how difficult is it to become a primary caregiver? I have read all of the details and the law surrounding it. Is it as simple as you and two other people in your county having your scripts and agreeing to let you be their caregiver? Or do they have to have more serious medical problems which allow for this position of caregiver being applied?

You need lot's of $$$$$$ to start, have a license approved by the city, lawyers, product, security, etc. It's too much of a hassle and too risky. Check craigslist, some co-ops are being sold for ownership.

It is that simple in Colorado, not sure where you are from. You dont need much money, any permits or licenses. Any MMJ patient can designate somebody to be their Primary Caregiver. This allows them to grow medicine for the patient, also to purchase and possess in that persons name. There is no limit to the amount of patients you can have.

The state has set limits of three vegetative and three in flowering with a total of two dried oz at a time.Unless your Dr sees fit to increase your numbers higher due to your illnesses.Some of us are quite higher.:hump:
You can be anybody caregiver if they so deem you,and now can assist as many patients as you like.:mrgreen:

It is true, there are guidelines stated in the CO Constitution as to plant limits and dried med amount (2 oz's), however, the very next line in the statute states if you need more you can have more. 3/3 gives you very little room for ingestion other then smoking. A DR recommend is the safest way to increase your count but is NOT needed. DR. G in the Springs gave me 20/20 because I ingest mine orally. If you dont get a DR recommend beforehand you could be explaining why you need more from jail which is far from fun. But I personally know a single patient that got caught with 70 plants and just won in court. He has 1 more hearing to determine how much money the police have to reimburse him.

no matter what... dont grow over 99! my lawyer tells me not to go over 90 even.

There is a DR in Denver that adjusts plant counts but I'm not really worried about it. I had to pay a lot for 20/20. Straight out of the CO Constitution.
(b) For quantities of marijuana in excess of these amounts, a patient or his or her primary care-giver may raise as an affirmative defense to charges of violation of state law that such greater amounts were medically necessary to address the patient's debilitating medical condition.

I just spoke openly with my Dr and he agreed to 29/29 I have been allowed more if needed.Though with our new growing methods I don't believe anyone needs more than 9.

Our state considers the Doctor to be the Caregiver.Only the doctor can change your numbers.(we have been down this road):hump:

WRONG! Our state considers the Doctor to be the certified physician not the caregiver. Your caregiver is whoever you decide, could be your dear old Mum if you want. Your DR is NOT the caregiver, that is why they are in the DR boxes and your Caregiver is in the Caregiver Box. My card doesnt say anything about my DR being my caregiver. Does yours?

The constraints of many MMJ State laws are contrary to welfare of the patient. Those in 6 plants states (like me) have to figure out how to keep breeding stock, clones in veg, buds ready for harvest, harvested buds for ingestion, plants in various stages of bud ripeness, and on and on.

It's impossible, really, for an experienced herb grower to legally do their job (much less, the novice) and seems these limits were drafted by good intentioned folks with no actual clue as to what's actually involved in growing, and stocking, this magic med properly.

I mean, ideally, wouldn't most experienced caretakers need to mother up a couple/few strains . . . well, there goes my six.

You're absolutely right! These limits often aren't even close to adequate for the average patient. I'm also in a 6 plant state, and on top of everything you mentioned, that makes it very difficult to grow more than 1 strain at a time.

How are you to keep mothers of the strains that work for you with a 6 plant limit? If you use 2 plants for your mothers, that leaves you with 2 in veg and 2 in flower at any one time (or all 4 in flower, but still).

In my case I have so far found that a morning strain, afternoon strain, evening strain and a bedtime strain works best for me. Some days I may use only one strain, or two, but there are many days where all 4 would be required. How do I get those 4 strains if I'm not utilizing a dispensary or coop?

Within the limits, a patient can't be self sustaining on more than one strain.

Too sad, but so true.
As is, the people who need this the most are destined to failure before even sowing the first seed, but at least they won't know that for a grow or three.
If we're seriously going to allow pot for medicine, and since it's not a lethal product, serious committed caregivers need the freedom to provide the best possible product and ensure that it's usually available.

As noted, there'll always be folks growing for criminal profit and any MMJ licensed grower who sells on the streets need to be dealt with to allow the righteous their freedoms.
