    Default Cannabis act question - definition of a plant.

    Debated which section to post... Move if needed... It could fit in a few.

    Question for those LEO's, lawyers and lovers of political details.

    I've hunted through the cannabis act, and definitions... And I'm struggling with one aspect. How does the cannabis act define a plant?

    Say for example I have 4 plants growing legally.

    If I took a ~1/4" cutting of each put those into agar in the fridge - so it's in stasis, not actively growing but technically alive and could be a viable plant...

    Do those cuttings count as a plant?

    CanLII provides some caselaw on 'clones' but generally those would be 4-6" size range and actively growing. And most predate the current cannabis act, which makes it even more unclear...

    Thanks in advance,

    Insert grains of salt, because I have no fucking idea.
    However... My guess is that cuttings are clones, so however those are treated, that's likely the rule. Did they previously consider clones = plants?
    The spirit of the law is personal consumption plants are permissible and that number being four seems already very high. (LoL, high).
    >4 means "you're selling" which means you're committing the greatest crime of all - preventing gov't from getting tax money.


    There should be someone in here with a much more knowledgable answer than I.

    Pre-legalization, illegal grow definitely plants. But medical side, there are judgements of yes and no, with little seeming rhyme or reason.

    And depending on which section of the act its defined differently. Which is why it's confusing

    see why this is so hard? Seriously these are definitions of a plant? So the fan leaf I cut off this morning is part of my plant count but the root I trimmed because it was clogging isn't?

    our government at work folks can they make things any more cryptic?

    Growing my own 5 plants was too much work. I have my license to grow 20 plants, I can't even imagine. I stopped smoking about 8 months ago also so big waste of time and money. I've sold all my grow equipment at a big loss.

    To each their own, I like growing always have. Something to tinker with. Getting a known quantity in my extracts for migraines is good enough - the edison stuff all 4 vials I got were completely different in effect. In pg instead of alcohol even better.
