Have you tried planting a seed in it?

No, to be honest I never considered using dust as a growing medium. I'm unconvinced that dust has good enough hydro retention to do the job.

I guess it does depend on the nature of the dust in question, though most of the dust in my house is ash.

Does this count as "aiding and abetting?"

Nah. We're pretty slack in that respect. Seeds aren't illegal. So I could sell seeds to someone and not break the law, even if they tell me they intend to plant it, grow it and smoke it.
