DSCE will not work with untested breeders or seed banks that only produce first generation strains. We only work with breeders that have stabilized genetics that produce results generation after generation. DCSE and its affiliates provide “souvenir seeds,” otherwise known as hemp seeds, that are negligible in THC and are legal in most states and countries to possess. Our souvenir seeds may be used for collection or for food or for genetic preservation purposes. We do not condone illegal acts with our products. Our products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.

Can you demonstrate a need for seeds? We have a limited number of seeds donated by generous breeders just for you! ​Please note priority is given to those in need including veterans, persons with disabilities, and care providers. Thank you for your time and we hope you enjoy your stay at DCSE!
