Keep Seeds Legal with North Atlantic Seed Co.
In Nov 2025, a statute was passed in the FY2026 Agriculture Appropriations Act that will federally redefine and criminalize most cannabis seeds sold in the US by excluding them from the previous definition of hemp set forth in the 2018 Farm Bill. Set to take effect on Nov 12, 2026, seeds will become recognized as “cannabis” rather than “hemp” if the mother plant contains over 0.3% THC.
The new statute, found in Sec 781, Exclusion C of the FY2026 Agriculture Appropriations Act, excludes seeds from the previous definition of hemp if the seeds were derived from a plant that contains more than 0.3% THC. This shifts the onus from the seed to the mother plant.
As a result, legal interstate sale of cannabis seeds will no longer be permitted under federal law. Banking and payment processing will become inaccessible to cannabis seed businesses and breeders, and shipping carriers like USPS will no longer ship cannabis seeds. Despite containing 0% THC, cannabis seeds will become a Schedule III drug.
NASC has been working hard behind the scenes to advocate for sensible changes to this statute before it takes effect this November 2026. By teaming up with industry leaders, attorneys, and politicians, we are hopeful we can get the job done. Now more than ever, we need to unite as a community to fund this effort, to educate our politicians and our peers, and to make our stories, our experiences, and our voices heard.
