i collected these last year and just found them. Is it ok to plant and leave outside in pots?

    I thought cannabis needed heat and artificial lights to grow.

     Cannabis  ?   Is that what silk road seeds are  ?

    @Lyn It does in the UK. 
    @granma   It sure is.  It is also illegal even if the cops do little about it.

    Maybe it’s this?

    @granma. Not illegal if you only grow it for yourself the trouble comes if you sell it to someone else.

    Afraid you’re mistaken @lyn ... as it’s now Class B again, it’s illegal to grow even one plant for purely personal use without a licence to grow it.  

    What the police may or may not do about it is likely to vary on a case by case basis ... but the legal position remains the same

    @Dovefromabove. Stand corrected then, bit out of touch now.

    😆 

    Yes it was downgraded to Class C and then Gordon Brown put it back up to B. Had to be aware of such things when when I worked.

    Looks like still a grey area from both of those links, seems Devon and Cornwall don’t care as a couple of other boroughs. Keep it illegally, push it underground, doesn’t make sense to me. Lots of people have benefited from the effects.

    I tend to agree @Lyn ... but of course in my work I had to go by the letter of the law.
