Sensi Seeds
Pioneers of the cannabis seed industry Sensi Seeds pioneered the cannabis seed industry in 1985. Today, the company is the largest cannabis bank in the world with over 500 strains. These genetics and the brand name have become true classics in the cannabis community. The Dutch government has chosen the genetics of Sensi Seeds to develop medicinal cannabis distributed by pharmacies. Bringing cannabis into sunlight Sensi Seeds aims to normalize cannabis consumption and recognize the therapeutic and industrial benefits of the plant. This led the company to open the world's first cannabis museum in 1985. The Hash Marihuana & Hemp Museum is now present in both Amsterdam and Barcelona and has welcomed over two million visitors. Together with the museum, Sensi Seeds regularly hosts the Cannabis Culture Awards. This award celebrates those who have taken a stand for the acceptance of cannabis. Winners include Sir Richard Branson and former Prime Minister of the Netherlands Dries van Agt. Sensi Seeds has worked with some of the world's leading activists over the years, such as Howard Marks and Jack Herer. Find out more about our family of cannabis farmers here. Reviving the hemp industry Sensi Seeds opened its sister company, HempFlax, in 1993.
The company developed new processing methods and equipment specifically designed for growing hemp. These innovations have since become the industry standard. They are now used by major agricultural and construction equipment manufacturers, including John Deere. HempFlax products are widely used in the textile, food, construction and personal care industries. The automotive industry has also adopted hemp, including brands such as BMW, Mercedes and Bentley. Hemp is making a successful comeback and HempFlax is at the forefront. Other affiliates include the Hash Marihuana & Hemp Museum in Amsterdam, the Cannabis College in Amsterdam, the Hemp Museum Gallery in Barcelona, the Hempstory in Amsterdam, and the Flying Dutchmen in Amsterdam. Looking at the future The world's attitude towards cannabis is changing. Countries are now legalizing cannabis for medical and recreational use. The possibilities for industrial, nutritional and pharmaceutical applications of hemp continue to amaze us. Sensi Seeds will play its part and remain at the forefront of these developments.
