Buying Cannabis and Marijuana Seeds in Canada (2018)

The Cannabis Act of Canada, also known as Bill C-45, is a law that will come into effect on October 17, 2018, which will legally allow the recreational use of marijuana and cannabis all over the country and will undo the prohibition of cannabis in the country since 1923 when it was put in the list of Narcotics Drug Act’s Confidential Restricted List.

The Canadian Senate passed the bill on June 19, 2018, completely making it legal for the sale and use of recreational marijuana and cannabis all over the country. Since November last year, the bill had been trying to make its way through the country’s parliament. After the bill is passed, municipalities across the country are on a war footing to regulate its sale, use, possession, and growth of marijuana and cannabis. Because of this, the bill will be effected on October 17 to provide all territories and provinces with the time to lay down regulations in their jurisdictions.

According to the guidelines, the bill will permit the legal use of marijuana and cannabis by people equal to, or over 18 years of age. People can be permitted to buy cannabis from retailers regulated by the territorial governments, provincial governments or federal governments.

The implementation of the Bill C-45 will enable people in Canada to purchase cannabis seeds and grow up to four plants for personal consumption and possess up to 30 grams of marijuana.

As expected there will be a proliferation of many online and local sources who will be selling the seeds. However, it is critical that people go for a reliable source.

How do you know the quality of marijuana seeds?

To grow healthy cannabis plant, you’ll need to ensure that the seeds are of high quality. However, this may not be so clear for the starting grower. Here are some tips that will enable you to determine the quality of seeds:

Judge by their looks: High-quality cannabis seeds should feel stronger and look “healthier” than inferior quality seeds. Healthy quality of seeds comes in grey or brown color with shades of black and may include a little tiger print. Unhealthy seeds can lack color and appearance.

How do they feel? Healthy cannabis seeds are harder and can be determined by pressing them between fingers. The healthy ones will withstand the pressure and will remain intact.

Do they sink or float? The best way to determine the quality of seeds is by putting them in a container of water for one or two hours and see if they sink or float. The seeds that have sunk are high quality and healthy ones, whereas the seeds that float are unhealthy.

Germinate them: Now that you have placed the seeds in water, it makes sense to germinate them anyway. You can collect the seeds that have sunk in the water, dry and store them for the future. However, you can know the quality of the dubious seeds by germinating them, if they germinate at all.

Procure the seeds from reliable sources: Procuring cannabis seeds from a reliable source will result in better quality of seeds. Purchasing seeds from a reliable and prestigious seed bank will provide you with high-quality seeds.

After your marijuana plants mature into seed-bearing plants, you can either let nature to take its own course or pollinate selected branches by yourself. The first one is easy, where you just sit back and allow nature to do its work.

Here you will have to select a female and male plant and you are required to prepare each one for pollination.
