If you had previously registered someone as your caregiver, that's still valid. Next time they renew, they'll simply have the option of having a caregiver that grows for them AND growing for themselves. If they want that right now, arguably they need to fill out a change of caregiver/center form. I've also heard that you can grow and have a caregiver with an affirmative defense, but that's become somewhat irrelevant.
Releaf, I agree with you there, but the statement that is posted on FB that says " you must submit a new caregiver form asap to be considered a valid patient" is bogus as I see it. I have not read that anywhere and I think that is information that is misleading to many patients in order to get them to designate a Center as their caregiver. I thought NORML chapters would be more informed thannthat. If I am wrong than I apologize, but I still have not read this " requirement " anywhere and I feel it is a ruse to get patients under the umbrella of a MMC, while that is fine, patients sure have that choice, the post makes it sound as if it is required, and that my friend does not appear to be the truth.
Colodonmed Reviewed by Colodonmed on . What the hell is this? as of August 1st, if you are a medical marijuana patient and you have a personal caregiver and it is not a medical marijuana center, then you must submit a new "Change of Caregiver" form and it needs to be done by ASAP to be considered a valid patient, so this weekend, Sunday August 1, 2010, Mile High NORML and Colorad...o NORML are hosting a ā??Find a Primary Medical Marijuana Centerā? party.
