you're awesome. If there is a will there's a way...obviously there would be a mountain of obstacles to overcome, legal issues be one of the first things that comes to mind. But things like genetic integrity, organic production methods, etc also come into play. I'm not much of an organizer, but I'd love to have a safe, reliable place to provide others with the genetics I've been blessed with. I don't want to sound cliche, but "paying it forward" so to speak.

madmaster420- nice rant, but
Consider that seeds might be the first money?
and caregiverken: love the sentiment, but my understanding is that Gandhi is not a model of political success.
He was determined and resilient but never victorious.
Came close and did have some fun with that stupid salt tax though.

Think. Free seeds are the end of the world.

I don't want free seeds, I want "those" seeds. This is the problem.

10,000 free seeds sounds like a Monsanto marketing plan to cripple home grown.

This is the type of thought provoking dialogue I seek. I agree that seeds were one of the very first forms of currency, and also believe that globally we are heading back to the barter system. Exactly what I meant with the tulip reference. Things always have to get bad to get better. What if I told you that "those" seeds were created by another person just like you! What If I said, "Hey, brother - want the seeds that I used to create those seeds? Here. they're yours." Would that make or ruin your day? I love talking about stuff like this and seeing how other people think and process ideas, info, etc..

Thank you

I think the depth of Ghandi's victories can be measured by the lasting effects they had on others. Nothing fun about being a martyr, but without them there wouldn't be much to stir the people into action. Say what you will about Ghandi, but the mere fact that you even know his name or even the tiniest detail about him proves how profoundly his words, action, whatever, affected the rest of us. You're on to something there, I think.

I have often thought about a Johnny Appleseed movement for cannabis where we go out and spread really good genetics in suitable publicly accessible growing areas. I know this would not go down well with the gov't but I am surprised more people don't do this. I have at least one friend from the Brotherhood of Love and the love and peace lives on people. You just have to find it.
On another note, I really question the whole Chemdog legend with the 12 seeds. Maybe he was one forward looking dude but I don't think I ever paid that much attention to any bag seed I picked up along the way. I should have! I have come across the real deal many times over the past 40 years but, today, buy seeds from good stock. There must be a lot of undiscovered goodness around the planet to be found still. The WOD has gotten in the way of a free exchange of genetics of this wonderful plant. I might go have a look in China to see whats there.
I don't think I would pay too much for seeds. The going rate from different breeders and chuckers on the Farm seems to be $60 to $200 for a pack of 10 to 15. Considering the work that goes into stabilizing a line and what you might get from one pack it seems to me to be a fair exchange. The future is likely going to have controls on growing and obviously the corporation of cannabis is in full swing.

I have beans for anyone I meet in CO who I feel will pay it forward. Then again, I'm a hideous judge of character based on my past business decisions, lol.

MY karma is coming around though... :)
Ghandi was an amazing, special person who overcame base human nature to help make the world a nicer place. We should all strive to be more like that.

I agree. and
the breeders only get half that money..
and many of those breeders here on the farm have given free seeds to many people

@madmaster420 There is alot of work involved..from growing to selection to breeding to packaging to shipping..

Do you plan to do all that work for free?

Or do you want someone else to do it for you?

They do include "freebies" with every order too :)
You never know what greatness might come out of any seed.

I hear you. Like I said, I am not opposed to anyone making an HONEST living. But I was reading through some old threads last night in an effort to educate and reacquaint myself with the scene and had to wonder about how it all got so crazy (re:chem)

I was talking to a friend yesterday and we got to talking about people selling clones or seeds. I don't know about you, but I have taken literally tens of thousands of clones in my life, possibly more. It wasn't hard work, per se. But he was saying, "yeah...you can sell 'em for $20 each!" and my argument was this:

If I sold a hundred thousand clones, seeds, whatever for $2 each I'd still be making good money. And there will still be people trying to give you their money if they want something badly enough. Not saying everyone, everywhere should give away all their shit. But if everyone had access to stable genetics then the cream would surely rise to the top and people would be coming up with some amazing stuff regularly. Don't forget that we're talking about sentient beings, here... Weed plants have manipulated mankind since the first blessed toke! In the hands of the proper stewards they will continue to thrive and outwit douchebags like monsanto and all the others that think they can own or control mother nature
