SixfromCC I have to say that I seem to always agree with what you say, although on this topic I have to disagree. I have read the law, spoken with the Joanne from RIPAC in addition to a lawyer and the way the law reads does not mention any thing about "household". Each caregiver and patient living on a property are allowed to grow and have usable limits independently of one another. If you are:

Caregiver of 1 patient: 12 Flowering and 12 seedlings 2.5 ounces of usable meds

Caregiver of 2-5 patients: 24 flowering and 12 seedlings 5 ounces of usable meds

Patient: 12 flowering and 12 seedlings 2.5 ounces of usable

So that means as a caregiver of one patient each (you and your wife) you are in fact legally allowed to grow 24 flowering and 24 seedlings on your property together and have 5 ounces of usable meds available to your patients. To take this one step further, an individual can be a patient and caregiver, and under the law this person can have 12 and 12 plus 2.5 usable as a patient in addition to the legal caregiver numbers. The only time a "household" or single property come into play is when the number of plants exceeds 100. The Feds can become involved at this point. Which if you do the math is possible for a husband and wife couple whom in the rare case both happen to be patients and caregivers of more than 2 patients.

All that being said there are a number of problems that can arise for all parties that participate in a Coop. From my understanding, the case involving the Coop sixfromCC mentions is facing two problems: 1) more than 100 plants were on the property 2) not all of the legal members who "had plants on the property" claimed them (maybe they had grows else where?).

If you trust the person and you don't have more than 100 plants on the property than you are all good.
futureboy Reviewed by futureboy on . cardholders living together I am a caregiver for 3 people, I am allowed to have 24 mature plants here in ri as far as i know. I am considering letting one of my patients live at my house, of course with him comes his 12 plants. So I am wondering, is this legal? Are we opening ourselves up for trouble even if we are both seemingly "Legal"? The issue is whether or not two people can have their cards in the same home. ANY information, experiences or anything to do with this issue would be a great help. I just cant be Rating: 5
