Access to clones

I heard that the producers are not allow to give clones anymore.

Were they ever allow to,to begin with?

[coolslayer]

Should have said,"Were they ever allowed to in the first place?"

[badrat31]

Anyone have any luck getting clones from producers? I understand seeds are illegal but clones are not. The problem I'm seeing, is clones contribute to the 95 plants a producer can have therefore, you don't see them.

I know of one that has offered them but have residency requirements.

If I have to procure seeds again I will, but I'd rather have some good cuttings and you'd think they'd be easy to get

Should have said,"Were they ever allowed to in the first place?"

Yes I think so; the rules said that the producers are to get their inventory by their own means and the same goes for personal producers. I am confused by the HD change of heart that blocks us from getting any clones through legal channels. If you want know then ask the producers to inform us on the changes; if you hear it from them then questions answer fully.

I have heard that they can and then they cannot offer clones. John Monad may have some insight to this. When we were up at NewMexicann back in May, I seem to recall Len telling him that there was an "issue" now and that clones were considered to be part of the plant count. Not sure where that stands currently.

SWOP mentions this on their website:

Q: Can I get Clones or seedlings from you?
A: Yes and No. Our strict adhesion to the 95-plant limit minimizes our ability to offer seedlings. Clones, are another thing all together. We are compiling a list of qualified patients who wish to receive clones - see the article in the next Newsletter called: SWOP Clone Exchange Program.

Again I am not sure where this stands now as this is the same FAQ I have seen for several months.


Sooooo....this is an excellent question and I will try to give SWOP and NewMexicann a call this week and see what they have to say.

Hope the answer is a positive one for patients.

There is nothing to indicate you cannot aquire clones from a producer, they simply don't have the inventory.

Same with product, all the law/act say is that you get it from within the state, not how.

Thanks for the info.

The real problem is the producers can only have 95 plants at one time. If they had 20 clones a month available to patients for sale it means they can only grow 75 plants for medicine.
The rules and regs need to be amended so the clones don't count in the total plant count.
Hopefully this will change soon.
