peaches61 Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 Hello, I and my husband are both caregivers and are just now starting to help patients. We have searched and have not found the information we are looking for. Here is our question: Can multiple caregivers share the same grow room? Thank you for your responses.

Restorium2 Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 NO. You can only have access to the plants you are responsible for on the forms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celliach Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 NO! Each CG must have their own grow area that is not accessible to any other CGs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shishka Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 Why not have one of you run the veg room and the other run the flower room? Greg Rx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highlander Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 Why not have one of you run the veg room and the other run the flower room? That would require CG2CG transfer, which is a big grey (if not black) area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shishka Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 I suppose, if you happen to have LEO standing in your house watching you move plants from one room to the other... Or this, when hubby's veg plants are ready for flower he switches rooms and now runs flower and the wife, who's plants just finished in flower moves to the veg room with a new batch of plants. No transfer of plants. Just transfer of rooms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highlander Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 I suppose, if you happen to have LEO standing in your house watching you move plants from one room to the other... If the OP was asking what they can get away with, then yeah, ok. Keeping the plants in one room accessible only to husband and wife is as "safe" as keeping separate rooms and passing mmj between CGs. Either scenario is a "loose lips sink ships" kinda thing. The question was if it is legal to commingle the plants. So to tell someone to engage in one grey area activity (transfers plants from CG to CG then transferring finished meds back to the vegging CG) instead of the grey area activity they were contemplating (mixing the plants together) doesn't really do anyone much good.

Celliach Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 Recently the president of the DCCC was visited by local LEO. He and his wife are both CGs. They have separate rooms and separate keys. When LEO left without an incident after inspecting their grow they told them they had never seen someone with their paperwork and grow so together. The prez attributes some of the easy encounter with the fact that he and his wife had separate grow areas. For the record, he attributes his visit on the fact that he's running a campaign for treasurer of his township and believes the complaint was politically motivated.

Dj dab Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 So if they allowed this couple to both have seprate rooms, what kind of numbers are they doing. I was thinking of doing something the same. I feel comfortable with being maxxed out on patients and then she could have her own room with 12. Do we dare add patients to her room?? Or maybe just completely stay away from having her caregive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t-pain Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 federal minimum mandatory sentences start at 50+ plants. so its not wise to have posession of 50 or more plants at once. local prosecutors hand cases over to feds whenever they want. use this knowledge wisely. actually it may start at 100 plants. i havent found the law about mandatory minimums. might be good to look that up as well. before you start it may be wise to ask all of the doctors involved in your patients if they are willing to be witnesses in court. having a doctor who explains the required medication can help ...

Restorium2 Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 There's one at 50 and one at 100. It's usually the 100 that trips the trap that sends in the feds. But if you make someone mad they might jump you for over 50. The feds have been decent to those with cards, following state law, and staying under 100.

Subsequent convictions carry a 90-day mandatory minimum sentence and a maximum of up to three years in prison and a fine of up to $5,000.

The sale of paraphernalia is punishable by up to three years in prison. The sentence of death can be carried out on a defendant who has been found guilty of manufacturing, importing or distributing a controlled substance if the act was committed as part of a continuing criminal enterprise – but only if the defendant is (1) the principal administrator, organizer, or leader of the enterprise or is one of several such principal administrators, organizers, or leaders, and (2) the quantity of the controlled substance is60,000 kilograms or moreof a mixture or substance containing a detectable amount of marijuana, or 60,000 or more marijuana plants, or the if the enterprise received more than $20 million in gross receipts during any 12-month period of its existence. Mandatory Minimum Sentence When someone is convicted of an offense punishable by a mandatory minimum sentence, the judge must sentence the defendant to the mandatory minimum sentence or to a higher sentence. The judge has no power to sentence the defendant to less time than the mandatory minimum. A prisoner serving an MMS for a federal offense and for most state offenses will not be eligible for parole. Even peaceful marijuana smokers sentenced to "life MMS" must serve a life sentence with no chance of parole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFC Posted December 3, 2012 Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 How many plants do you figure on growing? I cannot imagine a situation where one of you with even half the allotted maximum of one CG couldn't keep up with ten patients and yourselves. Of course that leads to my next question, you say "your husband and you are both caregivers and are just now ready to start helping patients". How many patients do you actually have? I really would be amazed that you could find ten patients to sign on with you if you are as green as you sound. Either these people are looking thru gold colored glasses, or totally lost to reality..

For the record, regarding comforting words from leo concering grows inspected, see the Duval fiacso, 5 years and 10. They had such a good first inspection, motivated by an enemy neighbor.

chrissy0109 Posted July 12, 2015 Report Share Posted July 12, 2015 (edited) I am a CG and getting my grow room ready. I still am not clear on whether or not my husband (who is my patient) can help me in the growing process (legally) Does anyone have any input on this? Also we are not growing at home. It will be at another location. Thanks Edited July 12, 2015 by chrissy0109 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sure no one gives law enforcement any info on your arrangement if you happen to have them asking questions. They will twist around what you say when there are no witnesses(attorney) to listen in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trichcycler Posted July 12, 2015 Report Share Posted July 12, 2015 only one person in the grow room authorized to possess the plants within. only one person authorized to be in the room with plants. http://www.legislature.mi.gov/(S(zkdnl4ugrhpy4zunqg4nv2t5))/mileg.aspx?page=getObject&objectName=mcl-333-26423 suneday11 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Restorium2 Posted July 12, 2015 Report Share Posted July 12, 2015 The whole logic behind it was that if you are a felon you can't be a caregiver and can't have access to more than 12 plants because you are a felon. Only registered caregivers have the qualifications (not a felon and proved it) to have access to more than 12 plants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only registered caregivers have the qualifications (not a felon and proved it) to have access to more than 12 plants. They amended the law so that only the person who has the grow rights can be in the room. That is the law, I beleive the op asked a question about legality not what we want the law to be!
