Customer Reviews
They looked to all be in good shape. Very discret shipping. All in all I am very happy. Would like to make sure the ones I planted are the ones for medicinal pain relief among other great characteristics. If you could please email me and verify the ones i planted are the ones I'm seeking ? Thank you for your time.
I received my order about 5 days after purchasing it. The envelope was from an individual (I'm assuming whatever seeds you order come from the person who has the stock available). Everything was exactly what I ordered. Good transaction. 👍
