Sweet Seeds sells no more than 25 seeds per customer every three months and 100 a year, an unusual cap among seed banks, and only to adults for collection or genetic conservation, according to its own legal notice. Verdex lists four Spanish seed banks. Sweet Seeds in Valencia ships to Spain and a list of EU countries, but to Portugal only merchandise.

Buddha Seeds, registered in Beniparrell, Valencia, listed packs from €23 to €348 in September 2026. Kannabia, from Peligros north of Granada, has sold since 2009 and reports distributors in more than 20 countries. Dinafem in San Sebastián is marked unverified: its website said in September 2026 that it was not selling seeds.

Why a seed bank can sell what a balcony cannot grow

The 1961 Single Convention controls the flowering tops and resin of the cannabis plant and leaves seeds out, which is the reading Spanish seed banks cite in their legal notices. Spanish shops therefore sell seeds, usually labelled for collectors, while the plant is another matter.

ActionStatus in Spain
Buy or sell seedsLegal; adults only at these shops
Grow for your own use, out of sightNot treated as a crime when courts accept self-consumption; no plant limit in law
Plants visible from a street or neighbour's balconySerious administrative offence, €601 to €30,000 (Organic Law 4/2015, art. 36.18)
Grow for others or sell the harvestCrime under Penal Code art. 368

Paying a fine within 15 days halves it, and waives your right to contest the facts. Where the seeds go matters more than where they come from: the UK allows buying but not growing them, Germany allows three plants per adult, and Luxembourg requires seeds to carry the producer's name, seed count and a health warning. Read Spain's fines and private-use rules and the UK seed rule before ordering across a border.

Questions about this list

Are cannabis seeds legal in Spain?

Buying and selling seeds is legal because seeds are not a controlled part of the plant under the 1961 Single Convention, and Spanish seed banks market them to adults as collectors' items. Germinating them is tolerated only in private for personal use.

How much can I be fined for growing cannabis in Spain?

Plants that can be seen from a public place are a serious administrative offence with fines from €601 to €30,000 under Organic Law 4/2015. Growing out of sight for your own use is not treated as a crime, but courts judge each case.

Can I order cannabis seeds from Spain to another country?

Some Spanish seed banks ship across the EU, but every destination applies its own law, and some sellers exclude countries: Sweet Seeds ships only merchandise to Portugal. Check the destination's rules on possessing and germinating seeds first.

Buying in Spain

  • Possession

    Possession or use in public places is a serious administrative offense (fines €601–€30,000, Organic Law 4/2015 art. 36.16). Private possession for own use is not a crime.

  • Home grow

    Not regulated as a right. Cultivation visible to the public is a serious administrative offense (art. 36.18); private cultivation for own use is generally not prosecuted.

  • Public use

    Prohibited in streets, public establishments and public transport; fines from €601.

  • Sales

    No legal retail sale of THC cannabis. Seeds, growing equipment and cosmetic CBD are legal.

Summary, not legal advice — rules change; check local law.
