As of 2025, Idaho maintains some of the strictest cannabis laws in the United States, and cultivation remains illegal. However, hemp seeds containing less than 0.3% THC can be legally purchased online as “souvenir” or “collector” items.

🌱 Where to Order Hemp Seeds in Idaho

Since there are no dispensaries in Idaho, the only option is to order through online seed banks that ship to the state. These shops typically offer “stealth shipping,” where seeds are packaged in discreet packaging without identifying labels.

Here are some reputable seed banks:

⚖️ Legal Status: What You Need to Know

Understanding local laws is crucial to minimize risks:

• Seed Possession: Seeds sold as “collectible” or “souvenirs” can be legally acquired and stored. The legal basis is the 2018 Farm Bill, which legalized industrial hemp.
• Germination and Cultivation: Any action to germinate seeds or grow plants is strictly prohibited by law and is prosecuted.

💡 What to Consider When Ordering

• Choosing a Seed Bank: Prefer reputable companies with good track records, seed guarantees, and transparent shipping policies.
• Strain Selection: If you plan to keep seeds for collection, pay attention to different types: feminized (guaranteed to produce female plants), auto-flowering (fast maturation), and high-CBD strains (non-psychoactive cannabinoid).
• Idaho Climate: If legislation ever changes, for successful cultivation in Idaho’s climate with its short summers and cool nights, auto-flowering and indica-dominant strains with short flowering periods are better suited.
