Will Cannabis Genetics Be Restricted? A redefinition of hemp under federal law, scheduled to take effect Nov. 12, spells the end of Farm Bill protections for numerous hemp-derived THC products across the country: low-dose beverages as well as THCA bud and delta-8 THC gummies, [https://nativesusa.com/ https://nativesusa.com/]) vapes and additional products available at gas stations and smoke shops. But the hemp ban also generates a major complication for the legitimate cannabis industry. Seeds from cannabis varieties that produce flower with greater than 0.3% THC are no longer legal to ship out of state. Although seed buying will probably continue in authorized states, the modifications threaten to shutter some seed suppliers and genetics companies, observers note, while creating supply-chain issues for cannabis growers and retailers. "If this language goes forward, we will need pop-up shops to sell seeds in each state where it's legal," Campanella said. "Which is why we're also providing clones and tissue culture, because that's not covered in the bill." When are cannabis seeds and clones illegal to ship across state lines? The updated regulations classify seeds depending on the THC potential of the parent plant. Genetic substances such as seeds and clones are rendered illegal if the end product crosses the threshold. For the moment, seeds are currently shipping under the 2018 Farm Bill's status quo. But the time is ticking for businesses like Brothers Grimm and for cannabis cultivators who worry about supply chain disruptions if out-of-state access to genetics is banned. Most of the cannabis industry remains mostly unaware of the impending shutdown of the interstate genetics market, said Ryan Power, cofounder of Sebastopol, California-based company Atlas Seed. Without government intervention in the way of a carve-out for seeds or an overall moratorium, numerous seed suppliers will just be shuttered by November, he added. "We are functioning legally now, but if that shifts, it will disrupt the legitimate licensed industry in every state," said Power, whose clientele includes seed suppliers as well as licensed business cultivators. "Consumers are going to forfeit choice, and it will be a major shutdown for most people." What are cannabis seed suppliers doing to remain legal after the federal hemp ban? Sagui Silber has already recalibrated Silberhaze Genetics, his Ohio genetics company, because of state Senate Bill 56, which strengthened cannabis supervision in that state while also limiting hemp-derived THC products to licensed cannabis retailers. Previously a seed bank, Silberhaze is now focused on the marketing, preservation and IP protection of elite plant genetics. That's because seed businesses hoping to stay compliant in this updated environment must have airtight documentation, he said. "You have to prove where this stuff comes from, so it's extremely important to have records, even to the point where you have cultivator names," Silber said. "Smaller businesses will have to work with better records and a stronger chain of possession," he added. "We want that documentation too, because we don't want to be dealing with questionable 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. "Audit all your materials immediately, and classify what you can," Silber said. "Take stock, document your heritage, preserve cultivator records, and organize any cannabinoid or terpene information you already have. If regulations change, you'll be in a much better position to understand what may be affected and make educated decisions." Does government marijuana rescheduling affect cannabis genetics? Silber believes U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration licensing may be necessary for companies engaged in research. But for now, seed houses can't register with the DEA like state-licensed therapeutic cannabis operators can. Such an option is unavailable to seed banks, nurseries or genetics businesses, said Jim Ickes, a lawyer and partner with Frantz Ward's cannabis practice group in Cleveland. "Genetics activity may be occurring inside broader state-licensed medical marijuana businesses, as some states allow dispensaries or registered therapeutic operators to sell seeds, clones or personal growing materials," he said. "But that is distinct from the DEA creating a freestanding seed bank registration category." Some genetics companies are currently changing operational practices to comply with the updated law. According to Ickes, they must address questions including: Which of our lines produce plants over 0.3% total THC?Which seeds survive as hemp after Nov. 12, 2026, and which don't?What does our inventory look like once we organize it against the viable-seed exclusion? Ickes also recognizes confusion from customers who believed government rescheduling of medical marijuana would clarify their story with financial institutions. However, the latest regulatory wording has moved those conversations past the basics of classification, he said. "Financial institutions ask whether this specific revenue source is lawful, whether it ties to state-licensed operations, or whether there's interstate-commerce risk," said Ickes. "After November, a seed supplier selling high-THC genetics can't address the first question with the hemp definition. It has to point to a lawful state cannabis channel instead. Seed banks dealing in authentic industrial-hemp seed keep the simpler story." What's the future of cannabis genetics? Campanella is a member of a emerging coalition of other breeders, farmers and researchers that's arguing seeds are more appropriately defined as agricultural inputs than regulated substances. To that end, 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 could become one day?" said Campanella. "Our choice is to have that language 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 business plans to keep its Colorado seed operation while placing its Oklahoma tissue cultivation facility as a hedge against federal prohibition of cannabis seeds. As she noted: "If things develop in a way where we can't concentrate on interstate shipping, we'll have other resources to meet people's needs without putting ourselves in trouble."
