The New Hampshire Senate voted to table a House-approved cannabis legalization bill. This likely defeats adult-use cannabis efforts this year despite the House passing two separate legalization proposals. Republicans voted down the proposal because the governor opposes reforms. A poll last summer found that 65% of New Hampshire residents support legalizing adult-use cannabis. < Back New Hampshire Senate Blocks Adult-Use Cannabis Legalization Bill May 2, 2025 Graham Abbott Ganjapreneur Article Link Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link The New Hampshire Senate voted 12-10 on Thursday to table a House-approved cannabis legalization bill, WMUR reports. The move marks the likely defeat of adult-use cannabis legislative efforts this year in New Hampshire, despite the House having passed two separate legalization proposals this year. According to Senate Majority Leader Regina Birdsell (R), Republican lawmakers voted down the proposal because Gov. Kelly Ayotte (R) opposes cannabis legalization reforms. “The governor will veto any cannabis bill that comes to her desk.” — Birdsell, in the report The New Hampshire House passed its first cannabis legalization bill this year in February, then followed it up several weeks later by passing a second proposal. The second proposal was more restrictive than the previous proposal, leaving out cannabis retail and home grows entirely, but the tempered reforms still went too far for Republican state senators. Previously, the House and Senate have each passed their own legalization proposals but the bodies were never able to reconcile the proposals under a single bill. Meanwhile, a poll last summer found that 65% of New Hampshire residents either “strongly” or “somewhat” support legalizing adult-use cannabis in the state. < Previous Next > Recent Reviews Cake Boss - Fluent, Clearwater (Florida Medical) Cake Boss, available at Fluent dispensary in Clearwater, Florida, is a slightly indica-dominant hybrid strain (60% indica, 40% sativa) th...

Senators Advance Bill Continuing Medical Marijuana Protections And Omitting House Proposal To Block Rescheduling < Back Senators Advance Bill Continuing Medical Marijuana Protections... Jul 18, 2025 Kyle Jaeger Marijuana Moment Article Link Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link A Senate committee has approved a spending bill that would maintain protections for states with medical marijuana programs, while omitting a separate proposal included in the House version of the annual appropriations legislation that would prevent the Justice Department from rescheduling cannabis. The Senate Appropriations Committee on Thursday passed the 2026 spending legislation covering Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies (CJS), with the GOP-controlled panel agreeing to again extend a longstanding rider that prevents DOJ from interfering in the implementation of state-level medical marijuana laws. However, unlike the House version that advanced out of committee in that chamber on Tuesday, the base bill does not include provisions that would bar the Justice Department from rescheduling cannabis amid the ongoing process to enact that reform that was initiated under the Biden administration. For reasons that are uncertain, however, the medical marijuana protections section omits Nebraska from the list of covered states with cannabis programs in place. *SEC. 531.* None of the funds made available under this Act to the Department of Justice may be used, with respect to any of the States of Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming, or with respect to the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, the United States Virgin Islands, Guam, or Puerto Rico, to prevent any of them from implementing their own laws that authorize the use, distribution, possession, or cultivation of medical marijuana. In another departure from the House bill, the Senate proposal does not include additional language to make it so the Justice Department could still enforce a section of U.S. code that calls for increased penalties for distributing cannabis within 1,000 feet of an elementary school, vocational school, college, playground or public housing unit. The CJS bill would also continue to provide protections for state industrial hemp programs. *SEC. 530.* None of the funds made available by this Act may be used in contravention of section 7606 (‘‘Legitimacy of Industrial Hemp Research’’) of the Agricultural Act of 2014 (Public Law 113–79) by the Department of Justice or the Drug Enforcement Administration. Advocates remain concerned about the House language that would restrict DOJ from rescheduling cannabis, but the fact that it was not incorporated into the base bill for the Senate CJS legislation likely diminishes the chances it will ultimately be enacted when the final package is delivered to the president’s desk. GOP senators have separately tried to block the administration from rescheduling cannabis as part of a standalone bill filed in 2023, but that proposal did not receive a hearing or vote. Meanwhile, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) recently notified an agency judge that the marijuana rescheduling process remains stalled under the Trump administration. It’s been over six months since DEA Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) John