It doesn't require anything special to be a Caregiver. The only requirement is that you do not have felony drug conviction. The patient simply names you as the caregiver and your CareGiver card is issued.
No, they will not have the right to search your house, as a matter of fact the law state's that having a Caregiver or patient card is not a reason for a search warrant. The law was written by us for us. Karen O Keefe from MPP was the lead Attorney that crafted the ballot initiative. She attended the meeting with MDCH and turned in a 10 page report of the things that must be changed in the proposed rules for the rules to comply with the Law. The MDCH has asked us not to sue them while they figure out how to change the rules to fit the law.
This law is a constitutional change and would require a Constitutional Majority to change. In Michigan that require's 3/4 of the legislature to vote for a change, something very unlikely considering 63% of the voters approved the LAW.
You could assist her with out the card, there isn't any reason to since there are other possible advantages to being a registered caregiver. The law allows for the lateral tansfer of Medical
marijuana from patient to patient and allows you to recover your costs in growing the Medicine. The law says this does not constitute the 'sale of a controlled substance'.
We have a unique opportunity to go on offense and basically show LEO that if they do try to fugg with patients and caregivers they will end up in court on the wrong end of a Lawsuit. If Ed Rosenthal had this Law he would have been able to get his case trown out before it ever went to court. VV
