Cannabis seeds are the small, brown seeds that can be found inside a flowering marijuana plant. They are the earliest stage of a cannabis plant’s life cycle and contain genetic material that is responsible for producing the cannabinoid THC that is smoked or vaped to experience the psychoactive effects of cannabis. These seeds can be purchased in bulk online and do not require a medical card to purchase.

The marijuana seeds are extremely nutritious and have a light, nutty flavor. They are an excellent source of protein, fatty acids, fiber and vitamins. They also contain a significant amount of omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids, which help lower cholesterol levels, reduce blood pressure and decrease the risk of heart disease.