Mulrooney temporarily paused hearings on a proposal to move cannabis to Schedule III. And in a joint report to the judge submitted earlier this month, DEA attorneys and rescheduling proponents said they’re still at an impasse. The Senate is poised to take an initial step toward confirming President Donald Trump pick to lead DEA next week—a development that many cannabis industry observers believe is necessary for the stalled marijuana rescheduling process to proceed. Notably, while the nominee, Terrance Cole, has said that examining the rescheduling proposal would be “one of my first priorities” if he’s confirmed for the role, he has refused to say what he wants the result to be and has in the past made comments expressing concerns about the health effects of cannabis. For the time being, any action on the proposed rule to reschedule marijuana is evidently contingent on DEA Acting Administrator Robert Murphy. More likely, according to some, is that it will not move forward until a permanent DEA administration is confirmed. Murphy’s appointment as acting administrator wasn’t widely publicized, but he’s replaced Derek Maltz—who subscribes to the “gateway drug” theory for marijuana—in the role. DEA Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) John Mulrooney initially agreed to delay the rescheduling proceedings after several pro-reform parties requested a leave to file an interlocutory appeal amid allegations that certain DEA officials conspired with anti-rescheduling witnesses who were selected for the hearing. Originally, hearings on the proposed rescheduling rule were set to commence on January 21, but those were cancelled when Mulrooney granted the appeal motion. The appeal came after the judge denied a motion that sought DEA’s removal from the rescheduling proceedings altogether, arguing that it is improperly designated as the chief “proponent” of the proposed rule given the allegations of ex parte communications with anti-rescheduling witnesses that “resulted in an irrevocable taint” to the process. Meanwhile, the Justice Department told a federal court in January that it should pause a lawsuit challenging DEA’s marijuana rescheduling process after Mulrooney canceled the hearings. Also in January, Mulrooney condemned DEA over its “unprecedented and astonishing” defiance of a key directive related to evidence it is seeking to use in the marijuana rescheduling proposal. At issue was DEA’s insistence on digitally submitting tens of thousands of public comments it received in response to the proposed rule to move cannabis to Schedule III. Mulrooney hasn’t been shy about calling out DEA over various procedural missteps throughout this rescheduling process. For example, in December he criticized the agency for making a critical “blunder” in its effort to issue subpoenas to force Food and Drug Administration (FDA) officials to testify in hearings—but he allowed the agency to fix the error and ultimately granted the request. Relatedly, a federal judge also dismissed a lawsuit seeking to compel DEA to turn over its communications with the anti-cannabis organization. Mulrooney had separately denied a cannabis research company’s request to allow it to add a young medical marijuana patient and advocate as a witness in the upcoming rescheduling hearing. Also, one of the nation’s leading marijuana industry associations asked the judge to clarify whether it will be afforded the opportunity to cross-examine DEA during the upcoming hearings on the cannabis rescheduling proposal. Further, a coalition of health professionals that advocates for cannabis reform recently asked that the DEA judge halt future marijuana rescheduling hearings until a federal court is able to address a series of allegations they’re raising about the agency’s witness selection process. Separately, the House Appropriations Committee on Tuesday approved a spending bill that contains provisions to block the Justice Department from rescheduling marijuana. The rescheduling proceedings have generated significant public interest. While moving marijuana to Schedule III wouldn’t federally legalize it, the reform would free up licensed cannabis businesses to take federal tax deductions and remove certain research barriers. *— Marijuana Moment is tracking hundreds of cannabis, psychedelics and drug policy bills in state legislatures and Congress this year. Patreon supporters pledging at least $25/month get access to our interactive maps, charts and hearing calendar so they don’t miss any developments.