I have tried to look in the laws but can not find if/where it says who may or may not assist in the actual growing.
Since I am disabled, I find certain tasks to be very hard or impossible. I have people that will assist me in my daily needs, and they are willing to help with the grow as well.
But I need to know what the law says about my child (still a minor) assisting in the grow area. There is also an non-related adult who may be willing to assist, would that be a problem?
Thanks!
you should consult your attorney.
An obvious answer would be to assign the adult as your caregiver. That way, he would be protected by Amendment 20.

Use the help of the adult
And make sure that the minor does not have access to the area ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE LOCKED GROW ROOM door.Quote:

+1 on talk to an attorney. They will probably tell you it's a bad idea to involve the minor.
Not so sure the other adults can even help if they are not designated caregiver for you... they could be illegally in possession.
My limited understanding of the mess we are in;
Minor children near grows/helping with growing is a BIG no-no. In the end it is best that they don't even know it is there and they don't see you medicating/etc.
You >definitely< need to set up a lockable room with children present in the home.
Anyone who >>touches<< your grow needs to be carded. If they are a patient they can partake of the herb from the garden with you. If they are merely a caregiver for you and are not a patient they could get in deep shit if they are found to have THC in their system.
good luck going forward

How would the government know whether a particular individual has or does not have THC in their system? And, even if they did know, what crime would that entail? Does the same government department in charge of chem trails, vaccination conspiracies and keeping Obama's birth certificate secret administer this secret caregiver drug testing program?Quote:

LOL, HP. I personally think they will deploy the Brain Police on matters such as this. :stoned:
I doubt, like you, that such a clause can/will be enforced, but it is there (for >some< reason) just the same. In addition, "illegal use/intoxication" is covered under many other statuates in CO law. In a similar fashion, 1284 doesn't say much about minors in the growroom because the Child Abuse laws cover such issues elsewhere within the laws of the State.
FWIW
(b) A PATIENT OR PRIMARY CAREGIVER SHALL NOT:
(VII) USE MEDICAL MARIJUANA IF THE PERSON DOES NOT HAVE A
DEBILITATING MEDICAL CONDITION AS DIAGNOSED BY THE PERSON'S
PHYSICIAN IN THE COURSE OF A BONA FIDE PHYSICIAN-PATIENT
RELATIONSHIP AND FOR WHICH THE PHYSICIAN HAS RECOMMENDED THE USE
OF MEDICAL MARIJUANA
A caregiver can no longer also have a caregiver.Quote:

Recommend setting the unrelated adult as your caregiver. They won't be able to medicate but will be able to legally assist with your grow and/or obtain cannabis for you.
goin from memory here. You really do need to contact a lawyer on these issues for clarification of your specific rights.Quote:

A minor over 16 can be issued a card if they have a qualifying condition, their parents permission, and 2 doctors make the recommendation. They can't get a card to caregive/help you grow.
1284 says this about caregiving:
(c) A PATIENT WHO HAS DESIGNATED A PRIMARY CAREGIVER FOR
HIMSELF OR HERSELF MAY NOT BE DESIGNATED AS A PRIMARY CAREGIVER
FOR ANOTHER PATIENT
