Caregivers: How it works?

So I thought I'd throw this question out there for all speculative caregivers:

How do caregiver contracts work? Obviously the patient gives over their right to x amount of plants (depending on the state) to be grown under the caregiver's discretion. But from there, how's it all work? When the caregiver harvests, does he sell the medicine to his patients? Does the patient pay the caregiver before harvest for a certain percentage of harvested dry weight? Does a price for the product have to be set before the patient signs over their plants to the caregiver?

This is all for California:

Selling of marijuana is illegal (even to legal dispensaries).

To be completely legal you must be a caregiver with a caregiver license. The person you give care to must live within your county and must require care. You must also provide care for them at least one hour a week. A caregiver is a person that provides care and is able to legally procure/administer medications to a patient. If you are the caregiver of a medical marijuana patient you are able to grow his/hers allotted amount of marijuana that is to be given to the patient. You are allowed to ask the patient for reimbursement of charges incurred while growing the marijuana but are not legally allowed to ever sell any of the marijuana for profit.

If you want to legally grow a large amount of marijuana you should move to a county with high limits like Oakland or Santa Cruz. Even with a 99 plant limit you are not legally allowed to posses over 2lbs and must document all harvests. Again you are not legally allowed to sell the marijuana.

While you are growing the plants it is legal. Once the plants have dried you are illegal (if over 2lbs or the county limit). Traveling on highways and interstates is illegal with any amount over what you would medically need for your trip. So the curing/getting it to the club is currently always illegal (unless you are a club owner). Once it is out of your possesion though you are in the clear as long as you find some interesting way to pay taxes on your cash.

Just incase you are curious - dispensaries can't legally sell pot either. They either charge for a service + reimbursement or ask for a donation.

Interesting. So this is the case 100% of the time in California?

I like the idea of asking for reimbursement of costs, rather than just high-balling the shit out of people. Interesting. Anyone else from other states want to chime in?
