Cannabissamen: wie sie gemacht werden, was sie kosten, was erlaubt ist

A single cannabis seed costs 60 cents in Spanish wholesale. The same seed costs €7.67 in a branded blister pack. Both figures are publicly available online—and the difference is primarily the packaging. In this video: how cannabis seeds are actually produced, why "feminized" says nothing about quality, who is really breeding in this industry, and what is and isn't allowed when buying cannabis in Germany according to Section 4 of the German Cannabis Act (KCanG). Explained without prior knowledge. Every figure is documented, every uncertainty addressed. ℹ️ HerbSpot is a journalistic educational format about the law, science, and market surrounding medical cannabis in Germany.
