Sensi Seeds - Amsterdam Cannabis Breeding Pioneers Since 1985
Experience legendary cannabis genetics with Sensi Seeds' historic strains, where Ben Dronkers' 40-year breeding legacy meets modern innovation for authentic Amsterdam cannabis excellence.
Founded in 1985 by visionary Ben Dronkers, Sensi Seeds represents the cornerstone of Amsterdam's cannabis breeding heritage. Born from Dronkers' transformative encounter with cannabis at age 17 on Rotterdam's Maasbrug, his passion evolved from merchant marine seed collecting across Asia and India into pioneering commercial cannabis cultivation. After dozens of arrests and careful study of Dutch Opium Act loopholes, Dronkers discovered that while large-scale cultivation was prohibited, seed production remained legal, launching the foundation of today's global cannabis seed industry.
