Having trouble finding clear answer. A friend wants to grow. He is a felon. But a patient. Can he grow his own 12 or does that make him his own caregiver and not be able to grow? Thanks in advance everybody.
Can a felon grow their own 12?

It looks like he can grow, but not be a caregiver
You can grow your own (up to 12 plants) or designate a caregiver.
Michigan law provides for a system of designated caregivers. The caregiver can acquire 2.5 ounces of usable marijuana and grow up to 12 marijuana plants for a qualifying patient. The caregiver may assist up to 5 patients. The caregiver must sign a statement agreeing to provide marijuana 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 marijuana.

Right that's what I thought. Why on his patient card does he have possession of his plants? He never designated a caregiver when registering.

Yes he can be a patient and grow his own 12 period. That does not make him a caregiver in any way shape or form. He will not be his own caregiver but simply a patient that grows his own. Depending on his felony and when it was will depend on if he can ever be a caregiver. Strong suggestion have you friend read read read and read the law and all the rules.

The short answer is that he can grow his own, but cannot grow as a caregiver to any other person if said felony involves illegal drugs or assaultive crimes.
Sec. 3(h): "Primary caregiver" or "caregiver" means a person who is at least 21 years old and who has agreed to assist with a patient's medical use of marihuana and who has not been convicted of any felony within the past 10 years and has never been convicted of a felony involving illegal drugs or a felony that is an assaultive crime as defined in section 9a of chapter X of the code of criminal procedure, 1927 PA 175, MCL 770.9a.

Bro had a felony assault when he was 17 and got it removed recently at 32. Never had any other crimes added as he cleaned up his life and went to college. We got him a lawyer and had the felony expunged, cost him about 350 but now he has a clean record. If said person has a minor felony like stealing, or fist fight kinda crap like my bro he can get it expunged as long as he doesn't have an extensive record or a felony that involved death.

yeah they passed a new law but I think its for only 1 felony and many crimes besides murder are not possible to hide---its not removed but hidden, law enforcement can still see it but not employers or landlords
Still its worthwhile to do it if U can
I don't know about that no felony firearm laws were people convicted of a felony can not poss. a firearm, likely that doesn't get removed--like I said, it stays on your record still, its just hidden from most people who look

Just putting it out there
Growing 12
will make it difficult to remain in his 2.5 ounce possession limit on dried meds
Cops love to ruin his fun

It's in the caregiver attestation forms....

Yep thats why he did, for college and now job. The new law states that if you have a minor felony and misdemeanors you can still get the felony removed where as a year or two ago if you had anything else even a misdemeanor you couldn't get it removed.
