Published on: 28/04/2020

When talking about seeds, it is important to distinguish between purchase and cultivation, and to understand the related rules. 

Marijuana seeds commerce is completely legal, also because per se the seeds do not contain a large amount of THC, the substance that, for its psychotropic effects, is considered illegal at certain levels of concentrations in marijuana.  

Cultivation is different story. According to the Regulations 2013/1307/EU and 2014/639/EU, marijuana cultivation for industrial purposes is legal if the THC concentration level of the plants stands below 0,2%; also, the utilized specie must be listed in the EU regulations provided catalogue. Nothing is indicated by the EU, with regards about domestic cultivation; therefore, this matter depends from each country’s internal legislation or jurisprudence.
