Seedsman, the UK’s leading supplier of cannabis seeds today launches three of the world’s most renowned indica genetics to its current seed list in time for the UK’s first Hemp and Cannabis fair in Wembley (http://www.londonhempfair.com/). The company has added Afghani No. 1, Hash Plant and Northern Lights to its existing strains. The company’s Managing Director, Tom Raikes, commented:
“The majority of the strains that we supply have been sativas. The addition of these three indica strains shows our dedication to preserving all types of cannabis for use and research in the future when laws permit. We are very pleased to have them available for The London Hemp Fair; this fair will allow the public to learn more about the cannabis plant as well as providing an excellent platform for trade. ”
Seedsman Ltd legally sells cannabis seeds in the UK over the web, via a mail order catalogue and through a network of shops. It is the only company in the UK dedicated to selling cannabis seeds in order to help the preservation of cannabis genetics. Mr Raikes continued:
“There is a distinct need to preserve all types of cannabis so that the right research can be done in the future. Eradication of any strain will limit research and the will reduce the potential of this amazing plant.”
Seedsman believes that after preservation of cannabis genetics, its key job is to provide detailed, unbiased information to cannabis users and abusers.
“Although cannabis is a relatively benign drug, like all drugs it is not without faults. The government’s idea of harm reduction is keeping cannabis illegal yet still millions are reported to use the drug. Although general use of cannabis causes most few problems, there are ways of further minimising the risk of harm. Seedsman plans to launch a new website in the New Year detailing harm reduction methods”.
The company is committed to investing a percentage of profits from cannabis seed sales into a number of harm reduction initiatives such as public surveys, information provision, digital vaporisation (combating harmful effects of smoke) and home THC testing kits (showing percentage cannabis strength).
