http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Controlled_Drugs_and_Substances_Act#Schedule_II http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Controlled_Drugs_and_Substances... It appears that, while non-viable seeds are explicitly legal, there does not appear to be any prohibition against viable seeds, unless they are considered a marijuana "preparation". I suspect there's some case law floating around where a court has decided whether or not cannabis seeds are considered a marijuana preparation. Edit: Erowid is somewhat helpful in this regard, although the linked article is broken: http://www.erowid.org/plants/cannabis/cannabis_law.shtml http://www.erowid.org/plants/cannabis/cannabis_law.shtml

I am not a lawyer, but I would be very surprised if Canadian courts didn't interpret that text in accordance with the general principle that all words have meaning -- i.e., explicitly stating that non-viable seeds are legal implies that the intention was that viable seeds are not legal.

I was under the impression that the law prohibited viable seeds but due to a loophole (you can't be certain a seed is viable or not) they couldn't stop people with any seed. I might be remembering this all wrong.
