After hearing a flurry of media stories on the subject of the hoodia gordonii plant many people now want to grow hoodia.

This seems like the best thing to do because the news correspondents who reported on the wondrous effects of hoodia ate hoodia itself.

Moreover, the tales of the Sans Bushmen using hoodia gordonii for thousands of years to suppress their appetite are also of them cutting the stalk, skinning the exterior, and then consuming it.

Sure, there are a lot of supplements and pills on the market claiming to contain hoodia, but wouldn't it be better to just obtain some hoodia seeds and grow hoodia yourself for your own personal use?

Yes....in theory. But there's a few problems that make this wishful thinking.

Hoodia gordonii is a protected species in south Africa. Permits are required to cultivate it even if you reside there.

For those of us who live in the Western world, the plant is governed by international trade regulations thru something called the CITES (C.I.T.E.S.). In short, countries that import hoodia must have a valid CITES permit, which is difficult to obtain.

From the research we've done, because hoodia gordonii is extremely rare and regulated, it doesn't seem possible, nor even legal, to purchase hoodia seeds to grow hoodia for your own personal use if you live in the Western world. At the very least, you would need to get required permits that are probably not available to individuals.

But, theoretically, even if you could procure hoodia seeds, you'd probably never be able to successfully grow it anyway.

Hoodia Gordonii is notoriously fickle and difficult to grow. It needs just the right kind of environment and is very sensitive to watering (even a little too much can kill off the seeds via rotting).

It's even been reported by cultivators of hoodia gordonii with permits that entire acres get wiped out for no discernible reason, just reinforcing its fickle nature.

Lastly, hoodia gordonii takes years to mature before it can be used (5 to 7).

For all of these reasons and more, it is highly doubtful that people can obtain hoodia seeds and grow hoodia in the Western world for personal use.

None of this is legal advice. We're just stating how we understand this topic from our own research.

Much better of an idea than to grow hoodia, at least to us, is to find companies selling hoodia gordonii products that display a hoodia c.i.t.e.s. certificate so you can maximize your chances of getting the real stuff.
