Cannabis seeds are federally legal in the United States because they are classified as an agricultural commodity rather than a controlled substance. According to the Agricultural Improvement Act of 2018, commonly known as the 2018 Farm Bill, which legalized hemp and its derivatives containing less than 0.3% THC, cannabis seeds are not restricted based on the potential THC content of the plant they might produce. This distinction allows cannabis seeds to be sold, shipped, and possessed across the country, provided they are not germinated in states where cultivation is prohibited. It’s important to note that while seeds themselves are federally legal, cultivation laws vary by state, so always check local regulations before planting.
