the climate in neither .be nor .nl is suited for our favourite strain of hemp plant, which comes from Asia. Every year I grow four to five plants in my garden (I live in .nl), although I only smoke a few times a year. With the ice-a-lator, I use the leaves to make very high quality hash.
What you need is a good outdoor strain which can stand weeks of rain in the summer, which does happen far too often in .nl and in .be.
Why seeds? Best bet is to buy clones (Klonen of stekken in Nederlands), which are a little difficult to find but give the best results -- you know that all of the plants will be female! Ask your favourite grow-shop in .nl.
dunno what the situation is like in .be, though it's good to hear that it's less fanatic/witch hunt-like these days.
