My possessions charge has no effect and he said the only thing that would stop someone from getting a license would be Felony C or higher.

The old law - and i don't think it was amended in the new one - had wording that marijuana cultivation felonies and felonies more than 10 year old would not count against you.

Good Luck Kolz with the interview ... I hope that everything goes your way as you seem very eager to helping out others that want to smoke "Their meds of choice" ... The other organization I meant to tell you yesterday was "The Maine Green Cross" ... This is a chapter here in Maine from the one that is based in California. If I can help you out in any way, by all means shoot me a pm on here ... As I would be glad to help out

so maine green cross is a maine group, no affiliation with cali at all.......call Ron and ask him if you want an opinion on cali.....lol

check out mmcm...they are a good group.....

Thanks guys!! Maine yankee I PM'd You

Now just in need of finding a patient. If anyone can help out I would appreciate it GREATLY. I live in Portland, College Student, 23.

theres alot more to be a caregiver than just growing.....you need to know and understand the laws and have a firm grasp on HIPPA.....take a couple days and read the laws, know them in and out.....then look for patients.....

Another thing to be aware of too is having sufficient inventory once you get going. I almost ran out a month or so ago while still waiting for my first crop in my redesigned setup. Just made it tho, down to my last ounce. What I mean is, having a patient counting on you, signing up with you, then having to say at some point I'm out. I am determined not to let that happen again, and with my current setup it won't be a problem.

I get what your saying. I have nothing right now so my inventory is depleted. Just hoping for help from my brothers and sisters

I almost always have a few extra Oz's to donate to cardholding fellow caregivers....

If someone is a patient and they provide for themselves. Is it possible for them to also designate a caregiver?

yes but you have a 6 plant max and a 2.5 oz every two week max, so in theory, you can have your caregiver and go to the disp. but you have to regulate not purchasing more than 2.5z /2week or you can grow and your caregiver can grow but with no more than 6 plants followering total, between the two of you. Thats how I read it, anyways..

I see. So If I had 1 patient. With both me and him growing at separate locations. Our combined total of flowering plants can not exceed 6?

no, if you are a patient and you have a patient then your numbers would be 12 BUT if you are not a patient, then yes, exactly. 4 at your place and 2 for the patient = 6

Looks like that probably wont be happening. Still in search of a patient.

you can have your caregiver and go to the disp

that is wrong you can have a caregiver or a dispensary but not both......

Yup, just like you used to be able to have two caregivers, one of which was "primary" and able to grow. Now it's only one caregiver.

I believe this is still true. a dispensary (with your state card) and a caregiver with your 6 plants, except you can't purchase more than 2.5 every 2 weeks. I know you can't have 2 cregivers and you can't go to 2 dispensaries but just like you can grow 3 and your caregiver can grow three.. you can't repeat the same source but you can mitigate sources to maintain a safe constant access for patients.. Call John on it, im pretty sure i'm right on this.
