B.C. will allow adults to grow up to four cannabis plants at home under new recreational cannabis laws, but they aren’t going to make it easy, and if you get it wrong fines and jail time could result.
Beginning Oct. 17, government cannabis retailers will sell cannabis seeds, according to the Ministry of Public Safety.
However, the dozens of grey market cannabis retailers already doing business in B.C. risk steep penalties if they continue to sell seeds, or seedlings for that matter.
Aspiring home growers will not be able to legally buy juvenile cannabis plants the way they can a tomato vine at the local nursery.
The Liquor Distribution Branch will not carry seedlings for sale because they “are fragile, have a short shelf life, and are in need of constant care,” said the Ministry of the Attorney General.
