Ethical Cloning:

Cloning Marijuana
By Dr. Doobie.

Cloning is asexual reproduction. Cuttings are taken from a mother plant in 
vegetative growth, and rooted in hydroponic medium to be grown as a separate 
plant. The offspring will be plants that are identical to the parent plant.

Cloning preserves the character of your favorite plant. Cloning can make an 
ocean of green out of a single plant, so it is a powerful tool for growing 
large crops, and will fill a closet quickly with your favorite genetics.

When you find the plant you want to be your buddy for the rest of your life, 
you can keep that plant's genetic character alive for decades and pass it on 
to your children's children. Propagate and share it with others, to keep a 
copy, should your own line die out.

I fully agree.