* *Learn more about our marijuana bill tracker and become a supporter on Patreon to get access. —* Meanwhile, two GOP senators introduced a bill in February that would continue to block marijuana businesses from taking federal tax deductions under Internal Revenue Service (IRS) code 280E—even if it’s ultimately rescheduled. Beyond the hearing delays, another complicating factor is the change in leadership at DEA under the Trump administration. U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was previously vocal about his support for legalizing cannabis, as well as psychedelics therapy. But during his Senate confirmation process in February, he said that he would defer to DEA on marijuana rescheduling in his new role. Separately, former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) was reportedly photographed reviewing a document that appears to be a draft contract to provide services—including “administration-related guidance”—to a firm affiliated with the major marijuana company Trulieve. The visible portion of the document describes a lucrative bonus if a certain “matter resolves,” with an “additional ‘Super Success Fee’” for other “exclusive policy remedies.” Last month, the former congressman reiterated his own support for rescheduling cannabis—suggesting in an interview with a Florida Republican lawmaker that the GOP could win more of the youth vote by embracing marijuana reform. Gaetz also said last month that Trump’s endorsement of a Schedule III reclassification was essentially an attempt to shore up support among young voters rather than a sincere reflection of his personal views about cannabis. A survey conducted by a GOP pollster affiliated with Trump that was released in April found that a majority of Republicans back a variety of cannabis reforms, including rescheduling. And, notably, they’re even more supportive of allowing states to legalize marijuana without federal interference compared to the average voter. Meanwhile, Trump picked former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi (R) to run DOJ, and the Senate confirmed that choice. During her confirmation hearings, Bondi declined to say how she planned to navigate key marijuana policy issues. And as state attorney general, she opposed efforts to legalize medical cannabis. Amid the stalled marijuana rescheduling process that’s carried over from the last presidential administration, congressional researchers recently reiterated that lawmakers could enact the reform themselves with “greater speed and flexibility” if they so choose, while potentially avoiding judicial challenges. Meanwhile, a newly formed coalition of professional athletes and entertainers, led by retired boxer Mike Tyson, sent a letter to Trump on Friday—thanking him for past clemency actions while emphasizing the opportunity he has to best former President Joe Biden by rescheduling marijuana, expanding pardons and freeing up banking services for licensed cannabis businesses.

Missouri's Division of Cannabis Regulation has proposed an amendment to allow curbside pickup at marijuana dispensaries, adding to existing drive-thru and delivery services. This change aims to provide a more accessible purchasing option, especially for medical patients and those with physical limitations. Public feedback on the draft is open until October 28. < Back Missouri Marijuana Dispensaries Could Offer Curbside Pickup Under New Rules Proposed By State Officials Oct 15, 2025 Marijuana Moment Marijuana Moment Article Link Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link *It’s a “more accessible purchasing option for medical patients, primary caregivers and consumers, particularly those with physical limitations.”* *By Rebecca Rivas, Missouri Independent* Missouri marijuana dispensaries may soon be able to offer curbside pickup, which would add to the drive-thru and delivery services already allowed with state approval. The Missouri Division of Cannabis Regulation published a draft of a proposed amendment to allow curbside pickup at dispensaries on Tuesday and is asking for public feedback until October 28. Mark Hendren, president of Flora Farms cannabis company, said the change would help his three dispensary locations that don’t currently offer drive-thru services. The other five Flora Farm locations already have drive-thrus. “When a customer comes in, they have to physically get out and come into the facility and go through the normal check-in process,” Hendren said. “And for some of our customers that are disabled, that’s a burden.” According to the rule draft, customers would pay for the products online so no cash is exchanged outside the facility in the pickup location. The pickup site would need the same video camera monitoring and recording the drive-through lanes currently have. The dispensaries would need to post a sign, stating: “It is against the law to operate a dangerous device, motor vehicle, aircraft, or motorboat while under the influence of marijuana,” according to the draft. The draft released Tuesday is not part of a formal rulemaking process, according to a press release by the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services, which oversees the division. It’s “instead part of DHSS’ ongoing efforts to gather all relevant input before formally filing proposed rules and proposed changes to rules,” the press release states. The proposed amendment is designed to improve cannabis licensee operations by, “offering a more accessible purchasing option for medical patients, primary caregivers and consumers, particularly those with physical limitations,” it states. The rule and online suggestion forms can be found on the DHSS Pre-Rulemaking Feedback page. *This story was first published by Missouri Independent.* The post Missouri Marijuana Dispensaries Could Offer Curbside Pickup Under New Rules Proposed By State Officials appeared first on Marijuana Moment. < Previous Next > Recent Reviews Cake Boss - Fluent, Clearwater (Florida Medical) Cake Boss, available at Fluent dispensary in Clearwater, Florida, is a slightly indica-dominant hybrid strain (60% indica, 40% sativa) th...

Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker is considering executive action to regulate intoxicating hemp products if lawmakers fail to pass regulations. This follows Texas Gov. Greg Abbott's executive order on similar products. Currently, these products are sold unregulated in Illinois. The Illinois Hemp Business Association supports regulation, including an age limit of 21, product testing, labeling, and a hemp product tax for community reinvestment. < Back Illinois Gov. Weighing Executive Order to Regulate Hemp THC Products Sep 19, 2025 Graham Abbott Ganjapreneur Article Link Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D) said Tuesday that if lawmakers won’t pass regulations for intoxicating hemp products, he may take executive action on the issue, the Chicago Tribune reports. If he follows through, Pritzker would be following in the footsteps of Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R), who last week established an age requirement for hemp THC products and set other industry regulations via executive order after lawmakers failed to accommodate his requests on the issue — requests he made after vetoing an outright ban on hemp THC products earlier this year. Currently, intoxicating hemp THC products are being sold unregulated in Illinois retailers including vape shops, gas stations, and convenience stores. “We should have a regulated environment for hemp, and I am pushing that. If the legislature and if the advocates for the hemp industry are unwilling to do it, then we will take executive action.” — Pritzker via the Tribune Meanwhile, the Illinois Hemp Business Association has called for lawmakers to “wisely regulate” hemp products but not ban them, the report said, pushing for an age limit of 21 and product testing and labeling requirements. The group is also calling for a hemp product tax that would be reinvested in communities. < Previous Next > Recent Reviews Cake Boss - Fluent, Clearwater (Florida Medical) Cake Boss, available at Fluent dispensary in Clearwater, Florida, is a slightly indica-dominant hybrid strain (60% indica, 40% sativa) th...

Scientists report that they’ve identified 33 “significant markers” in the cannabis genome that “significantly influence cannabinoid production”—a finding they say promises to drive the development of new plant varieties with specific cannabinoid profiles. The new article, published last month in the journal The Plant Genome, says the results “offer valuable guidance for *Cannabis *breeding programs, enabling the use of precise genetic markers to select and refine promising *Cannabis* varieties.” < Back Scientists Find 33 Genetic Markers In Marijuana That Can Be Targeted To Breed New ‘Enhanced’ Strains ‘Tailored For Medical And Recreational Uses’ Jun 3, 2025 Ben Adlin Marijuana Moment Article Link Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link Scientists report that they’ve identified 33 “significant markers” in the cannabis genome that “significantly influence cannabinoid production”—a finding they say promises to drive the development of new plant varieties with specific cannabinoid profiles. The new article, published last month in the journal The Plant Genome, says the results “offer valuable guidance for *Cannabis *breeding programs, enabling the use of precise genetic markers to select and refine promising *Cannabis* varieties.” “This approach promises to speed up the breeding process, reduce costs significantly compared to traditional methods, and ensure that the resulting *Cannabis* varieties are optimized for specific medical and recreational needs,” authors wrote, calling the study “a significant stride toward fully integrating *Cannabis* into modern agricultural practices and genetic research, paving the way for future innovations.” The analysis involved use of “a high-density genotyping approach” looking at thousands of molecular markers across the genome of 174 cannabis specimens in Canada, each with known levels of cannabinoids such as THCA, CBDA and CBN. “Using suitable statistical methods,” the team said, “we identified 33 molecular markers associated with 11 cannabinoid traits, most of them having a high impact on the phenotype.” Among the findings were what the paper calls a “massive” set of genes on one plant chromosome that involved about 60 megabases (Mb) and was associated specifically with THC-dominant cannabis strains. Authors—from Université Laval in Québec, Canada—said the research represents a shift away from years of cannabis prohibition that “have impeded the establishment of genetic resource collections and the development of advanced breeding practices, thus limiting both the genetic improvement and the understanding of *Cannabis *traits.” “These molecular markers will be highly valuable in breeding programs aiming to create new Cannabis variety with enhanced and specific cannabinoid profiles tailored for medical and recreational uses.” The markers uncovered in the new study “will constitute an essential tool in breeding programs,” the report says, and “promise to accelerate the selection process for promising accessions, potential crossing parents, while significantly reducing costs associated with labor-intensive phenotype-based selection methods.” The new findings come on the heels of a recent announcement by researchers in South Korea that they successfully identified a new cannabinoid—cannabielsoxa—as well as a number of other compounds “reported for the first time from the flowers of *C. sativa*.” Published in the journal Pharmaceuticals, that paper says researchers used chromatographic techniques to isolate the compounds. They also examined their molecular structures and used a metabolic testing method to assess their toxicity to certain cancer cells. “This study successfully isolated a new cannabinoid and six known cannabinoid compounds, along with a new chlorin-type compound and three additional chlorine-type compounds,” the study said, “which were reported for the first time from the flowers of *C. sativa*.” The new cannbinoid, cannabielsoxa, was not among the compounds that researchers identified as potentially toxic to neuroblastoma cells, however. Other research, published by the American Chemical Society in 2023, identified “previously undiscovered cannabis compounds” that challenged conventional wisdom of what really gives cannabis varieties their unique olfactory profiles. While research into marijuana has exploded in recent years as the result of more jurisdictions legalizing the drug for medical and adult use, it’s unclear how the Trump administration’s priorities will impact that trend. For example, under the new administration, “marijuana” is also now one of nearly two dozen “controversial or high-profile topics” that staff and researchers at the National Cancer Institute (NCI) are required to clear with higher-ups before writing about. A recently leaked agency memo put marijuana and opioids on a list along with vaccines, COVID-19, fluoride, measles, abortion, autism, diversity and gender ideology and other issues that are believed to be personal priorities of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and President Trump. NCI is part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), which itself is part of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). Prior to publishing anything on the specified topics, NCI staff are required to send the materials to an agency clearance team, the memo said.. “Depending on the nature of the information, additional review and clearance by the NCI director, deputy directors, NIH, and HHS may be required,” it advised staff. “In some cases, the material will not need further review, but the NCI Clearance Team will share it with NCI leadership, NIH, and/or HHS for their awareness.” Is Marijuana’s ‘Entourage Effect’ A Real Thing Or Is It Just Marketing Hype?

The article provides tips for identifying high-quality marijuana seeds, focusing on visual characteristics like color, shape, and sheen, as well as the seeds' age and origin. It recommends sourcing seeds from reputable seed banks, and suggests a float test to assess seed viability. The ultimate test, however, is germination. < Back How To Tell if Your Cannabis Seeds Are Good Feb 22, 2021 Ed Rosenthal Ed Rosenthal Article Link Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link [image: CBD-by-Royal-Queen-Seeds-Germinating.jpg] *Not all cannabis seeds are good to grow. **Learn how to identify quality marijuana seeds in order to start your cannabis grow in the best way possible.* * By Royal Queen Seeds* “When it comes to seeds, Royal Queen Seeds knows what they are talking about.

