Why I added it
I want hemp to grow on more Slovak fields than today. Seed is the first step and the only step where there is no room for improvisation — certified seed with proof of origin is what makes a crop a crop of Cannabis sativa L. from the EU catalogue, whatever the variety.
Seedlings are for those who do not want to risk germination. Pre-grown on the farm, 10 to 20 cm, ready for direct planting, with the same documentation of origin as the seed.
MIDWEST SEED. Certified seed of Cannabis sativa L., variety Midwest, from the EU Common Catalogue, pack of 50 seeds. On request also pre-grown seedlings of 10 to 20 cm, pack of 10. With documentation of origin.
What you are holding. Seed with the blue label — the mark of certified seed in the EU, the only seed that founds a legal hemp crop. The Midwest variety: photoperiodic, feminised, of US origin, listed in the EU catalogue in 2022. The breeder states 10 to 13 % CBD, 99.6 % female plants, a profile of over 150 terpenes and harvest in early to mid October. Proven in Slovakia since 2023 at the Asterion farm.
Who it is for — and who it is not
Farmers and farms that want to grow flower or biomass. First-time growers who also need guidance through documentation and notification — Aleš of Asterion provides it.
Those who want to plant without documentation of origin. Aleš supplies seed and seedlings to growers with proof of origin and a notified crop — without that he does not supply. The seed is not intended for consumption.

My products, the CBDICAL products, I place on the market as collector’s items of botanical value. They are not a food, a food supplement or a medicine — not because they lack their quality, but because current regulation does not allow it.
Everything I write here describes the plant, my making of it and what research has looked into. It is also a picture of how I imagine a state that lets a person decide about their own body — and about their animals — according to science, rather than limits set out of excessive caution.
What you do with the product is your choice.
