Relax, Everyone. Home Depot is Not Selling Cannabis Clones

In a since-deleted video, shared on Reddit, a customer at a Home Depot in Kelowna, B.C. appears to be perusing cannabis clones available for sale. The video appeared online on June 11, but the link is now dead on YouTube, with a message that the video has been removed for violating the site’s community guidelines.

In the video, the man says “I came across cannabis Sativa and Indica clones at Home Depot, $15.98, that’s sick,” before grabbing a few of the plants and going through the checkout. “That’s pretty neat. If you’re looking for you cannabis clones and you’re not quite sure where to get them, Home Depot has your back.”

It’s easy to believe it’s real, but it was most definitely a prank, as Home Depot is not licensed to sell cannabis. A search of Home Depot’s online inventory returns no result for cannabis clones. A phone call to the company’s media relations line was unreturned.

The Ontario Cannabis Store does not sell clones but they do sell seeds, with four varieties currently available, ranging in price from $49.95 to $60, plus shipping. Similarly, the BC Cannabis Stores currently has two seed varieties for sale, but no clones.

Newfoundland was the first province to sell clones online. In late 2018, CannabisNL listed clones from Eve & Co. for $39.99 plus $35 shipping. Currently, they have four varieties available online.
