Can I plant the edible hemp seeds sold at health food stores

Can I plant the edible hemp seeds sold at health food stores?
I love to eat hemp seeds, they are so nutritious! However, they are quite pricey so I was wondering if they would sprout if I plant the seeds? Also, is this illegal?

expensive & proprietary seed stock is usually damaged intentionally so the owner can keep a lock on the market.....

Nope, it's not legal to grow in in the American Colonies . In fact that is just what those county helicopters are searching for when they ride over the creek banks, ditches & Your Back Yard as it still grows wildly from earlier cultivation in North America. Either way its considered an illegal drug according to the US Govt. If it were not, we would all be growing our own, rather than importing it from Canada. Besides the Govt doesn't want us being self sufficient - we should be paying money for products, dependent upon them for their vast guidance ! LOL

it's not legal... can't grow industrial hemp in the usa, unfortunately. but also, they wouldn't grow. it would like trying to plant a sunflower from a pack of sunflower seeds, just won't help
