I agree with you 100%! Four plant limit is totally impractical since marijuana plants that grow the buds that have THC and can be used for smoking or baking, have to be female! If you grow the plants from normal seeds, you are likely to get 50% male and 50% female plants, so half of your plants will need to be discarded. You don't want the male plants since they will pollinate the female plants, and you will get lots of unwanted seeds. As soon as you can identify the males, they need to be evicted from your garden.

When you grow only female plants, you will still get some seeds, which you can plant the following year. One other way to get only female plants, is to clone them, and this is what the commercial producers do. I am sure the garden centres will also be offering female plants, but at a huge price premium. You CAN buy special 'feminized' marijuana seeds, that will produce only female plants, but these are very expensive, with prices starting at $10 per seed! These are available at your local 420 store https://420kingston.com or on-line.
