Leo said: "NOBODY selling legal CITES App A species is distributing copies of the actual CITES documents. The reason is that to do so would invite the creative use of white out and a Xerox to create dummy documents. What the USFWS requires simply is the SALES RECEIPT indicating the person whom the plant was purchased from and that the plant was purchased inside the USA. "
So please tell me, what is to stop me buying a "legal" flask or plant, then photocopying the sales receipt & passing it on to my friends, thus legitimising their illegal plants ? If a complete paper-trail is needed, I'll generate one by making out a second sales-receipt, stating that I sold my legal plant to my friend. BTW ... when my original "legal" plant produces side-shoots and I sell them/ swap them/ give them away, what do I do with the original receipt ? Tear it up into the correct number of pieces and give one piece away with each plant ? You're making it too easy. Like I said before .... expect 18 months and some phenomenal growth-rates.
