Who Buys Cannabis Seeds?

You may or may not be aware of a little known herb called marijuana. This little plant and its psychotropic properties have given as much joy as it has pain for smokers and campaigners around the globe for the last 60 years. While marijuana indeed grows naturally in various places around the world, it is possible to grow it indoors and even outdoors at certain times of year in the UK. Over the internet it is possible to buy from a massive range of cannabis seeds from various websites but with the laws about the legality of owning and growing cannabis hazy for some, who buys cannabis seeds online?



Pain Sufferers



Marijuana has proven pain relieving properties which has resulted in it being researched in many medical laboratories in various countries. If a sufferer were prescribed cannabis it would be possible for them to purchase cannabis seeds for personal cultivations and consumption depending on the laws of where they were located. Some countries will even prescribe ready grown cannabis directly to patients.



Stoners



Stoners are people who like to abuse cannabis to the extent that it seems to have taken over their being. Stoners would happily buy marijuana seeds and try to grow them illegally in their property. While stoners may not be hurting anyone it is still illegal in most countries to buy cannabis seeds with the intention of growing them. Online cannabis shops will not sell cannabis seeds to someone they think intends to grown them



Researchers



People researching cannabis seeds may take advantage of the opportunities purchasing online provides: convenience, choice, percentage discounts etc. instead of trying to source them directly from more natural resources. Online cannabis seed stores often source directly from growers anyway so will be practically FairTrade.



Biologists



Biologists like cannabis seeds because their genetic makeup is so interesting, especially as strains are often cross bred over extended periods of time allowing more interesting genetic factors to develop. Biologists are one of the few groups of people allowed to grow cannabis legally in the UK so it would make sense that they be allowed to buy from the best catalogues available. Cross breeds pose an interesting subject, for instance the super silver haze strain is a great genetic example of the strong genetic traits from parent breeds.



Collectors



Many people like to collect cannabis seeds. Like stamp collecting, cannabis seed collecting has its anoraks and hoarders who like nothing more than finding, logging and displaying their collection. Another group of collectors are those that hope growing cannabis will be made legal soon, so they are collecting seeds so that they can be ready when the law is changed.
