On October 17, 2018, Canada will become the largest country in the world to legalize cannabis for adult recreational consumption. Anticipation has been high, generating millions in investments and worries that dispensaries may run out of marijuana. At the same time, Canadian Seed Companies are looking at ways to get their seeds and strains into as many hands (and dispensaries) as possible.
And there are a few things that I can tell you about buying cannabis seeds:
- You won't worry about the dispensary running out if you grow your own, and
- Crop King Seeds, True North Seed Bank, and BC Bud Depot are three of the best places to get cannabis seeds in Canada.
The Criteria for Buying Cannabis Seeds in Canada
![Hemp Seeds Denver]()
Before placing an order for cannabis seeds, there are a few factors to consider:
- Quality and Selection of Strains
- Shipping (costs, packaging, anonymity)
- Guarantees and Customer Service
- Payment Options
- Refund policy and Additional Services
It is also important to make sure you know your local laws about cannabis before buying seeds. This is especially true if you live in a country other than Canada.
Crop King Seeds
![]()
Crop King Seeds first germinated in 2005 and later began to bloom in 2012, as U.S. states and Canadian provinces began shifting laws regulating marijuana. Today their cannabis seeds can be found online or in over one hundred dispensaries across Canada.
Crop King Seeds' website is easy to navigate and offers a "Baskin Robins" assortment of 31 cannabis strains to choose from. And just in case you have any questions, you can live chat with "the King" before diving into their seed selection.
The seeds are organized into five different categories:
- Regular Seeds
- Feminized Seeds
- Auto-Flowering Feminized Seeds
- Dwarf Auto-Flowering Feminized Seeds
- CBD Medical Seeds
There is even the option to 'mix and match' Feminized or Auto-Flowering Feminized seeds instead of buying one strain in bulk.
