It's funny, but Canada is 'legal', which brought a whole bunch of new restrictions along with it. Each residence can grow 4 plants (with silly restrictions brought in by various levels of paranoid regional governments, ultimately ignorable). Seeds and clones are to be purchased from Licensed Providers, who have no stock of either. If they did have stock the prices are several orders of magnitude above the cost of seeds available in grow supply stores, which are illegal but cost-effective. I've never purchased a seed, but have been gifted several pounds pounds of them. Some have unknown lineage: 'it's my special bush blend that thrives in the wild' had a brilliant purple bud and was easy to grow. No idea what it was originally tho.
A colleague had a bunch of small ziploc bags, so i put a few seeds (cbd strain) in a few dozen bags and started leaving bags of seeds around town in various places. Inside the coin return of a pay phone. Inside the 'leave your business card here ' jar at time hardware store. Stuck up on the 'current events' cork board at the restaurants.
When the right people find them they can grow their own, and maybe they'll remember how they got into growing, and maybe they'll be in a position to share. With the right attitudes there shouldn't be a shortage of meds, or at least no shortage of opportunity for those with a desire.
And, while it's nice to know strain and details, I'm reminded that back in the 70s when we purchased from the pool hall or by the 7-11, we had no clue what we were getting, and needed to clean seeds and stems before rolling up. At least this way everyone will know how their own plants are grown, and can get a sense of accomplishment from that.
Until cannabis is truly legal we can help ensure that people can grow their own. The rules will catch up to reality eventually, or not.
It's a bold step for @momofthegoons to open this forum in a time of grayness regarding rules, but it's getting more legal-y daily, and we're all tired of waiting for politicians to catch up.
