Looking to be a caregiver, need a patient!

Im not too familiar with the law in RI, but as far as i know, you just need a referral of some kind by a patient in order to be a caregiver. I am to move to RI soon and would like to know how to go about this.

Also, i was wondering how much money a caregiver typically receives for this, per ounce(or gram?)

You GIVE it to your patients..... It costs nothing to them, or VERY minimal.... You are supposed to be caring for them..... Hence the term Caregiver...
 
You and your patient would need to work out some kind of arrangement. I personally gave mine the first 2oz of my first batch at no cost. Then require donation of 100+ for subsequent zips up to 2-3 a month. You can easily find other patients/caregivers with cards who would donate 250-300 each. Growing isn't cheap or easy if you don't want to do a half-ass job. I'm already in it for over 5k.
