Probably. I had a friend that worked for a pet shop several years back. They got shipments of hemp seeds for feeding the animals. But he said every once in a while they would find some buds in there too, so all the employees would fight over who got to open the new bag.

I was under the assumption that most or all hemp was high CBD plants and pretty much worthless for recreation....

i've heard that too however it's still cannabis sativa and illegal.
the only reason 'hemp' seeds are legal (in birdseed and other uses) is because they are sterilized.
seems like a lot of legal grey area would occur from this though.

i know someone who used to grow hemp seeds from something similar, it was fairly average in potency when it was done. it started as a joke, but in all honesty, if you smoke enough, it still gets you fucked

At least here the hemp, which is used to grow fibre and seeds for nutriment is basiclly THC free and viable seeds are readily available from many stores. It still needs hell of a lot paperwork to grow large amounts of it legally even tho Cannabis sp. itself is legal to grow for looks (for recreational use it is illegal and it is other thing to prove you are growing just for the looks unless you are 80-year old grandma). Seeds regardless of their strain are legal, because what the fuck, the seeds can be used to do alot of things.
But oh well, I'm not living in AMERIKA. Just an input from Europe.

wouldn't they be legal anyway because they don't contain thc? technically they'd be in the same class as poppy seeds.

wrong.
actually he's right. look on youtube for hemp, they have some interviews with hemp growers who do say it is possible to get high of it, however canadian law (now accepted worldwide) requires thc to be below a certain percent, so they have to kill it if it isn't below that certain percent. but it is possible to have hemp that you can get high off of, it would just be illegal.
