The authoritarian mentality and control of Soviet society morphed most conveniently into this NATO buffer state c/w '9/11', the 'War on Terror' and the '(new-and-improved) Threat of Russian Aggression', so seeds can't be delivered by post here due to confiscation and/or subsequent surveillance. (See 'Sensi Seeds' map (https://sensiseeds.com/faq/country.asp) and zoom in on European buffer states.)
The relevant thread I've found about legality is: https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=263716 "...all cannabis seeds are 100% legal in Finland. The only thing that makes them illegal is "a suspicion that they're ment for an intent to commit a drug related crime" (= they find some gear for growing). It is true that sometimes packages containing seeds just disappear but ~99% make it without any suspiction."

"No harm will come to the person who helps you if he/she isn't breaking the law in any way."
The question here is, 'Are there any shops in Helsinki where seeds are sold, e.g. as souvenirs, like they used to be in some shops in the UK?' We (father and son) are going to be staying in Helsinki for a couple of days at the end of August and would really like to meet up with some like-minded folk (old and young) while we're there. Ideally, we would find an airB&B where we could have a package from Sensi Seeds delivered before we arrive. We, of course, have no intention of committing a 'drug-related crime'. Although I have good reason to grow and use cannabis for medical reasons (both multiple sclerosis (now secondary progressive) and glaucoma) we are well aware of its legal status. We want seeds for souvenir reasons only: so that our children and their children may hold them in their hands and marvel at history, 'Once upon a time, your (great-)grandfather was compelled to go to extreme lengths to acquire these very seeds!'; something like homosexuals now marvel at the persecution of Oscar Wilde (Google it).
Unfortunately, I don't have fifty posts on this forum, although I've been a member for many years, so it offers no way to get a private message to us; and any attempt to publish personally identifiable information, like an e-mail address, on an open forum thread is subject to moderation (deletion). I've appealed to a Moderator for exceptional access to private messaging to no avail. Perhaps an appeal to contact us directly from a more senior and active IC community member might be more successful? Any comments, suggestions, etc. might be helpful and duly appreciated.
