 The other day I found about a cup of seeds that I got when I visited a relative in northern California 3 years ago.  They worked for a grow operation and these seeds were giving to me.  I forgot the exact strain, but want to say it was a derivative of gorilla glue that they were custom growing for the grey market.

The question is, what should I do with them?  Since they are three years old are they still viable?  I live in a non-legal state; so I figured I would just randomly drop them in some remote areas that I forage and hike around in, and just see what happens.  And now that it is winter time, do you stratify them in this cold weather or wait until warmer weather?  Or do I just mix them with my bird seed, and let nature do its thing?

I really don't partake but maybe a handful of times per year, so if these are non-viable or do not work out, it is no real loss on my part.  I'm more curious to see if I can become a pseudo Johnny Marijuanaseed versus trying to get a crop.

 I’m not a weed expert but seeds are built for long term survival. I’d bet you they’re still good to grow 
 I’ve reached out to a friend who has experience. Did you consider one of them growing tents? Some of them are quite stealthy 🥷 plus you can now use led grow lights which don’t leave a big mark on your energy usage. 
 I have access to any if I want any, so it is not about supply. :)

It was merely just to see if these seeds were worth just broadcasting in the wild to see what happens.  
 I’d love to learn what happens if you spread them willy-nilly. 
 Usually around April I forage for morel mushrooms in some remote areas.  Figured I would "dispose" of them properly.  Then in the fall when I come back to forage pawpaws, I'll see what happened. 
 And it’s called weed for a reason. It’ll grow well in the wild. But the harvest needs some proper timing and male/female isolation. 
Growing in the wild will work until it’s spotted and someone spots them and reaps the benefits. 
 Weeds not a north american native plant it will not grow in the wild in 99% of the states without significant attention 
 Those seeds are still viable. Dont plant them randomly, most likely they will not grow in the wild, just grow it yourself
