US growers can buy from two kinds of seed bank: shops that ship from a domestic warehouse, and European shops that post orders across the Atlantic. Domestic shipping is faster. The European shops usually carry more original breeder packs. This list covers both. Read the legal section at the end before you order, because federal rules on seeds change in December.

1. Cannapot

Cannapot has sold cannabis seeds from Austria since 2004, longer than most shops on this list. Its catalog holds thousands of strains, from large breeders such as Dutch Passion, Strain Hunters and The Cali Connection down to small boutique breeders and collector genetics. Cannapot also runs its own breeding projects. If you want a specific breeder’s original pack, this is the first shop we would check.

Shipping costs are capped. Checkout never charges more than €9.99 for postage, orders above €150 ship free with Austrian Post, and any order worth €100 or more goes out insured. Stealth delivery costs an extra €10: staff take the seeds out of the breeder packaging and repack them in a neutral container. You can order without creating an account.

Prices start low. Bulk Seed Bank autoflowers were listed at €14.02 a pack when we checked.

The trade-off is delivery time. Orders to the US come from Austria and pass through customs, so they take longer than a parcel from a domestic warehouse. One US buyer on the Overgrow forum recommends the stealth option for American orders.

If you want breeder packs that US warehouses don’t stock, buy Cannabis Seeds at Cannapot.

2. Seedsman

Seedsman started in 2002 and now ships from warehouses in the US, the EU, the UK and South Africa, so American orders never leave the country. The catalog mixes outside breeders with Seedsman’s own line. On Reviews.io the shop holds a 4.5 rating from more than 16,700 reviews.

3. ILGM (I Love Growing Marijuana)

ILGM ships only within the United States, from a US warehouse. It sells mostly its own genetics, and the short catalog suits beginners who don’t want to compare fifty breeders.

Read the germination guarantee before you rely on it. First-time buyers get one replacement. Seeds stored for more than 12 months are not covered, and neither are seeds germinated with a method ILGM doesn’t recommend.

4. Homegrown Cannabis Co.

Homegrown is a US seed bank with more than 400 strains across feminized, regular and autoflowering lines, and it ships to all 50 states. Its germination guarantee starts the day after delivery and allows one claim per order, so germinate a test batch soon after your seeds arrive. The grow guides on the site are among the better free resources for a first grow.

5. Crop King Seeds

Crop King has operated out of Vancouver since 2005 and breeds its own strains. Its guarantee states a number: if fewer than 80% of your seeds sprout, you can ask for replacements. Most seed banks don’t commit to a figure.

6. Herbies Seeds

Herbies is a European shop that added a US line called Herbies USA Express. Those orders ship through USPS and arrive in 2 to 5 business days, with no customs stop. Express covers only part of the catalog; the rest still ships internationally. Herbies sells its seeds as souvenirs.

7. Seed Supreme

Seed Supreme ships from a warehouse in Florida, with free shipping on orders over $99. It carries many breeders, which makes it useful for comparing brands without placing an international order.

How to choose between them

If speed matters most, pick a shop with a US warehouse: Seedsman, ILGM, Homegrown or Seed Supreme. If you want a particular breeder’s pack, a rare strain or a collector line that US shops don’t carry, Cannapot is the better pick, and the extra week in transit is the price.

Look at the guarantee terms as closely as the strain list. A guarantee with a short claim window is worth little if you plan to store seeds for next season.

Is it legal to buy cannabis seeds in the US?

For now, yes at the federal level. In January 2022 the DEA said seeds with no more than 0.3% delta-9 THC count as hemp. Seeds contain almost no THC, so seed banks shipped openly under that reading.

That ends soon. Public Law 119-37, signed in November 2025, rewrites the federal definition of hemp and excludes viable seeds from plants that exceed 0.3% total THC. That covers most seeds home growers buy. The change was due on November 12, 2026. A funding bill signed in September moved the seed exclusion to December 11, 2026, and Congress could move it again.

Growing is a separate question that each state decides. Some states allow home cultivation and others ban it. Check your state’s law before you germinate anything, and check the federal position again if you plan to order after December 11.
