Commercial propagation is regulated: Law 10113 covers seeds, seedlings and cuttings, and licensed medical or authorised hemp growers must use lawful, registered material.

The narcotics law's definition of cannabis excludes seeds, and the general seed law exempts an individual's non-commercial storage and use of seed. Germinating cannabis is nevertheless unlawful outside the authorised medical, scientific or industrial channels. Commercial seed and planting material must be certified; medical growers must obtain certified seed from a registered seed or nursery operator. A cutting is planting material and also a cannabis plant, so clones are confined to authorised cultivation and regulated trade.

Sowing cannabis seed is legally part of cultivation, and growing remains confined to medicinal cultivation or traditional-cultivator licences. The same licensed system covers plant nurseries and allows planting material to be imported only under an import licence; the Medicinal Cannabis Authority publishes a separate seed import and export protocol.
