John Sinclair | Lauréat du prix d'excellence du magazine High Times!

October 2011 - Popularised by John Lennon in the song 'John Sinclair' (from Lennon’s album Some Time in New York City), Sinclair has a long career of cannabis activism behind him. Ceres Seeds is proud to announce the brand new line of seeds in honour of the Detroit poet, radio maker, political activist and famed cannabis connoisseur. In collaboration with Ceres Seeds, John Sinclair is now launching his favourite varieties in the new line of John Sinclair Seeds, including a beautiful Sativa that John named 'Trans-Love', a powerful Indica called 'Viper' and a classic knock-out Skunk we named for Ceres Seeds home town and John Sinclair’s home-away-from-home: 'Amsterdam'

John Sinclair Seeds is the new line of connoisseur cannabis seeds which honours both superior quality and the political march towards cannabis legalization. The marijuana legend John Sinclair has through over 50 years of cannabis activism developed a skilful taste for high quality bud. Over the last three years, cooperation with Ceres Seeds, John Sinclair has selected four stable varieties which all capture, in their own way, the essence of a connoisseur’s choice.

Cannabis Hero

John Sinclair has made a legendary contribution to cannabis legalization. He became a heroic icon of counterculture and of cannabis activism when he in 1969 was arrested for giving two joints to an undercover narcotics officer. He was sentenced to 10 years for possession of marijuana. This event caused widespread reactions. Abbie Hoffmann jumped the stage during The Who’s concert during the legendary Woodstock Festival in protest of Sinclair’s arrestment, and several protest were issued in the aftermath of the arrest.

"It ain't fair, John Sinclair
In the stir for breathing air"
- John Lennon

It was not until two years after, however, that any of these protests would see any effect. John’s arrest and imprisonment sparked the landmark 'Free John Sinclair Rally' in Ann Arbour in Michigan in December 1971. This was a huge event with a significant presence of influential left-wing personalities, including John Lennon and Yoko Ono, Stevie Wonder, David Peel, Pete Seeger, Allen Ginsberg, Abbie Hoffmann, Jerry Rubin, and numerous others. John Lennon even recorded the song 'Free John Sinclair' on his album Some Time in New York City (1972). Thanks to the enormous contribution to the rally and the massive protest against Sinclair’s imprisonment, the 'Free John Now Rally' was successful. After the gathering to free Sinclair, Michigan Supreme Court rules that the state’s marijuana laws were unconstitutional. John Sinclair was released only three days after the rally, after having spent two of his ten year jail sentence.
The arrest and subsequent liberation of John Sinclair became such an iconic case for the counterculture movement and for the legalization of cannabis, especially as the liberation of Sinclair inspired the decriminalization of marijuana in Ann Arbour, Michigan. The John Sinclair Foundation is today of one of key organizations to promote health benefits of marijuana, the manifold usage of hemp, and the importance, as well as the ethics and ideology, concerning the legalization of cannabis.

Amsterdam Cannabis Connoisseur

As a pro-cannabis activist, John Sinclair has long been fond of the liberal soft drugs laws of the Netherlands and has spent a good portion of the past decades studying the consequences of its decriminalization. Continuing his dedication to cannabis activism, he has initiated the celebrated radio channel 'Radio Free Amsterdam' and continues to further the pro-cannabis movement through multiple platforms. He got affiliated with Ceres Seeds during his quest for cannabis excellence in the Netherlands, and has worked closely with the Ceres Seeds team to select four strains which mirror the taste of a cannabis connoisseur and legend. The result is the finest sativa, indica, skunk and automatic you will find. Ceres Seeds are proud to donate the benefits of John Sinclair Seeds product to the John Sinclair Foundation. When buying John Sinclair Seeds not only do you get your hands on the finest plants in the business – you also support the John Sinclair Foundation.
