Getting seeds into the USA

Discussion in 'Cannabis Seed Banks Reviews & Discussions' started by Hosbitalized, Dec 5, 2006.

  1. Ive see some american growers on here and i read that one guys thread about it being intercepted. But does anyone auctually know the laws on getting seeds in the U.S.? I keep finding contradictions.
     
  2. Illegal if they find them. But I think the odds are in your favor.
     
  3. alot of sites ownt risk it to sell to you
     
  4. well damn, i guess ill just have to have them sent to an alias at a friends house and not pay with a credit card. Sound like a decent plan?
     
  5. that should work. not much they can do to you just for receiving seeds in the mail if you used cash to pay (no paper trail). anybody could have seeds sent to your house just to get you in trouble. the problem is drawing attention of the authorities to your grow area so having them sent to a friend's house and paying with cash should make you reasonably safe.
     
  6. Or just get a great bag, then collect the seeds if there are some and give them a plant! :D
     
  7. yeah, ive found some good mail-order sites. You fill out an order form on line, they send you an email telling you to send money in the mail, then they ship the seeds in a white enelope to whatever address you put on the order form....there are a few risks, but the alias idea is a good one.....here, check it out, its a site based in holland....
    www.weedfarmer.com
     
  8. weedfarmer.com stealth packaging and fast....got my order in under a week... midwest usa
     
  9. thanks for all the input, i just wanna be as careful as possible, getting caught growing in the U.S. is no joke. anyone know what weather is too cold for it to grow? and if the strain would have an effect on that.
     
  10. dr. greenthumb out of canada is a very good place to get seeds from. i've ordered six times and got six orders, no problem. very stealty and "very" good genetics. and by the way, this is the best time of year to get an order through. christmas is a huge mail rush, if you know what i mean....
     
  11. canada is THE WORST place to get your seeds from. the US reall has a bug up it's butt about canada and raided marc emory. i heard rumors that they also used his records to go after US customers but don't know if they were true or not, but it is true that marc emory is, or at least was, having legal issues due to the US led raid. MOST canadian shops won't even ship to the US.

    i've recieved ALL 3 of my drchronic and both of my seedboutique orders without problem though. i think the UK is too far away for the US to get as worked up about. i think doc is pretty much the most popular place to get beans here. seedboutique is just a little bit cheaper and ALWAYS gives freebies out, but you can't CC order from them at the moment.

    doc gives freebies 1st order and accepts CC. BOTH sites ship within 1 week of a CC order while seedboutique took about 10-11 days when i sent a money order. i HATE sending money orders so i like doc better for now.

    besides, nearly EVERY time i see someone not getting an order that wasn't intercepted, it was with a money order. i had 2 out of 2 MOs sent to a record company disappear before.

    from what i've read so far, all that happens when your beans get intercepted is that you recieve a letter stating that.
     
  12. Well I don't know about seedbanks from other countries but www.peakseeds.com from canada has been 100% for my buddy! Awsome stable strains not many of them though! Hey don't let the emery thing scare you from canada! Trust me I know for sure this is a good place to start! He has gotten 3 orders over 1 year never one intercepted so? Pick and choose bro, Da:smoking:Milkman P.s. If you do go there the northernberry and northernskunk is off the hook!!! P.s.s. Just my thought always use cash!
     
  13. if your package gets intercepted it will more than likely just be confiscated and 1 of 3 things would happen 1st the people that found it would send you a letter stateing that it is illegal and the seeds were confiscated 2 they would send you a letter stateing that you have to come down and sign for your package then if your dumb enough to go to the port to the claims department to think there story's real you might get lucky and get a slap on the wrist while being told bad grower your solely mistaken but this last part is if they have intercepted a few packages before evan if they let you go you just been put on someones watch list for repeated offences(or how ever it is spelled) and the third would more then likely happen if you order huge amounts of seeds where more then likely start a full-blown investagation by the dea. now at the same time i also live in the states and have gotten many packages from canada with none ever being held-up by customs
     
  14. i know nothing about getting seeds from canada first hand. i've never ordered from there. i had wanted to to order from heaven's stairway way back when, but they're out of business too.

    all i DO know about canada is that all of the canadian seedbanks that advertise in magazines at least have disclaimers saying they don't ship to the US. you'd think that the US would have higher (pardon the pun) priorities than people having fun without being addicted like... people that ARE addicted repeatedly getting behind the wheel drunk untilk they actually kill someone or something.
     
  15. There is only one Canadian seedbank that I know of that does not ship to the US. Every other one does...
     
  16. thanks again for all the input, i would like to order them now because of the holiday rush and all, but i dont plan on planting them till spring, will they go bad? thanks again for the input
     
  17. they'll be good til the spring. im thinkin about orderin some seeds from Dr. Chron real soon too.
     
  18. doc has offered me a minimum of fuss... the ONLY 2 "bad" things i could think to say about doc are gypsy is just a bit cheaper ($1-$2 usually) and they only send freebies on your 1st order. that's just nitpicking. BTW... most other sites are more expensive, PARTICULARLY the ones that sell nothing but $18 (at doc's) nirvana strains for $50-$80!!!

    to be fair, doc's freebies were 100% viable while gypsy's were 0% viable and the last i knew, you still can't use a CC at gypsy's anymore. i wouldn't say gypsy is bad, but doc is just a little bit better for easier and faster CC ordering and freebies that actually pop.

    doc has always come through quickly and has never done anything wrong the 3 times i ordered. i DO value flawless customer service more than saving a buck or two. i also like those "good news! you've got incoming!" emails when my orders ship out too.
     

  19. good to hear they give shipping notice, i ordered a new chillum from a site and all they said was "thanks for paying" never a "here it comes" i was gettin worried on that order.

    and freebies as in extra seeds of different strains? (and im guessing only like one or two seeds)
     
  20. Seeds are good for 2-4 years, after that you need to use a special method to get them to germinate...

    One method i heard is soaking them in distilled water for 24 hours and then cutting the shell with a razor at the seem (seem=the spot where the shell cracks and the root grows from, you can see it when looking at them, its a little spot) and then germinating it normally in a paper towel or dirt or w/e

    Ive never done this so i duno if it works,
    but yeah... spring will be fine lol :)
