They seem pretty clear in the statement:
Not sure what you mean by it’s up to me to germ seeds. I was more on the lines of creating seed and making them available on there. I’m an illegal grower and breeder and I make many more seeds than I can use in multiple lifetimes, so usually give them away to other amateur breeders and medical groups that I belong to on various social media. I would like to be able to trade or even giveaway seeds on Strainly, but according to their rules that is not possible.

Added for some clarification:
I think what they are doing is great and will aide many people now and in the future. Seems like they really don’t want to screw up the community by supporting illegal activities and I have to support them in that goal.
Interesting read on their blog. https://blog.strainly.io/2017/06/21/stay-safe-play-by-the-rules/#more-230 They really stress the importance of staying legal not just for you but the safety of the community. Plus when you post a strain you are supposed to include at least your zip code and while I realize I could easily lie, how does that make me a trustworthy member of the community? Don’t get me wrong, I’m probably going to purchase some genetics from there, but most likely won’t be listing any of mine there until my state is legal to grow.
Heck, I’ve waited 50 years for legalization, what’s a couple more years?
You can still use it. Im in an illegal state and have "donated" to breeders a couple times. No issues.
