Didn't know there was private messaging here, all I ever see is this thread. the guy I talked to thru facebook evidently wanted cash, offered him 10 of my 12 plants allowed and never heard from him again, obviously not a caregiver. Not getting anywhere in here.

Well the problem is if I a guy plants 2 seeds then those are two plants. That guy gives you two flowered plants and has two seeds to grow for 4 months at what ever rate the power bill is. mine is anywhere from $300 to $500 a month I spend 4 to 6 thousand dollars a year just on power alone not counting seeds soil+amendments, labor. MMJ laws say reasonable compensation.

You can't make enough money off of 10 plants out of 12 to make the money up,I would need 3 ozs out of two plants and the grower takes his 10 and lets them grow to make more then two ozs off each.How is there no profit in that? I know 2 caregivers here that grow for 5 people and they both give their patients 2 ozs a month and sell the rest to a dispensary in Kalamazoo and pay all their bills with it. Unfortunately they both have a long waiting list if patients.

I want them to be my caregiver then. I cant sell to a dispensary they're not connected to me through the registry so its technically illegal. In a perpetual grow splitting a plant or two three ways doesn't really go very far. I wish you luck bud hope you find free weed I sure can't.

Why don't you just grow your own, that way you can 100% of whatever you reap. What I don't understand is why you believe any of the plants can be yours if a caregiver has possession of them. All the overhead, work and liability is on the caregiver. Sounds like you have heard sensational stories, so now you hope it's your turn to obtain medicine for free. If you really knew someone handing out ounces per/mo (for free, lol) you'd already be signed up with them. Grow your own.

At least now that people have taken time to explain, now you're not surprised. perhaps you'll appreciate the forum educating you and you can thank whomever has taken the time to respond to your inquiry.
If your still looking for a caregiver I live near Lansing. Let me know if your interested.

In the begining people were giving out a free ounce per month, at least around me they were. What card holders were doing was going to sixteen people and having them as their caregiver (no paperwork ofc) and getting a pound a month. Thats why it stopped around here anyway.

I live in a studio apartment that does not allow it.
I am looking but nobody wants to grow my 12 plants, give me 2 and keep the other 10, they all want 200-500 an oz., I am retired and have very little money and cannot afford those prices.

I understand where you're coming from but even if you were allowed to grow 12 plants you couldn't do it for $100 a month. On top of that you would be waiting four months before your first harvest. and how is somebody supposed to make money off your 12 plants? The problem is there really isn't money to be made. Most grow because they like growing If i could find a caregiver that would toss me free bud I would be all over it.

that sounds high.
if you interview w the right caregiver, i'd hope you'd be able to find it for less, perhaps much less.

You do you bro, I was just warning of the safety of using Facebook messaging. It's monitored for possible criminal activity and what's criminal is decided by the monitor. Safety first man. Didn't mean to shit on your thread. You must be new, you'll get used to that on here. Shitting on your thread and start pissing match are like step 2 & 3 around these parts.

Back to the circle of weed. I give u 10. u give me 2 free. The magic of illegal commerce makes me a rich drug kingpin and you have free weed. What could be simpler! You admit you are in need, yet you also want to dictate conditions. You want to be 100% legal yet offer no real protection to the caregiver. You realize your caregiver is tied in registry to only u for the full 12 plants, correct? Selling his 10 plans is illegal to anyone not connected to him via lara registry. So how on gods green have you done a DAMN thing for the caregiver? You've demanded free pot and outright told him to break the law to get his compensation with the rest of "your" plants. I'm retired also....from fucking with patients lol.

yeah, the problem for me is entitlement. a patients doesnt understand that their 12 plants are only theirs if they are growing for themselves. as soon as a caregiver is signed those 12 are in the caregivers possesion. so there is no "my plants" as a patient with a caregiver. there is no x amount of plants one keeps, or x amount of meds a patient is promised. as everyone keeps saying. the only legal way to go about this caregiving thing is to only help patietns connected through the regestry. imagine a dispensory trying to make any money off 5 customers MAX. now imagine a caregiver trying to keep bills kept up off 5 customers, even more when those five people have their personal smoke for the month. hmmm doesnt make munch since. and of course the whole legal risks, time it take to grow, large initial investments and constant reinvestments all adds to the fact that caregivers should be compensated at a fair donation rate. i went without heakth insurance for many years. still had to pay for all my dr. visits, and meds. hell 2 weeks worth of the pain meds i used to be on would cost almost 140$. 60$/ dr visit. just saying now that im off "traditional medcine" doesnt mean i forgot how much i used to pay to get relief before mmj. anyway. good luck everyone! i do hope OP finds someone to help. and if a compassionate CG is found, even if they say upfront $/oz donation, it often changes. could be a good harvest and a CG could afford to give away some. and the month after, maybe not. be flexable and educated on the law

In MMMP legalese 12 plants produce only 2.5 zips per patient. Doing that math 2 plants only have a 11.7 gram value and a zip would actually be a 40% take of the harvest. It's all rather absurd given the hundreds of dispensaries operating "legally" on Main Streets statewide. What is the cost of a good legal retainer these days? Would it be too much to ask that a patient at least cover that tax?

Why wait?one day I would love to move abroad and be a caregiver growing the best qualty organic bud
How fast do you go through an oz? Here is the offer I have for you, if your interested email me at [email protected]. I will pay for your MMM card and will pay to get it updated every 2 years (assuming you haven't gotten it yet) if you put me as your caregiver (I am legally responsible for your 12 plants. Thats all, I'm not asking for you to pay any bills,labor, or monthly supplies. In return whenever you needed I could get you OZ's for $185-225 depending on a few things (strain, travel, etc). Your going to have a tough time finding a caregiver that will just give you 2 of the 12 finished plants, w/o asking for a portion of the bills and supplies to be payed. If you wanted to keep 2 of 12 then you would have to pay a portion of the bills which I don't think you could do seeming you struggle to pay $200 a month for an oz. My monthly cost right now $600 + to run my flower room, $60 a month to run my veg room, and roughly $100 a month in supplies. I will make sure your taken care of and you will get the kushguy hook up once I get to know you more. Think about it and let me know no hard feelings either way.

I live in the uk so its a bit of a problem, but some of my weed does go to people with chronic back problems it just not legal where I live
which is a real shame as I have my bugget grow pulling some large yeilds, often pulling 12-16oz's from a 600w
cost me less than £200 for the crop without labor
also I have pulled 12oz's from a single plant indoors with other plants under 2x 600w hps
growing good weed can be done very cheap in soil with organic nutes
