The problem is that giving a plant to someone is considered to be trafficking, under the definition of “trafficking”. And, if we are talking about trafficking, we are talking about quantities, volume and weight. Whether there is one plant or five plants, the important thing is that the weight be less than three kilos. When trafficking is involved, we are referring to section 4 and not section 7. So, Schedule VII is the relevant schedule and it talks about a weight of less than three kilos.
