which patient to kick to the curb?
I provide an oz a month free to my patients as well as some free edibles and heavy discounts for additional meds. My wife and I are both patients as well.
Now, if this new legislation goes into effect, can someone tell me how this will work?
I have 7 patients. Obviously, at least 2 will have to go. the way I count now, I am growing for 9 - myself, my wife, and 7 others.
If my wife is not a caregiver, and I am, can we still grow her plants with mine and the ones we'll be growing for the other 5?
And how will you decide who to keep? seniority or need? - ie keep my first patient or keep my poorest or sickest?
and, fyi, I have not ever broken even on my costs. I don't care about making $$.
I really don't understand why a bill to regulate dispensaries should be effecting existing caregiver relationships.

This is how this bill will hurt patients. Not only will caregivers have to drop the patients that dont use much but the days of offering free meds every month or whatever will end. Right now it is a buyers market and caregivers are bending over backwards to get patients, once everyone is limited to 5 things will turn around 180 degrees.
As far as growing for your wife I think you would have to include her as one of your 5 patients.

I am in the same situation. To the best of my knowledge HB10-1284 doesn't state that a patient can no longer grow their own meds. It does state that, "TWO OR MORE PRIMARY CAREGIVERS SHALL NOT JOIN
TOGETHER FOR THE PURPOSE OF CULTIVATING MEDICAL MARIJUANA."
Your wife is not a Caregiver and I'm assuming she has not given that away to you formally.
Heck, I'm still confused about being able to deliver meds to my patients. I think this bill squashes that for some reason too.

they way i understood it (could be wrong) is that if you and your wife are in the same household and are both licensed you would only get your six regardless. you would share your six.
this whole bill is about returning to the street market. i would imagine jail/prison stocks are going to shit so now its time to use bully tactics to get results.
gov listen...ASK NOT WHAT THE PEOPLE CAN DO FOR YOU, ASK YOURSELF WHAT YOU CAN DO FOR THE PEOPLE.

Isn't it funny how we all interpret things differently. I'm all ears for different interpretations because I "know" I'm not right all the time.
My interpretation would be that each patient can grow 6 plants and possess 2oz.
Nothing in Amendment 20 mentions if 2 patients live together they have to share 6 plants.
HB10-1284 specifically states that a Center can grow 6 plants for each patient.
Just my take. I'm here to learn!

My interpretation would be that as long as you guys are only patients and not primary caregivers for anyone than you both could grow your 6. As long as you are not providing the medicine to anyone else. Also it seems that it would be illegal for your wife to allow you to smoke her meds (what a joke), unless she became your caregiver and then you couldn't grow any plants at all.
FOR THE PURPOSE OF CULTIVATING MEDICAL MARIJUANA.
27 (c) ONLY A MEDICAL MARIJUANA CENTER OR A PRIMARY
-35- HB10-1284
1 CAREGIVER FOR HIS OR HER PATIENTS OR A PATIENT FOR HIMSELF OR
2 HERSELF MAY CULTIVATE OR PROVIDE MARIJUANA AND ONLY FOR
3 MEDICAL USE; EXCEPT THAT, IF A PRIMARY CAREGIVER IS PROVIDING
4 MEDICAL MARIJUANA TO A PATIENT, THE PATIENT MAY NOT CULTIVATE
5 AND PROVIDE HIS OR HER OWN MEDICAL MARIJUANA.

This part of the bill is very confusing. My family has 5 patients atm. My husband and myself (I am his caregiver) my son (he is my caregiver) my daughter and her husband. Now hubby and I live together and my daughter and her husband live together. If I read this correctly we will not be able to "pool our resources" to grow.
I guess we will wait to see how this pans out, but atleast we would be under the 30 plant count. Wondering what is the best way to set up caregivers so we can maximize our time space and money.

You are not in this for the money. I would keep the poorest and sickest. I would pick my most able bodied and smartest and mentor them. Teach them everything you can. Help them with starts and clones. Keep an eye on their grow and step in if necessary.
Start soon. If the law says you must kick two out of the boat, at least teach them to swim.
