“Primary care-giver” means a person, other than the patient and the patient’s physician, who is eighteen years of age or older and has significant responsibility for managing the well-being of a patient who has a debilitating medical condition. If a patient so chooses, they may choose to select one primary caregiver, who may legally grow, posses, and distribute to the patient marijuana as is medically necessary.

There is no restriction to the number of patients which one primary caregiver may serve, as long as the caregiver: 1. Is 18+ years of age; and
2. Has significant responsibility managing the well-being of a patient.

To become a primary caregiver, a patient may either: 1. Name the primary caregiver on their registry application, OR
2. Inform the state registry in writing of their primary caregiver at any time as long as they have a valid registry card.

The caregiver’s name and address will appear on the patient’s registry ID. ”
