I’m a fan of both the seed repository and cannabis, so I’m cheered by this news. But remember that cannabis doesn’t breed true; the plant that sprouts from a cannabis seed isn’t particularly similar to the plant that produced the seed. It’s like the apple in that respect. That’s why commercial growers of both plants use cuttings, not seeds, for propagation.
This is one of the central themes of Michael Pollan’s wonderful book The Botany of Desire
