Moving and Becoming a Caregiver

I have been seriously considering relocating and becoming a caregiver as a living in Montana. I am young, have a green thumb and looking for a career I can start myself. I'm just wondering if it's wise to leave everything and start with little.

I would have to say, that's def a huge decision to make. Would def take some big balls to do. But, if you can grow great product (def don't underestimate the quality of what is already there), and have good business sense.... I can say I know a man who did just what you're talking about. Moved from virginia to montana with practically nothing, took his ideas to an investor, got his license, and now has a very successful business with several employees.
However... it's my understanding that legislation will be rewritten very shortly in that state. So before you up and decide to do it, the very best advice i can give you is to talk to some kind of business lawyer that understands montana's medical situation (if you have a hard time finding someone, perhaps NORML could point you in the right direction).
good luck

You're young, go for it..

go to arizona man. truthfully about 2 years late on the rush here. i want to move their and get in on the big rush again

Dont listen to austin, there is MUCH room for good growers in montana still. If you care about what you do, and you have at least 2-3000 to invest in a spot to grow and equipment, go for it. I started with nothing more then 1 400W HPS light and i currently am doing quite well. Gluck to you and remember one step at a time and plan before u plant.

hey scrogger have you read the new proposals to the law? Not the 4 page amendment to the law-the 50+page explanation of how the proposals will work. you should read it.

i agree there is much room for good growers in mt still.

I'm actually considering doing the same thing. I dont completely understand how i would go about making a big buisness out of it tho, because of the restrictions on how many plants you can have growing. is there a way to get around the amount of plant restriction legally?

"Seven new small businesses have reached the 100-patient mark in that time. These are legal small businesses which benefit their local economies by hiring employees, paying payroll and workers’ compensation taxes, spending money on rent and utilities, buying advertising, engaging the services of accountants and lawyers, and so on. And money spent in a local economy is “recycled”, as the funds paid out to employees and service providers results in a widening network of families buying groceries, paying for housing, and so on."

That is taken from the 2011 Montana MMJ Statistics page on NORMLS site. Now what i'm really wondering is, if these legal small businesses are doing this and paying all these employees and lawyers, how in the world are they making any money?

You have to be a resident for 1 year to be a caregiver here. 6 plant limit, BTW it might get repealed. Bad fight coming.

The entire medical marijuana bill is threatened to be repealed in montana???

Yep. Thank the LDS Church. Fucking Mormons. Hope Gov. Schweitzer will veto it.

This is the insanity I'm facing.

This is splinter of the LDS Church. This Cherrie Brady is pure evil.
Brady said school officials have told her privately that there's so much excess medical marijuana in Montana that kids are selling it all over schools and that some kids are prostituting themselves to obtain it.

She lies left and right.

Im in the mormon capital of the world !! all you have to do is figure out how the mormons can get 10 % of your crop then they will be on board to legalize !!
But seriously the Mormons need to stay the fuck out of govt..what happened to seprating church and state ??
you think it sucks in Montana try living in UT.I live right across the road from a mormon church and every sunday i sit out on the porch drink beer and play loud Jimmy Buffett Music just to piss em off !
My 8 year old son has had friends whos parents would not let my child play with them once they found out we are not members of their club....Its seriously fucked up !!

I'm 54 years young...a mormon...and grow for my disabled wife. Please don't tar all of us with the same brush.

If you are actively in the LDS church & grow, they consider you headed for Hell. It matters ZERO why and for who. Sorry you feel painted with tar. You are sure in a hard spot. Help your wife, or appease your Bishop.

Being raised in the lds religion i say suport your wife and forget about your bishop and mormon religion all together...truth be told the mormons dont really care about you or your wife they just want your 10 %....True story i have a friend who has not been active in the church for several years and now he has an 8 year old who wants to be baptised into the lds church by her father, so my friend starts doing what he needs to do so he can have the credentials too baptize his daughter (talking with the missionaries and bishops and whomever and becoming active again) well he has been doing this for a while now and he asks the bishop when he can baptize his daughter...the bishops reply was you can not do it until you become a full tithe payer (a full tithe payer pays 10% of your gross income) these people are barely scraping by without giving away 10% . That tells me they are all about money and not really in it to help people !

Vote here show some support!!