Weed seeds vary a lot in appearance, ranging from green to brown in color. They also display diversity in their shape and size, with some specimens being small and spherical, and others large and pointed. Cannabis seeds from different strains display different characteristics when they mature into plants. As poly-hybrids with plenty of genetic variation, most modern cannabis plants exhibit unique traits depending on their genetic lineage. Breeders select desirable tastes, smells, and effects from parent strains, which are then passed down to the progeny. The shape and size of seeds also change slightly as new hybrid varieties are born. Marijuana seeds from the same plant—even from the same flower—can feature different visual characteristics as well. Just as two human siblings possess different hair and eye colors, heights, and personalities, each cannabis seed possesses its own genetic variation, from the subtle to the obvious. The sheer amount of variation among cannabis seeds means that even good-quality seeds differ in appearance. However, there are a few telltale signs buyers can look for to set the good weed seeds apart from the bad. [image: Royal-Queen-Seeds-Seeds.jpg] *Look for a Healthy Brown Color * Healthy and viable cannabis seeds feature a brown color that varies from a light shade to a much darker one. Some seeds are more uniform in color, whereas others feature multiple shades and tiger stripe or turtle shell patterns. Any seed that falls within this color range shows promise. Changes of color within this spectrum occur primarily due to genetic factors, but environmental variables also play a role. Some seeds take on a darker tone after being packaged for several months. Humidity, lighting, and oxidation also lead to a slight shift in appearance. *Marijuana seeds start to become questionable when they present a green coloration*. Green hues are a sign that the grower harvested their seeds too early. This vegetative look means the seeds didn’t get the time they require to develop properly, placing them at a higher risk of not germinating. *Optimal Size and Shape* Healthy cannabis seeds come in all shapes and sizes. Some cultivars produce small and compact seeds with very little room between the outer shell and the immature cotyledon leaves nestled within. Despite their small size, these seeds are completely viable when they feature other indicators of good health, such as color and age. Other healthy seeds take on a large and bloated appearance. Sometimes this results from their genetic makeup, in other circumstances high levels of calcium and magnesium can bolster seed circumference. Despite differences in size, healthy cannabis seeds share a similar shape. They display a tear-drop body—round at one end and tapered at the other. Seeds that stray from this consistent shape may possess a genetic flaw. Seeds that are exceptionally flat or misshapen may undergo issues with germination and produce subpar plants. [image: CBD-by-Royal-Queen-Seeds-Germinated] CBD-by-Royal-Queen-Seeds-Germinated *Opt for a Waxy Sheen* After learning the indicators of size and shape, you might still be thinking: What do good weed seeds look like? Well, the quality of their shell also helps to signal how good future plants may perform. Healthy seeds boast a slight shimmer on their shells, as though growers have polished them with some wax. Unhealthy seeds look dull and matte in comparison. If you have the choice, opt for waxy seeds with a sheen to improve your results. *Think Age* In nature, cannabis plants grow, produce seeds, and then return to the earth each year. The seeds disperse through animal activity. The lucky ones emerge from the soil the following spring, while the others perish. Ideally, growers choose seeds less than a year old when it comes to sowing. These fresh specimens germinate fast and are less likely to run into trouble over a shorter duration of storage. We’ve all heard tales of archaeologists sprouting 1,000-year-old seeds found in Egyptian tombs. While cannabis seeds don’t possess such extreme longevity, growers often experience success cultivating seeds from two to three seasons past. However, young cannabis seeds offer the best option when it comes to viability, germination rate, and healthy plants. But, how can you tell the age of a weed seed? Simply use the sensation of touch. Place the seed between your thumb and index finger and give it a squeeze. Young and healthy seeds will feel firm, and won’t give in to the pressure. Older seeds may feel slightly squidgy, and old and dry seeds may even crumble or crack—they lack the moisture and nutrient content of younger specimens. *Where Did Your Weed Seeds Originate From?* When asking yourself the question of how to tell if a weed seed is good, you need to consider where it came from. There remains a huge discrepancy between the quality of cannabis seeds from a reputable seed bank versus those found in the bottom of a mediocre bag of weed. Professional seed banks spend a lot of time, money, and effort breeding high-quality cannabis genetics. These specimens churn out seeds with a high germination rate, and the subsequent plants deliver outstanding cannabinoid and terpene profiles alongside excellent yields. Seeds found in buds obtained from your local dealer are likely of much lower quality. In general, finding seeds in flowers reflects poor growing practices. On top of this, you likely have no idea how old these buds really are. Stick to seed banks known for top-shelf genetics. Check out their reviews, and see how much data they disclose regarding each strain to confirm you’re in good hands. [image: The beginning of an epic cannabis journey] The beginning of an epic cannabis journey *Do Your Cannabis Seeds Float or Sink?* Once you’ve analyzed the seeds at your disposal, you can run one final check to determine their quality. The float test enables growers to set great-quality seeds aside from questionable ones. Simply fill up a glass with water and drop your seeds into the fluid. Return to the experiment 1–2 hours later. The seeds that sink are healthy and ready to germinate. Now that they're wet, place them straight into the soil and begin the grow, as storing wet seeds can result in rot. Floating seeds are often deemed unhealthy, and some growers refuse to use them. *The Ultimate Test: Germinate All of Your Cannabis Seeds* Large-scale growing operations don’t have time to analyze every seed for quality. Likewise, home growers with a small number of seeds don’t risk much by simply germinating all of their seeds to see how things go. Ultimately, placing your seeds into the soil and watching them emerge into seedlings serves as the best way to identify seed quality. Place them into a segmented seed tray and watch them rise. If any seeds refuse to germinate or produce gangly or deformed seedlings, you’ll know which specimens deserve your time and dedication.

