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

thank you so much!! that really clears up many questions i have. VictorVIcious if i have any more questions in the future can i send you a message? you've been a great help thank you again!! oh yeah one more thing, if im a caregiver would anyone legally have the right to piss test me at any time. other than my employer. would there be a chance that i could get into trouble using as a caregiver? thank you very much!!

If you are a caregiver and not a patient, your personal use would not be covered in any way by this law. It might have an effect, now LEO has to prove med patients are under the influence is they are driving. Having that information known by the public may have a slight impact on how judges look at failing a test. VV
