Wife and I are getting cards, some questions.

Hello,

The wife and I are looking into getting cards in the near future.

If I am not mistaken I can grow my own medicine and have up to 12 plants. But how does it work if 2 people are married and live together and both have a card? Is she also allowed 12 plants, making for a total of 24 in the home? Would we have to keep them separate?

If It does not allow us to each have 12 plants, then do I need to be listed as her caregiver to supply her medicine?

When you grow your own medicine with 12 plants and then have a patient declare you as a caregiver, does this allow you to have more plants?

Thanks for any help!!

A caregiver can have 5 patients beside their self. A caregiver who has a card personally and five other patients is allowed up to 72 plants and 15 ounces of medicine.

So each additional patient that lists me as a caregiver allows me an additional 12 plants? I don't need to provide a patient medicine from my original 12 plants that my personal medical card allows me?

Do yourselves both a favor and assign each other as each others' caregiver. The benefit is substantial. You can both then possess 2.5 oz each and another 2.5 for your "patient"', for a total of 10 zips.

Well it'd be mighty nice of you to donate some to your patient(s), but your not legally bound to outside any agreement that you may strike up with your patients.

You have two options. If neither of you assign the other as a caregiver, then you would both be responsible for your own plants and would have to have separate, fully enclosed, locked rooms to grow in. If for example your wife assigns you as her caregiver, then you could grow your 12 + her 12 in the same room

Stow raises a good point here, but was the law actually amended or is this just opine? Also it's worth mentioning that most LEO would view the arrangement that Greg mentions, as highly manipulative and might just want start to violating you guilty or not. Further more if you do decide to do the dual caregivers, it'd be highly recommend to stay well away from a plant count over 99. Personally I wouldn't go past what an individual caregiver is allowed.

i see no legitimate argument that it is not legal. It is plain enough in the law that it does not require anything more than simple math. It has not up in court in almost six years.

I see nothing manipulative about it. The law is clear. We are entitled to possess our own and for our patient(s) as their caregivers. Do you see something that would indicate otherwise?

No, nothing at all. I just know from my personal experience that the majority law enforcement doesn't care for the law at all. They aren't suppose to pick and choose which laws they want to enforce, just like citizens aren't suppose to pick and choose which laws they want to follow. Free the Cannabis! That's how I feel. I just think people need to be careful. At the same time they should be aware that people have been denied the right to mount a legal defense using the medical law in some cases.

Thanks for the reply guys. I think that pretty much answers my questions. Just making sure I stay 100% within the law

I wasnt trying to say I wanted to be stingy with medicine. Just trying to understand how many plants I was allowed under the law

But while I have you guys here.......
How does a caregiver/patient relationship work? How much are people charging for medicine as opposed to dispensary type pricing??

Justice is blind only in theory brother. In reality police officer and prosecutor discretion are paramount to our "justice system". Life isn't fair and there is truly no equality under our law ;)

Discretion: Freedom to act or judge on one's own.

Well yeah, They are problematic. I saw a video of a police station that was burned to the ground in Mexico a couple of days ago. Uprisings against the police are nothing new. Would you like to play a game? Liberte, egalite, fraternite you know. Happy endings all around.