While the hype is always chasing the next big strain, newer doesn’t always mean better. Classic cannabis strains are called ‘classic’ for good reason. Paradise Seeds has been around since the mid-nineties and is one of the most decorated seed companies in Europe. Paradise’s strain library contains over 40 strains. The company was set up by cannabis breeder, Luc Krol. Amsterdam was a hub for the international cannabis community. Ed Rosenthal and Luc Krol go way back. Paradise Seeds Classic Strains: Sensi Star, Dutch Dragon, Wappa. Perhaps the most famous of Paradise’s classic strains is Sensi Star. Dutch Dragon is a fiery Sativa. By the end of the decade, Paradise had added another classic strain to the list, in the form of a plant that continues to be one of the company’s most popular varieties - Wappa. < Back Ed Rosenthal: Paradise Seeds Talks Classic Cannabis Strains Jul 2, 2021 Ed Rosenthal Ed Rosenthal Article Link Facebook X (Twitter) WhatsApp LinkedIn Pinterest Copy link While the hype is always chasing the next big strain, newer doesn’t always mean better. It’s something that many younger cannabis growers who have only ever known a ‘developed’ cannabis industry, complete with its myriad of solutions – from plant care to growing technology to a conveyor belt of new strains – are starting to realize. The thing is, classic cannabis strains are called ‘classic’ for good reason. They had what it took to stand out in the crowd when they were first released and they have stood the test of time ever since! *Paradise Seeds* has been around since the mid-nineties and is one of the most decorated seed companies in Europe with many cannabis cups and awards accumulated over the years. Paradise’s strain library contains over 40 strains and features sativa, indica, hybrid, autoflower and CBD Rich/High varieties. Popular strains include Nebula, Delahaze, Wappa, El Dorado Gold, L.A. Amnesia and Auto Kong ll (from Paradise’s hugely successful collaboration with Tommy Chong) and CBDRelax and CBDream from the company’s new CBD range. [image: Dutch Dragon - Photo by cbi] Dutch Dragon - Photo by cbi The company was set up by cannabis breeder, Luc Krol, who is still very much involved with the breeding process at Paradise. He began growing in the 1980s and honed his skills in Amsterdam in the early 1990s after moving to the Dutch capital where he was involved in the vibrant ‘squat scene’ which thrived amongst the many vacant old buildings in the city. At that time, Amsterdam was a hub for the international cannabis community, a happy stopover for Europeans and North Americans traveling to exotic parts of the world. In the city’s coffee shops travelers exchanged seeds picked up from popular landrace destinations, such as India, Thailand, Africa, and South America. *Ed Rosenthal And Luc Krol Go Way Back!* An avid seed collector, Luc soon began experimenting with growing and then breeding, taking advantage of whole floor spaces and rooftops of squatted buildings. Luc remembers these days fondly. “I bought Ed Rosenthal’s first book that he wrote together with Mel Franks, the Marijuana Growers Insider's Guide. He inspired me to continue growing cannabis and I learned a lot from his book and later other books on growing. A few years later, I met Ed at the High Times Cup - I think it was in 1997 or 1998 - and we have seen each other on many occasions since. We smoked a nice pure joint together of one of the varieties I was working on (I think it was Nebula, which went on to win many awards) and we naturally had a good time. He was really encouraging of my work, which meant a lot to me so early on in my breeding career. This made it even more special when he was the one handing me over an award at a HighLife Cannabis Cup sometime later! At *Paradise*, we think of Ed very highly for his contribution to the battle for cannabis