subject: Cannabis Seeds A Controversial Matter [print this page] It is widely known that many countries ban the sale and distribution of cannabis or marijuana, as it is widely known. But fewer people know that the sale of cannabis seeds is permitted in many of these countries. You may wonder what people actually use them for, since their use as a recreational drug is banned and harshly punished with a lot of jail time. Actually, people use them for the oddest reasons and no one can stop the sale of these seeds, because the entire business is legal. Plantation for the production of recreational drugs is not the only use marijuana seeds have nowadays.
One reason for the acquisition of cannabis seeds is to use them as bird food. If youre in a country where the purchasing of cannabis seeds is legal, then theres no reason not to feed them to your birds. Hemp is a common component of seed mixes for birds, and many report that they will eat the cannabis seeds first. Its no surprise when you consider how full of nutrients the marijuana seed is: each one is packed with magnesium and protein, making it a nutritious and easy to digest treat. In 1937 when the bird seed companies testified before congress regarding the legalities of marijuana seeds, they are reported to have stated that canaries wont sing without it. Another reason is to start your own little museum of seeds. Not only do they show you to be the expert collector you are, but they make great conversation starters. There is also such thing as cannabis art. There are great pieces of painted cannabis seeds. So take your seeds, paint them and make them into a mosaic or a mural. The most important use of marijuana seeds is medical. It was proven that THC, the active substance in the seeds, is used in a number of conditions. For example, glaucoma, a condition of increased pressure within the eyeball causing gradual loss of sight, can be treated with medical marijuana to decrease this intraocular pressure. Medical cannabis is also used for analgesia, also known as pain relief. It is also reported to be beneficial for treating certain neurological illnesses such as epilepsy and bipolar disorder. Case reports have found that cannabis can relieve tics in people with obsessive compulsive disorder and Tourette syndrome. Another potential use for medical cannabis is movement disorders. Cannabis is frequently reported to reduce the muscle spasms associated with multiple sclerosis.
To sum all of this up, there can be many uses of cannabis seeds other than as starters for marijuana plants that can be further dealt as recreational drugs. The punishment for such actions is prison. It depends on whether the growing is with the intent sell or for personal use, but in the state of Minnesota for example, the maximum penalty for personal use is 30 years. In any other states in the US people who tried this got up to 25 years in prison for drug possession and distribution. So if you want to buy marijuana seeds, be careful what you use them for.
