Whoa! guess what I found in my morning herb!

2 seeds!!!!

It's funny but since weed's been legalized, it's almost impossible to come across seeds in your herb. Since they specifically sell seeds now, it's like really hard to find.

So I am actually taking these as a sign of some good luck or some shit today!

I guess not necessary anymore since you can buy seeds of plants that don’t produce seeds anymore.I
still have some.

I assume from a clone, with no males around. (If it was grown outdoors and pollinated by a nearby errant male, then it might be less risky, but then you wouldn't know it's genetics.) When a female produces seeds on it own, those hermie seeds are likelier to produce a herm plant, which not only degrades the quality of that plant, but also puts the rest of your crop at risk of getting pollinated by it.

My advice is to toss the seeds, don't risk growing them. They're more a sign of bad luck than good.

One of my cousins asked me back then to hide a full prescription bottle full of seeds for him.

He forgot about it. I found it years later, but before it became legal. Tossed it 😄

It would be 'dirt' compared to today's weed. They are over 20 years old.