legalization. He is inspirational on so many levels – as an advocate for the right to grow your own cannabis plants for self-sufficiency and of course in terms of his sacrifices for the cause. In the 2000s, we followed his court case very closely and did what we could, providing moral and some financial support. It’s very important that those who are now profiting from legalized cannabis, appreciate the contribution – and sacrifice – that advocates like Ed made to get to this point.” [image: Luc Krol at the High Times Cannabis Cup] Luc Krol at the High Times Cannabis Cup *Paradise Seeds Classic Strains: Sensi Star, Dutch Dragon, Wappa* While Ed was battling the Federal authorities in the USA in the 2000s, Amsterdam was still playing a central role in the world of cannabis as a safe space for weed and hash consumers to savor their passion in a tolerant surrounding. The early years of the new century also saw Paradise Seeds strains such as Belladonna, Dutch Dragon, Spoetnik #1, and Sensi Star become popular around the world. Perhaps the most famous of Paradise’s classic strains is *Sensi Star *(90% Indica). It was once described as the ‘the *strongest Indica *you will encounter’ Sensi Star still upholds a reputation for extreme potency over 20 years since it was released. It has multiple cannabis cups to its name, including a supreme double in the form of both High Times and HighLife cannabis cups in the same year (1999). Over the years it has sired 50+ direct descendants, including Bio-Diesel, Stevie Wonder, and Death Star. [image: Sensi Star / Indica] Sensi Star / Indica Its tremendous oil production makes it a favorite for hash producers (even in the heart of Morocco’s traditional hash producing regions). In the grow room it “smells like victory”, laughs Luc. Early flowering produces a distinctive metal smell that turns lemony at the end. “Her bouquet is strong and at the same time fresh - like mint, metal and oxygen combined. And she is so strong, even after all these years she packs a punch that can compete with the strongest strains out there. ” *Dutch Dragon *is a fiery Sativa (75%) and the origins of this Paradise classic go all the way back to 1994 when the company first began. It’s a plant that loves warmer climates and is renowned for its incredible growth, which has produced plants of up to 3meters (almost 10ft) in height. [image: Dutch Dragon / Photo by gbi] Dutch Dragon / Photo by gbi “This was one of the first strains we developed as a company,” explains Luc, “and still remains a Sativa favorite with connoisseurs because it is an unpretentious plant which grows long and resinous buds that have a lovely subtly citrus taste – more tangerines than lemons! It’s a wonderful effect, a really thrilling, soaring ride, like flying on top of dragon wings!” By the end of the decade, Paradise had added another classic strain to the list, in the form of a plant that continues to be one of the company’s most popular varieties - *Wappa*. Luc describes this 60/40 Indica/Sativa with Sweet Skunk running through its core as a ‘near-perfect hybrid’. [image: Wappa] Wappa “Strains like Sensi Star provide something unique and beautiful – like the frosting on top of a cake. Wappa is no such fancy plant, but this plant would be the essential ingredient that makes you the perfect cake!” Once harvested and cured, Wappa is notable for its strong but uplifting effect, bringing relaxation for body and mind alike, which also makes it a popular medical strain. “I remember walking into a party with a bag of Wappa soon after it was released, “ says Luc. “It was such a lovely scent, so sweet, so fruity, and everybody just kind of stopped what they were doing and started to sniff the air. It was as if the fragrance lifted the atmosphere of the whole room. I remember thinking at the time, ‘oh yeah, that’s the Wappa effect!’.
