as far as having to be/do more for a patient then what does that mean?how much more care are they talking about besides supplying the meds to them?cook them dinner,bathe them?many people that have a card are'nt on there death bed infact far from it so what extra care do they need?
I think the key word in the caregiver definition is "debilitating", which I think some people think means bed-ridden - which in that case would be a severe debilitation - however, it is a pretty general term indicating depleted strength...but only as it pertains to certain debilitating conditions as defined by the State. Helping someone improve their quality of life beyond supplying medicine could be almost anything depending upon the person. As far as I am concerned, once my doc gives me pills for whatever ails me, I am good. I don't need any more care, except from my family.


I've been very interested in this case, and from what I understand, Clendinin didn't have even 1 patient listing her as a caregiver or her own red card. She in no way, for any number of plants, was legal. She didn't have anything going for her except that she had sold to a real dispensary.
Ms. Clendenin apparently suffered from migraines and probably was a registered patient. If she had some kind of personal contact/interaction with the patients who received her meds through a dispensary, maybe she could have established an affirmative defense as a caregiver...?

This brings me back to my original concern regarding dispensaries and growers. I am thinking if the dispensaries were able to arrange some kind of meeting between the growers and the dispensary's patients (something like a meet and greet) then that would certainly help show personal contact as well as doing more...
