It sounds good so long as you have a patient for every 12 plants and a maximum of 5 patients per caregiver, plus themselves(if they are also patients), but you might want to read this: http://www.lansingstatejournal.com/article/20101204/NEWS01/312030025/DEA-raids-Okemos-warehouse-in-medical-marijuana-case.

If the feds find out there is a large number of plants in one place, they might raid first and ask questions later...then good luck getting your plants and equipment back. You don't want to paint a bulls-eye on your back.

Really depends on the city as they are the ones setting limits and definitions. example ( and I know this has changed ) Ann Arbor was only going to allow 1 caregiver per home but they changed it, now I believe ( and I'm probably wrong ) they say up to 4 caregivers per home, after that you are considered a collective and need to get permits and such.
As beagle mentioned though, you start getting high plant numbers in one place and the fed isnt going to care if your a patient / caregiver or not since its still federally illegal and anything over 99 plants carries mandatory sentences / fines it is like and easy win / free money for them so take that into consideration and stay safe!

question how would anyone find out that two caregivers are using one household unless they came to your house and looked . On the paperwork it does not ask the plants location it only asks what your address is so I am a bit lost here because i am trying to max out two caregivers in one place so the max in the rooms are 144 plants any ideas or info?

You can co-op but need to have seperate rooms and only access is to each giver. You could have 50 as it would not matter as long as they are kept apart from each other. If each had there own room that's locked then you'd be fine. Let me say this,,,, that's state wise, fed wise anything over 100 plants gets ya a 10 min so be dam careful. Husband and wife would be ok and need not be seperate as long as each is there mates caregiver. With that you'd be helping them help their patients and be covered under current law as I read it.Hope this helps.

You can have a house full of plants with no place to sleep if your plant count total is still within your limits. If you have a landlord, he/she may not want you to at all so that would be the major boundary. You might not get "busted" but more likely evicted if that's the case.

Michigan Department of health has stated that the intention of the law is allow caregivers to work togather, but they warned that having over 99 could get you in trouble with the DEA...really i wouldnt worry about it..its legal here in michigan but not federally just like the rest of the medical marijuana system..if your low key, don't sell, and legitly medical really I dont think theres a whole lot to worry about so long as you stay in state guidelines should your house catch on fire or something.

certain municipalities have also tried to make it illegal but the bottom line is that is not illegal...

MDCH has also stated that the doors to your house having functioning locks constitutes a 'locked facility'


furthermore....Anyone with a medical card is allowed to go in anyones grow room that includes another caregiver to tend to his/her plants.
