legality of importing san pedro into WA

[Eluna]

Was interested in buying some san pedro cuttings from interstate into western australia for regrowing, is this legal?

Thanks

hey eluna

yes and no

from the drug perspective, definitely not if you intend to consume them. and importing cuttings that do not have roots on them may be enough proof (probably not IMO, but others disagree... and it has never been tested in court so it's guesswork really)

from the quarantine perspective, if the cuttings are clean, free of disease, insects, and any soil or other dirt, and they are labelled with a correct species name that is on the DAFWA whitelist, then you won't have any problems. From this point of view unrooted cuttings will be far easier to get in because roots would probably have soil on them. Ah the contradictions...

but after saying all that - why bother? heaps of good genotypes in WA already.

Hi

Thanks for that

I just thought it would be easy to buy one online, then to search around here for a local seller of a proven genotype

Where would you suggest i look for a local source?

thanks again
