Before the 2018 Farm Bill, possessing viable cannabis seeds carried a much higher risk of legal consequences than what growers face under the upcoming December 2026 federal rules, although still shite - they pulled a canada 2004 on us. got all the growers cozy in the open, seedbanks, insta, tiktok, podcasters, etc, big bro got a feel for it not in the shadows. now they clamping down again with all that knowledge, and trying to close the loopholes and make like Pinkerton/PharmaBro - but with reclassification I don't think anyones going to be doing life for beans (wouldn't put it past them though) ...the worry I noticed some folks having - that after November, acquiring/trading/possessing beans will be at an unprecedented danger level or hit a brickwall - is not the case in my mind, its just back to ye olde underground forum days i remember...thankful for this forum keepin a thumpin heart!
If anything it may cause demand marketside cause the higher risk. we are just going back in time here, which does suck - and now gift cards are harder to use online on top of that. trades being the absolute safest if done with someone you trust, little crumbs. the act of trading wont become more illegal in november, it will be possession of seeds, novelty or not unless you can prove sterilized. .whether it was obtained retroactive to november or not doesnt matter...
It's like they are hinting to keep your bean freezer in an incinerator with remote access if you got a crazy large vault. Logs from fallen tree's out in the bush make great backup stashes, though not temp controlled. Caves if ya gottem! I got to wondering, if I wanted to preserve certain genetics as an endall failsafe, I could ship to a spanish collective, beans are pretty safe there if with trusted people. just definitely don't want your identity linked to that package going overseas after november, actually i dont think its ever been "safe" to ship beans overseas from usa to EU
and if something is seized and it has a meticulously organized vast collection you didn't divide the beans out from, that's a doozy.
These random thoughts I had to vent. I guess I feel like november will be part of the descheduling brickwall we sit at for the next 20 years or more, still federally illegal, they're just chipping away at our freedom to library our genetics, to sow our own medicine.. . I started to warm up to all this progress since 2018, I really thought I'd die of old age not feeling like a criminal. Imagine if big bro had AI/NSO's Pegasus at their disposal in 2004.
It's not like seedpacks are all over the street and wedged in chainlink fences like escort cards in vegas, but if they gonna act like it and enact threats to our livelihood over what we collect... overgrow 3.0! spread all the love you can
