Looking To Become A Caregiver

[aku92]

I currently reside in Indiana and have been giving some consideration about moving up into Michigan to become a caregiver but i was just seeing if any one had some info on how to become one and the processes involved in becoming a caregiver

[Kingdiamond]

Well first off you need to establish residency in Michigan that's a 6 month process I believe second there is not a ton of money to be made growing cannabis since your only allowed to provide to up to 5 patients so unless they are big spenders you will likely just make minimal profit .

 

If you have any type of assaultive felony or a felony drug charge or any felony charges in the last 10 years you are precluded from becoming a caregiver but you can still be a patient and grow for yourself .

 

You also  have to find a county to move to that isn't  anti medical cannabis Wayne county seems to respect the medical law better than others .

It takes 30 days to establish residency.

 

You don't make people your patient, rather they make you their caregiver.  You can't be a caregiver until somebody makes you their caregiver.  If you're from out of town it can be difficult to establish patients.

 

You need to get an established grow before looking for patients.  You do this by becoming  patient yourself.  When you are growing enough for yourself, plus a surplus, it's time to go looking for patient.  

 

You're only allowed to legally sell to five patients.  If they don't spend a lot of money, it can be difficult to make a profit.  Mostly, it's like a good part-time job.

30 days ?

 

I could have swore it was 6 months ?

I think KD meant felony convictions not felony charges

Honestly, all it takes is an address in Michigan.  Nobody is going to check on how long you lived there.

How do I Become a Resident of Michigan?

Residency means different things for different purposes. Some examples are:

• Gaining the ability to vote in this state
• Securing a Michigan driver license
• Registering your motor vehicle
• Registering a recreational vehicle or boat
• Being required to file income tax statements in Michigan
• Becoming a licensed professional in Michigan
• Being able to pay in-state tuition for colleges and universities

For each of these instances, follow the link above to gain more information. In the case of in-state college tuition, each college has its own requirements. You will need to contact the college you plan to attend.

[Kingdiamond]

Most with the exclusion of Oakland seem to be  respectful of the law not sure about the upper part of the state.

Yes but each would only be able to grow 12 plants 24 total going this route but they cant be mingled together they have to be separated from each other ..

[kapt]

I would not think you will make a living on growing ,medical here in Michigan. Not if your growing just for your patients. Not saying you would do anything other then that. but the law here is set up for small personal giverships. and those ya dont make a living at.

[aku92]

Oh yeah im going to stick to the guide lines to do things right and proper so im not breaking the law. What aboit selling my excess about of mmj to a dispensary?

[aku92]

So she would have to have a room and myself a room or two seperate locations?

Currently dispensaries are illegal, so you'd be taking a chance. Oh, there's also the fact that caregivers can legally only transfer meds to their own patients. However, there are a couple of farmers markets still operating. They may not be legal, but I understand that at least for the one operating in Flint, the powers that be accept it and don't give them any trouble. 

 

So she would have to have a room and myself a room or two seperate locations?

They just have to be separate, and locked so that the other person can't have any access to the plants. They can be right next to each other, as long as one person can't enter the other person's grow. At least that's my understanding.

I am confused also as I understood that only the CG and PT were allowed in the garden?

The tribal lands are under federal jurisdiction.  The state MMJ law does not apply to them.  It has been a problem with people visiting casinos.
