What is frustrating is that in order to buy South American genetics I have to order from Europe despite the fact that I'm in North America. I wish American seed banks carried some of the good landraces from Mexico, Central, and South America. Tons of meth and cocaine are flowing across the border daily. We can't get a few cannabis seeds?
The strain hype in America of crosses crossed with other crosses with crazy names amazes me. When I go to an American seed bank most of what I see is stuff like "Battlestar Galactica Purple Punch Frozen Yogurt" or "Double Poison Sherbert Brownie Haze Banana Split".
I laugh when I see some of the names. And then some are $15 a seed. Crazy. I get what I want from a UK seed bank and typically get my package in under a week. I'd like to buy local but the offerings are not what I want. There are some excellent genetics available. I just want something else.
