That's good to know. Sounds like a good reason for a PO Box if you're going to be a caretaker.

What ever address is used on the form is the ONLY address that the caregiver is legal to grow at.

Wow, that kind of sucks for the caregiver. I guess you want to be picky as hell about who you take on.

Also That Caregiver MUST be on the lease..They are now also asking for proof of residence..Copy of ID with that address on it or lease agreement
Your 100% possitive about only growing at the address on the application? Does address have to match your home address on liscence? Where did you get this info?
Not doubting you as you seem to be pretty sure about it but i know a TON of people in ri that are doing things at different places than whats listed on the application. Having your name on a lease does make sence though but you can rent out a property and not live there.

Yes a patient and caregiver are only safe to grow at their registered address...You dont have to live at the location,but you must be on the lease as of now..New amendments went into effect over the past 6 months.Then A ton of people are doing it wrong.
Ouch... sucks. Its pretty good size ops too. Oh well not my problem. Thanks for sharing that... so you can grow anywhere as long as you have proof that your in that property(lease or if living then on id) and as long as its the same address on the app. When you fill it out.
Also sucks that anytime they want to check in on your they know where to check in and search...

The Department Of Health(DOH) NEVER will come CHECK your grow..NO one regulates..IF the cops come ask for a warrant.STAY WITH IN YOUR LIMITS.

Speaking of limits. I have a few questions. From what I read the limits are 12 in veg and 12 in flower. If you only flower 5 can you have 19 in veg? The law also states an additional 12 seedlings are allowed is this in addition to the 12 flower and 12 veg or considered as "in veg" even thought they are technically seedlings for 3 or 4 weeks. Also are clones considered "in veg" or are they considered seedlings until they hit the pot"? Any input is appreciated! 
Just trying to stay within my limit!

1) I saw no mention in the law (or the subsequent amendments) for 'seedlings.' Please provide an actual citation for that.
2) You can have 24 veg, or anything up to a maximum of 12/12. Never have more than 12 flowering at one time.
3) In the absence of anything referring to 'seedlings,' a clone is considered a plant in veg.

The reference is the second link you posted on page one. Look at subsections 1.16 page 2 and 2.8.4 on page 4. http://sos.ri.gov/documents/archives/regdocs/released/pdf/DOH/5923.pdf. May be old, I think the document has a date of 2006.
1.16 "Seedling" means a marijuana plant with no observable flowers or buds.
2.8.1 A registered primary caregiver may possesses an amount of marijuana which does not exceed twelve (12) mature marijuana plants and two and one-half (2.5) ounces of usable marijuana for each qualifying patient to whom he or she is connected through the Department's registration process established pursuant to these Regulations.
2.8.2 Notwithstanding the provisions of §2.8.1 of these Regulations, no primary caregiver other than a compassion center shall possess an amount of marijuana in excess of twenty-four (24) mature marijuana plants and five (5) ounces of usable marijuana for qualifying patients to whom he or she is connected through the Department's registration process established pursuant to these Regulations.
2.8.3 A registered qualifying patient may possesses an amount of marijuana which does not exceed twelve (12) mature marijuana plants and two and one-half (2.5) ounces of usable marijuana.
2.8.4 Registered primary caregivers and registered qualifying patients shall be allowed to possess a reasonable amount of unusable marijuana, including up to twelve (12) seedlings, which shall not be counted toward the limits established in §§2.8.1 and 2.8.3 of these Regulations.
Your allowed 12 / 12 per patient if your a caregiver... but your maximum allowed no matter how many patients is 24 mature (flower) and 12 seedling (veg)
2.8.4 Registered primary caregivers and registered qualifying patients shall be allowed to possess a reasonable amount of unusable marijuana, including up to twelve (12) seedlings, which shall not be counted toward the limits established in §§2.8.1 and 2.8.3 of these Regulations.
Says right there your allowed to possess a reasonable amount unusable marijuana including up to 12 seedlings(veg)... clones are not veg and do not count towards your 24flower and 12 veg your allowed.(only 24 flower if multiple patients for caregiver, patient growing is 12/12 max)
Nowhere can you have 24 veg. Unless you were saying your allowed 12 clones and 12 veg which is the 24 veg you were saying but i know someone who was arrested and had 12 veg and 24 flower like law says and they arrested him cause he had clones in cloner as well... charges were dropped cause the clones werent part of his 12 veg.

That's the way I interpreted the law.
Sucks that you need to go through the hassle of getting arrested because there is So much grey area and LEO's are unfamiliar with the program or what is in veg or a seedling or a clone. We all need to make sure we carry the contact info. of a reliable attorney that is familiar with the law. To me 12 plants in flower is not a problem but the 12 veg cuts it kinda tight.
It's actually hard to stay within the veg limit for me. I want to start more seeds but am afraid that they will be considered "in veg" when I consider it a seedling that won't be "in veg" for a few more weeks. I have a single 4x4 tent with 4 to 7 plants "in flower". Just to maintain those two or three genetics in clone and veg are enough to push me over the limit with a perpetual grow. Thanks for the info.

Thanks for the seedling reference, I missed that in my reading completely. It certainly will make my numbers easier to deal with.

Veg is any plant with roots and NO signs of budding.12 max no matter what.So seedlings and rooted clones so if u have 12 in veg and a full cloner once those cutts have roots they are now plants.
It does have loop holes sort of speak but that doesnt hold them back from making the arrest. Which is court fees/ lawyer fees/ time in the aci/ loss of funds and loss of alive plants which will be dead when you get them.
Dont they know that 5oz max is such a small amount to last for 5 patients when quickest harvest is about 2 months apart. 5oz wont last 5 patients for 2 months at all. So dumb. It take longer than 2 months when your cuttings can only have roots to start your veg cause counted towards your 12 veg count.
