Will Cannabis Genetics Be Banned? The redefinition of hemp under national law, scheduled to take place Nov. 12, signals the end of Farm Bill safeguards for many hemp-derived THC products across the country: low-dose beverages as well as THCA bud and delta-8 THC edibles, vapes and other products available at gas stops and smoke shops. But the hemp ban also generates a significant complication for the legitimate cannabis industry. Seeds from cannabis cultivars that produce flower with more than 0.3% THC are no longer legal to transport out of state. Although seed buying will probably continue in authorized states, the modifications threaten to close some seed suppliers and genetics companies, observers say, while causing supply-chain problems for cannabis cultivators and retailers. "If this wording goes through, we will need pop-up stores to sell seeds in every state where it's permitted," Campanella said. "Which is why we're also offering clones and tissue culture, because that's not included in the bill." When are cannabis genetics and clones prohibited to ship between state lines? The new regulations classify seeds based on the THC potential of the mother plant. Genetic material such as seeds and clones are made illegal if the end product exceeds the threshold. For now, seeds are currently shipping under the 2018 Farm Bill's status quo. But the time is ticking for enterprises like Brothers Grimm and for cannabis growers who fear supply chain disruptions if out-of-state availability to genetics is prohibited. Most of the cannabis sector remains largely unaware of the approaching shutdown of the interstate genetics market, said Ryan Power, co-founder of Sebastopol, California-based company Atlas Seed. Without government intervention in the way of a carve-out for seeds or a general moratorium, numerous seed providers will just be shuttered come November, he added. "We are functioning legally currently, but if that changes, it will upend the legal licensed sector in every state," said Power, whose clientele includes seed suppliers as well as licensed commercial cultivators. "Consumers are going to lose choice, and it will be a significant shutdown for many people." What are cannabis seed banks doing to remain legal after the government hemp ban? Sagui Silber has already recalibrated Silberhaze Genetics, his Ohio genetics company, because of state Senate Bill 56, which tightened cannabis supervision in that state while also restricting hemp-derived THC items to licensed cannabis retailers. Previously a seed bank, Silberhaze is currently focused on the marketing, preservation and IP protection of elite plant genetics. That's because seed businesses hoping to remain compliant in this updated environment must have airtight documentation, he said. "You have to demonstrate where this material comes from, so it's very important to have documentation, even to the point where you have breeder names," Silber said. "Small businesses will have to operate with better records and a stronger chain of custody," he added. "We need that documentation ourselves, because we don't want to be working with shady sources." To prevent seizures and additional legal consequences, seed business owners must "get their ducks in a row" before the updated regulations take place, Silber said. "Review all your materials immediately, and categorize what you can," Silber said. "Take inventory, document your lineage, preserve cultivator records, and organize any cannabinoid or terpene information you currently have. If regulations shift, you'll be in a far better position to understand what may be impacted and make informed decisions." Does government marijuana rescheduling impact cannabis genetics? Silber believes U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration licensing may be necessary for businesses engaged in research. But for the time being, seed companies can't register with the DEA like state-licensed therapeutic cannabis businesses can. Such an option is not available to seed banks, nurseries or genetics companies, said Jim Ickes, an attorney and partner with Frantz Ward's cannabis law group in Cleveland. "Seed-related activity may be occurring inside broader state-licensed medical marijuana businesses, as some states permit dispensaries or registered medical operators to sell seeds, clones or personal growing materials," he said. "But that is different from the DEA creating a freestanding seed bank registration category." Some genetics operators are already changing business practices to comply with the new law. According to Ickes, they must answer questions including: Which of our varieties produce plants over 0.3% total THC?Which seeds remain as hemp after Nov. 12, 2026, and which don't?What does our inventory look like once we sort it against the viable-seed exclusion? Ickes also understands confusion from clients who believed government rescheduling of medical marijuana would resolve their story with financial institutions. However, the latest regulatory language has moved those conversations beyond the basics of classification, he said. "Financial institutions ask whether this specific revenue source is lawful, whether it connects to state-licensed operations, or whether there's cross-state risk," said Ickes. "After November, a seed bank selling high-THC genetics can't answer the initial question with the hemp classification. It has to refer to a lawful state cannabis pathway instead. Seed banks dealing in authentic industrial-hemp seed keep the cleaner story." What's the outlook of cannabis genetics? Campanella is a member of a new coalition of fellow breeders, https://nativesusa.com/ ([https://nativesusa.com/ https://nativesusa.com/]) growers and researchers that's saying seeds are more appropriately defined as farm inputs than regulated substances. To that effect, seeds should be overseen by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, allowing the DEA to focus its enforcement efforts elsewhere. "How do you regulate something based on what it might become later?" said Campanella. "Our preference is to have that wording removed, or get seeds regulated by the USDA as a hemp product." But in the interim, Campanella is restructuring Brothers Grimm to function outside the reach of shifting federal oversight. The company plans to keep its Colorado seed operation while positioning its Oklahoma tissue culture facility as a hedge against federal prohibition of cannabis seeds. As she explained: "If things develop in a way where we can't concentrate on interstate shipping, we'll have other resources to meet people's requirements without getting ourselves in trouble."
