Ok, so I have my medical license, and was wondering about getting a care-giver, I wanted to have my friend as my caregiver since he owns the place that he lives in and I live in an apartment, however he does not have a medical marijuana license and is not a patient, I was reading up on the laws and I didn't find anywhere that said you have to be a medical marijuana patient to be a caregiver in colorado, but the doctors told me that you have to have a license to be a caregiver and then suggested that I make the dispensary (which is in connection to the doctor that recommended my use of medical marijuana) my caregiver.
So I was wondering if that was at all the case or if I could find some random joe on the street and make them my caregiver, assuming I trusted them?

Yep, feel free to make your friend your caregiver if you want him to be able to grow for you. You do not need a special license, permit or whatever to do so. As you say, any Joe off the street can be your caregiver.

Making your friend your caregiver allows you both to collectively hold 2oz and 6 plants... with 3 of those in flower. Not each of you, but between the two of you those amounts stand. He needs to hold a copy of your cert and a copy of the change of caregiver form if he is not listed on your cert.

Many dispensaries try to sign you over right away so the can use your 6 plant allocation to support their dispensary. If you friend can manage to grow, you can have somewhat inexpensive medication.

Hint: To get top shelf quality is harder than it appears on the surface. Contrary to popular insight, cannabis really does not just grow like weeds

I would lose that dispensary as well for lying to you the first time you have ever dealt with them.

And if you are in the springs...feel free to look us up

I've recently been looking into medical marijuana in Colorado, as I plan to move there in November... So what your saying is I could be your caregiver but since I wouldn't be a licensed patient I would only be able to grow YOUR 3 plants in flower and YOUR 3 plants in veg. A caregiver does not have to have a license to grow as long as he has YOUR certificate proving its for YOU? Am I understanding this correctly>?

That is correct.

Well I'll be damned! I'll be in summit county, look me up If you need a caregiver.

Do the plants have to be grown at your residence? Could a group of people make each other their care givers and pool it into one grow location?

No they don't need/have to be grown at your residence or even at the address you supply the State on your application.
Yes a group can band together and share a grow site.
I would recommend marking each plant, posting a notice about being legal and having copies of the patients cards that you are growing for within easy reach.

Thanks, I guess sea of green technique is out of question. Hopefully I can get my group of friends to see the benefits of this type of co op. My only worry is that too many personalities will clash and it won't work out.
