Many speak of low cost to patients...until dispensaries are open patients have to kind of wing it. Just keep in my what you want from a caregiver and expectations before you register them. As far as costs....it really depends on the specific caregivers approach and understanding of the process. There are roughly several catagories from what I have seen so far. You have personal caregivers (ie. personal friend or family member) whom has the trust relationship and someone who you know and knows you. Then there is the caregiver whom one finds that has a scheduled grow and will work you in as a patient but nature dictates availablity. Lastly you have caregiver services which allow a patient legal access to meds without the wait period and grow time of beginning anew. Utilizing both caregiver slots a patient should be able to balance their medicinal needs. Good luck to you...there are many really good people in these forums who can be helpful along the way..
