Where does cannabis seeds originate from?
I'm writing a short response of the legalization of marijuana and whether it would be interstate or intrastate commerce. I was about to write my response on the Amendment being intrastate commerce until I notices something... doesn't cannabis come from Mexico?
I don't know much about drugs or marijuana, but I did some recent research on it and I would like to know where do you get cannabis seeds? I know cannabis can be grown in Colorado (where Amendment 64 was legalized this November). What I don't know is where does cannabis seeds originate and can they be grown in Colorado without any transportation from Mexico?
In other words, are cannabis seeds interstate (out of state) or intrastate (in state) commerce?
Please and thank you.

It is from hemp, which grows anywhere from the equator up to halfway through Canada.

Cannabis seeds come from the cannabis plant of course. If a "Legal State" is surrounded by "Non Legal States" then the seeds must originate from plants inside the state since it would be illegal to transport them through the surrounding states or through the mail since it is against Federal law. Therefore they would have to be grown from seeds purchased within the state and therefore would be intrastate.
If the state has an adjoining state that is a "Legal State" I suppose they could be legally (state law wise) shipped from one state to the other and they could be "Interstate".
In both cases the purchase and sale is still illegal under Federal laws.
Hope this helps
