You are compensated for your time and services to grow the medicine. The kicker sorta is then if u have a butt head patient they think they have the have the upper hand and are entitled to rights because at anytime they can renege and switch caregivers by sending in a change form and then you theoretically would be forced to get rid of the plants with in 14 business days

It is the responsibility of the patient to notify his or her caregiver, if applicable, that his or her card is no longer valid. It is the patient's responsibility to collect all cards associated with his or her patient card and return them to the Department. If the Department is notified by the patient that he or she would like to withdraw from the program, the Department shall notify the primary caregiver by mail at the address of record informing the caregiver that his or her card is no longer valid and must be returned to the Department within fourteen (14) calendar days[/FONT][/SIZE]
why is this in quotes? when your quoting someone or something it shouldnt have added wording. i know your on my side here but this isnt a quote from our law."A caregiver may receive reasonable compensation for services provided to assist with a qualifying patient's medical use of marihuana."
I've wondered why I keep seeing the same questions when its been there in B&Where is an intersting tid bit from the web page above.
Question: I am too ill to grow my own medical marihuana. What can I do?
Answer: The MMMA provides for a system of designated caregivers. The caregiver can acquire 2.5 ounces of usable marihuana and grow up to 12 marihuana plants for a qualifying patient. The caregiver may assist up to 5 patients. The caregiver must sign a statement agreeing to provide marihuana only to the qualifying patients who have named the individual as their caregiver. The caregiver's name, address, birth date and social security number must be provided to the state at the time of a patient's registration. The Department will issue a registry identification card to the caregiver who is named by a qualifying patient on his/her application. The Department may not issue a registry identification card to a proposed caregiver who has previously been convicted of a felony drug offense. The Department will verify through a background check with the Michigan State Police that the designated caregiver has no disqualifying felony drug conviction. A caregiver may receive reasonable compensation for services provided to assist with a qualifying patient's medical use of marihuana.
