sales, generous freebies, and unique make-an-offer pricing<\/em><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img alt class=\"wp-image-196773 has-ll lazyload\" width=\"355\" height=\"294\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/thcinct.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/where-to-buy-weed-seeds-online-in-the-us-4.jpg,compress&amp;w=550 550w, https:\/\/thcinct.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/where-to-buy-weed-seeds-online-in-the-us-4.jpg,compress&amp;w=740 740w, https:\/\/thcinct.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/where-to-buy-weed-seeds-online-in-the-us-4.jpg,compress&amp;w=1100 1100w, https:\/\/thcinct.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/where-to-buy-weed-seeds-online-in-the-us-4.jpg,compress&amp;w=1480 1480w\"><\/figure>\n<h3>Background<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Established:<\/strong> 2018<\/li>\n<li><strong>Location:<\/strong> Missouri<\/li>\n<li><strong>Customer service options:<\/strong> email, phone<\/li>\n<li><strong>Perks:<\/strong> Loyalty points, sitewide freebies, small promotional gifts, like koozies<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Shopping stats<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Seeds:<\/strong> Surfr Seeds\u2019 Surround Sound (Jet Fuel Gelato x Redneck Wedding), 15 regular seeds<\/li>\n<li><strong>Total cost:<\/strong> $90.40 (List price: $100; discount: -15% for $85 before the cart; shipping Fee: First Class USPS, $5.40; free First-Class USPS on orders over $150; CC processing fee: None via WAAVE)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Freebies:<\/strong> Surfr Seeds\u2019 (Citrus Farmer x Cherry Pie), 15 regular seeds; Cars N Coal Seed Co.\u2019s Dancer x SS Afghan 1, 4 regular seeds<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bought on:<\/strong> Jan 31, 2022; <strong>Shipped:<\/strong> Feb 1; <strong>Received:<\/strong> Feb 5<\/li>\n<li><strong>Payment options: <\/strong>WAAVE Credit Card Processing, Cash App, Venmo, Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, cash\/money order<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 id=\"h-about-luscious-genetics\">About Luscious Genetics<\/h3>\n<p>Luscious Genetics is an online retailer that curates a solid and often-discounted collection of respected breeders.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>While the selection can feel slightly limited in scope next to some of the bigger banks, breeders trend toward new school but proven members of the community, like Envy Genetics, Thug Pug Genetics, and the venerable yet under-the-radar Surfr Seeds.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, Luscious runs a proprietary breeding program under the name TrichomeBros.

It would be a huge improvement compared to the norm, that is, waiting for a sale only to find that a select item is sold out.<\/p>\n<p><em>Connoisseur quality, extensive selection, and community dedication&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img alt class=\"wp-image-196780 has-ll lazyload\" width=\"353\" height=\"106\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/thcinct.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/where-to-buy-weed-seeds-online-in-the-us-5.jpg,compress&amp;w=550 550w, https:\/\/thcinct.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/where-to-buy-weed-seeds-online-in-the-us-5.jpg,compress&amp;w=740 740w, https:\/\/thcinct.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/where-to-buy-weed-seeds-online-in-the-us-5.jpg,compress&amp;w=1100 1100w, https:\/\/thcinct.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/where-to-buy-weed-seeds-online-in-the-us-5.jpg,compress&amp;w=1480 1480w\"><\/figure>\n<h3>Background<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Established:<\/strong> 2014<\/li>\n<li><strong>Location:<\/strong> Medford, Oregon<\/li>\n<li><strong>Customer service options:<\/strong> email, phone<\/li>\n<li><strong>Perks:<\/strong> Reward points, giveaways, seed freebies<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Shopping stats<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Seeds:<\/strong> Heroes of the Farm\u2019s Jazz x Space Queen, 13 regular seeds<\/li>\n<li><strong>Total cost:<\/strong> $98.76 (List price: $88; discount: -10% sitewide via code Spin10, but <em>code did not work<\/em>; shipping fee: First Class USPS, $9.98; CC processing fee: none)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Freebies: <\/strong>none<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bought on:<\/strong> Jan 31, 2022; <strong>Received:<\/strong> Jan 7<\/li>\n<li><strong>Payment options:<\/strong> Credit\/debit card payments, cash, check, money order, bitcoin (BTC), litecoin (LTE), bitcoin cash (BCH), and dogecoin (DOGE)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 id=\"h-about-seeds-here-now\">About Seeds Here Now<\/h3>\n<p>Seeds Here Now isn\u2019t always the cheapest option, but their selection vies for the most comprehensive, and they\u2019ve proven themselves reliable for many years. While some seed banks gravitate toward hype stock and others toward heritage and heirloom, Seeds Here Now has a bit of both.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The common thread throughout SHN\u2019s menu is connoisseur quality. With a strong eye for promising genetics, the seed bank is also an asset to the community\u2014giving back through an emergency fund designed to help breeders and growers in need.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>At the time of writing, they were selling and auctioning seeds from numerous luminary breeders to raise money for Virginia-based breeder Duke Diamond, purveyor of Dominion Seed Company, who was recently released from prison and is getting back on his feet.<\/p>\n<h3>Shopping experience<\/h3>\n<p>We were impressed with both the quantity and quality of exclusive seeds unavailable elsewhere.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>One such rarity from the Duke Diamond benefit collection was a release by Heroes of the Farm that combines two terpinolene-dominant, Haze-leaning strains: Jazz and Space Queen. The opportunity to grow some heritage, previously unreleased Pacific Northwest flavors while also supporting a breeder from my home state of Virginia was an easy choice to make.<\/p>\n<p>SHN offers sitewide freebies under a tiered structure for purchases of $150 or more. My purchase was less than that so I didn\u2019t get any bonus seeds, just some stickers.<\/p>\n<p>Navigating the site was as easy as it gets, as is the payment process. Yet when it came time to checkout, a 10%-off discount code offered to customers who opt into SHN\u2019s mailing list didn\u2019t work. I suspect this glitch has to do with fine print regarding the purchase of fundraiser-specific stock, but I\u2019m more than happy to pay full price considering the proceeds go to Duke Diamond\u2019s fund. But it would\u2019ve been nice to know ahead of checkout that the coupon code couldn\u2019t be applied to the item in my cart.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>That said, this small issue\u2014especially compared to buggier sites\u2014won\u2019t deter me from shopping with SHN again if they have something I can\u2019t find elsewhere for cheaper.<\/p>\n<div id=\"author-box\" class=\"p-lg my-xxl bg-white rounded border border-light-grey elevation-low\">\n<div class=\"mb-lg\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thcinct.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/where-to-buy-weed-seeds-online-in-the-us.jpg\" alt=\"Matt Stangel's Bio Image\" class=\"lazyload inline-block mr-md rounded-full border border-light-grey\"> <\/p>\n<p>Matt Stangel<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"text-sm\">Matt Stangel is Leafly&#8217;s Oregon Product Specialist.
