I always have a lot of free clones, but I don’t know if its legal to give them away. I live in the Virginia Beach area. Do anyone know if its legal to give away clones in order to stay compliant

Hello, Popper2

I looked and according the the laws in Virginia….The law says that clones/seeds and young plants count as parts of the “marijuana plant,” and giving those away for value or commercial purpose is not legal.

I’d say: If you’re just giving a clone to another adult (21+) as a true gift, with no money, no strings attached, and no deal involved, you’re probably okay legally or at least safer.

But if you’re giving clones a lot, advertising “free clones,” tying them to something else, or giving them to someone under 21, that could get you into a legal gray area.

I have free seeds and if the law says you can give them away without exchange for anything does that include if you give them away and only ask the person to pay for the shipping. This is a crazy law, because if you can grow weed in Virginia, how do they expect you to get the seeds unless you but them.

Lila, You’re correct that cannabis seeds can legally be given away in Virginia as long as there is no exchange of money or anything of value for the seeds themselves.
Where it gets tricky is shipping. If you ask someone to “pay for shipping,” the state might view that as an indirect exchange for the seeds
