Quality seeds may be purchased over the counter in Amsterdam and Canada. They can also be purchased from a number of seed companies in Amsterdam and Canada via mail order.

Marijuana seeds come in a variety of sizes and colors. They vary in size, from a range of about 1/8 inch to 1/4 inch. Their shapes are round to slightly oblong. Seeds range in color from brown to grey to almost black. Some seeds are plain while others have irregular shaped, different colored lines, such as "lightning" or "tiger" stripes.
A good sign that a seed is viable and healthy will be the fresh "waxy" sheen it displays on its outer coat. A white or light green colored seed is usually the sign of an immature seed. If a seed is black or dark brown and has a dull "non-waxy" appearance, the seed may be dead.
