So if we caregive for 5 or less does that mean we have to have the so called background check that is required for caregivers or is that only if you take more than 5 patients?Quote:

Montana does recognize co cards but under their law dispensaries are illegal and patients can only purchase from their designated caregiver, so buying in Montana would be a risk but you can poses, not sure about Rhode Island.Quote:

I have several friends and contacts there and they will not be following Colorado's lead when it comes to state regulations regarding disp.'s as they will never allow them at this point.Quote:

With 1284 caregivers will not be able to take more than 5 patients, and yes it is calling for background checks and fingerprinting for caregivers. Anyone with a felony conviction within the past 5 years will not be able to be a caregiver.Quote:

Now they are re-defining what a "caregiver is" I see they saw that loophole and crushed it with this new amendment being discussed today. They are really out to hurt the patients and growers with a vengeance it seems.
I am watching this happen to us all with amazement. This is my 7th year on the registry and I have been a designated caregiver for 6 of those years. Nobody worried about my felony conviction for possession of Marijuana until suddenly now. Now that big money interests and the State realize the possible revenue that can be generated. And as I suspected they would, they are making a whole new class of criminals for the justice system to cherry pick with this legislation.
