There are people on this forum that send seeds for free (or very cheap) and have maybe helped many sick persons
This guy had cancer and thought 20$ is reasonable because 20 year old special breeds from the 80-90s and several drug busts make them special, or that capitalizing is healthy because old freezer seeds still sprout
Sorry but it still sounds like smoke and mirrors
Try to play this on a person with cancer… quote: muh nevli`s cost just a fragment of your treatment
Peace (I hope)
@WhatsTruth Seeds aren’t illegal. Planting them may be, depending on where you live. You seem very sure of yourself but offer no other story, just continual claims that all of Todd’s story’s are lies. Talking about somebody trying real hard to sell himself; that seems like you.
What’s the deal?
I’ve seen Todd in the old high times articles, must have been 25-30 years since last time I picked up that rag
“This is the first time WhatsTruth has posted — let’s welcome them to our community“
Ha ha
Wow
Hi and bye. Took you longer to create the account than it did to get banned. What a genius
I think seeds were originally claimed illegal only because they “contained” trace amounts of THC, an illegal substance, and not because of their ability grow a banned substance. In the US, the potential to commit a crime is not itself a crime.
I call BS on that anyway. They probably weren’t cleaned and THC was on the shells they tested. That aside, seeds, even with THC contaminated hulls, are probably less than 0.3% THC. As of the farm bill, that all changed. Substances such as CBD oil that contain up to 0.3% THC are regularly sold, legally. I personally can’t see how cannabis seeds could still be claimed as illegal.
Various other things might be. Importing any foreign agriculturally propagative material is subject to customs laws. Selling seeds without some kind of permit may also be.
I’m not a legal expert, so don’t take this as advice. If you have any reason to believe differently, then I would be interested.
Even if selling seeds is “federally illegal” as WhatsTruth claims, so fucking what? Anyone who breaks unjust cannabis laws is a hero in my book.
. Is todd saying, that mel picked up some other pine town dagga in holland and thats what todd has?
Amsterdam is small. even smaller in the 80’s. Mel would know who gave him the other Durban. and todd should know.
any one who breeds will talk to you forever. you cant get a breeder to shut up, once they get going… So its a huge red flag when people get dodgey.
Todd may have some killler shit. but its unsettling that he cant answer basic questions. at best, it shows u gotta learn what the fuck it is yur selling before you try to sling it… at worst, its fraud… if its a legit old SA dagga, it will sell just on its own. no need to name-drop to sell packs…
shit, i would buy some legit durban… but not for $200 though, thats ridiculous.
Guess that brings up the question: assuming they’re two different things, which is more valuable? A legit Durban Poison or a Durban Poison that Mel Frank vouched for.
schwaggy ugly looking durban from pine town south africa.
I’d tend to agree with you, but we’re definitely the odd ones out in the market. Mel Frank himself says that Durban doesn’t exist anymore. I don’t think it ever did. Europeans hit South Africa what, 600 years ago?
u gotta understand. these people (Sam, Ed, RCC and Mel) were great men and did a lot of tremendous things; every single one of us owes them an immeasureable debt of gratitude, however they all (Sam, Mel, RCC and Ed) told a shit-ton of lies and half-truths and cheated and fucked people over, over the 4 decades… so despite thier enormous contributions, you gotta take what they say with a grain of salt.
depends if the euros brought hemp or not…
and “durban” would mean, weed from SA from the late 70’s- mid80’s, for the export market…
SA and the neighbouring countries has (or had) like half a dozen distinct varieties… they are too close together so i think maybe Asian blood got into some of thier lines at some point.
thats the “durban” you’d look for… not a 15th century landrace. u can easily find African seeds
In that case, what’s your opinion on Cannabiogens Durban? And my point wasn’t that you’d want the version from 500 years ago, but that the Durban we think of was never a pure African. Pretty much along same lines as you mentioned
pictures ive seen of cannabiogen looks like a sativa… i havent grown it.i am more familiar with mexican sativas.
if yur looking a bank, go to the source. hit up Seeds of Africa. or find an African pot dealer on instagram and ask him for seeds.
i said a while ago, last year maybe?, that we would drop some of the northern lights.
Given the nature of this thread and out of respect for the community, i felt i should reiterate our desire to carry Nevil’s northern lights… my worst fear is that we’re percieved as another Todd…
I came from the closet and from forums, so the opinion of y’all (the inner community) means more to me than what the mainstream thinks. we’re tryn to be as respectful as possible. we dont believe people should horde genes; we love NL and want to share it with everyone.
I wouldve dropped these NLs when Nevil was alive, i just didnt think there was a need for it and that what i had wasnt rare. and to be fair we did move NL stock and flower on and off, for a couple of decades before he passed, but just not in the mainstream…
it was only after he passed away that realized we what he had is uncommon… at that point we felt obligated as stewards of these sacred genes, to share it with the rest of y’all.
we’re only releasing the ones that you cant get. and we’re putting them out as regular seeds so that anyone can breed with them if they want to, and carry on the tradition.
the NL1 and NL2 are IBLs, the 5x2 is an F1 Hybrid. i used my SeedBank NL5 and and Dr. Danks NL2 male to make the 5x2 as an F1. both parents are true and IBL so its a real f1 hybrid…
and later in this fall, we will drop our fourth and final reissue, the G13xNL2, as an bx cross (g13nl2 x (g13nl2 x nl2)). i had to do it that way in order to make regular seeds, as i only have the female g13nl2…
Our goal is introduce these lost classics to the next generation of growers so that they can continue to preserve and spread Nevil’s legacy.
The NLs are a passion project of mine and its very humbling to be able to bring them out of the shadows so everyone can enjoy them.
I was talking with Dr. Dank the other day and he was thinking we could eventually offer these as female seeds… but thats a way’s away… and even then we would offer them as regular seeds also. like, as breeders packs or something…
I’m still searching for some of the other NL numbers… if i find them, we will make them available as well.
Any critique, advice or opinions on my handling of Seed Bank gear are welcome. if there is a more respectful way to stock Nevils old SeedBank gear, we are all ears… tag me so i’ll see it, or DM me.
First time I picked up a cannabis culture around 2002 or so I canceled my high times subscription
When you drop them NL Rob this guy right here is interested
Count me in too! Finding and preserving NL’s is only of my main goals in life. Think I prefer the nl5 but I’m not positive, I can’t remember which one’s I smoked which times. Been trying to slowly acquire the pure/as-close-to nevil’s stuff as I can get but it’s obviously difficult.
It’s a little hot now but anyone in the us interested in the NL1bx come fall I will send out cuts again
Do you have any male cuts of that NL1bx?
