I tried out of curiosity several LPs for seeds, just to see whether they did or not sell them. They all said we don’t sell our genetics, we sell weed.
There was an amnesty the day of legalization, and any weed or seeds from illegal sources we’re given a federal pardon lol.
So that’s where my seeds came from if anyone asks 
AMEN to that brother!!! Everyone was gifted a time capsule of seeds from the rebel days LOL We did the same thing, with 4 or 5 lps. Identify yourself wait for email or link and talk to some duffus who doesn’t have anything for sale anyway, despite being linked from the gov’t site. Not a fan of those bunch of fucks, but tried to do it the approved way and profiteering and self-interest got in the way. Not what or who I want to get my genetics from… a couple of seed makers who made deals here stopped selling directly to Canada too…DNA genetics being one of them. as if these fuckers run any coveted cultivars anyway. I glad though, that we can do what we do at home nowadays.
When you are on a first name basis with the people running the lps, they will cut you some slack and drop “things” off at your house to study 
Legalization was just a word they used, it wasn’t real.
It’s hilarious too because these morons are all piling up shitty weed that they can’t sell. I read some of the lps are sitting on months/years worth of bud that they can’t get rid of. Meanwhile a single plant can produce thousands of dollars worth of seeds which are in huge demand right now.
If one of these idiots aligned themselves as the ‘breeder lp’ they could get some name recognition and clout as an established entity in the seed business, not to mention actually making some fucking money. I guarantee they could make WAY more selling seeds legally than they could selling mediocre bud in this market.
The real problem is working with the CTLS, the restrictions on getting a breeding license are astronomical. You definitely need a phd in plant genetics. For example, I could never become a breeder unless I go back to university for 8 years. By CTLS I am talking about the “cannabis tracking and licensing system”, through health canada. That’s where you have to log all your product and do the paperwork on what went into growing it…how it was grown…how much was grown. ETC every detail is entered into this system. As for all the buds people grow being crap in the market place, it’s just not true. Lots of them are crap, though. It’s not like once I start microcultivation, I’m going to start pissing into each bubble hash batch I make. LOL
I’m not talking about people like us, I’m talking about the monolithic, multimillion dollar corporations who have already have these licenses or can readily obtain them. This legal cannabis system was never designed to earn regular people any money.
The fact that these companies have piles of money, resources, and the feds basically holding their hands and giving them carte blanche yet are still unable to be profitable is laughable at best. If one of them used a hint of common sense they could easily stand out from the pack and establish themselves as an industry leader.
Just imagine the discussions in these board rooms:
“We’re spending money growing endless pounds of bud that nobody wants. It just keep piling up in our storage facilities waiting to become unsellable. Should we look into selling seeds as a revenue stream? Of course not! Then people wouldn’t buy our weed!! We should probably double down on doing the exact same thing that hasn’t worked at all for the last 3 years!!”
The complete lack of market insight and forethought is staggering.
heh heh there’s winds of change a-blowin’. They haven’t figured out Posers will be weeded out and it’s happening. The secret is, you have to actually know something about weed. It’s not just another product where you can plop it out then spend mega bucks on marketing convincing everyone they need it. What I have seen with my own eyes, there are non-posers who have been growing weed all along who are now becoming LP. We’re not talking multinationals with oodles of loot, just people like you or I. You just have to go to the economic development group, here I think it’s called community futures. They will help you fulfill your dreams of growing lots of weed, but there’s a catch: You have to know what you are doing! No posers allowed!
hah hah I’ll just recap that. The government is helping regular people set up their legal production for weed. It’s going to crush the posers, just give it time.
Let’s hope! I doubt it will be any time soon, but I think we should see changes for the better slowly but surely.
someone call staples, it’s time to get the green ink.
As some of us have been talking about . . . be careful who you vote for in the future . . .
"Conservatives continue to call for an end to “loophole” of personal and designated medical cannabis production regulations.
Reflecting concerns from their ridings, several Conservative MP’s have been calling on the federal government to close what they say are “loopholes” in cannabis legislation that is being abused by organized crime."
Probably different out east but community futures in Alberta doesn’t help with anything. They’re very targeted on what they’ll support and help with.
I agree, they should invest more in people’s dreams of growing weed. It’s probably an ideology… ahem… jebus…
Yep same old rhetoric backed by law enforcement ongoing effort to maintain oppression ( see:inflated budget) due to Marijuana use. err should we say Law enforcement efforts to rid the streets of “ILLEGAL PLANTS” to ensure a quality and safe product for consumers…bleccchh almost couldn’t type that. Thats the reason I stopped voting Conservative after 30 years of voting. “Canadians need to change their thinking about adult marijuana use” Stephen Harper. SAME OLD SHIT.
Sorry but legalization is 100% a liberal welfare program for its own membership.
Look at the boards of directors of the major corporations involved. Those that helped steer the regulations. It’s all liberal party staffers, and former bureaucrats who worked closely with the liberal party of Canada.
100% there’s a cannabis industry bailout coming. “Due to covid” of course.
The industry is as corrupt as the party that created it for a reason.
You got evidence of that? heh heh
It’s a matter of public record. You can easily take names off the board of directors list yourself add " 's around the name and liberal behind and see the links.
It was discussed ad nauseum with regard to canopy growth - and extends into all the top players.
Was it canopy growth or tweed that was caught with an illegal shipment of weed coming in for them? Not only were they given no punishment of significance, but police documents later showed the department was very concerned with the effect charges could have on the company’s stock price lol
It was tweed, which is now canopy growth. I got some of the details wrong, it was actually worse than I said lol. Good old Canada!
It was a given that the Liberals would be corrupt and line their pockets with the legalization of cannabis.Still the Liberals are the only ones that pushed for full legalization.As long as we get to grow in peace without being hassled thats all that matters.
Ya I voted for JT literally just for weed. I’ve never voted before and likely never will again lol. 6/10, would not recommend
