When can a caregiver officially start growing for their patients?

Yep day 21 and away ya go. Just keep the paperwork on file if ya need to show it to leo or something. Proof of mailing is helpful too but not 100% needed. Just shows ya went the extra mile to be legal and helps in any court case if ya get busted for nothing.
 
It's from the Law. If after 20 days of sending your papers to the state you don't receive a denial or a card then your documents are considered your card and you are all legal.
 
I didn't know if that applied to the caregiver too. IE leo catches my patient after 20 days and its all legit, but they come to my house and see 12 plants and BAM they bust me on some technicality. I assumed the documents that are legal for her after 20 days would also apply to the caregiver making it legal, but I want to be 100% sure.

We can't ASSUME anything! The 20 days applies to those that have applied for a MMJ card not Caregivers status.
 
Problem is that there is no way of verifying the paperwork.

If you are comfortable with that then grow, if not don't.
 
There's exactly as much to verify my own paperwork, so if I can posess for myself I would think it would be the same risk to carry for another patient. It seems like even with no way for them to call in and verify like with a plastic card that it should still be just as legal as stated in the law:

(b) If the department fails to issue a valid registry identification card in response to a valid application or renewal submitted pursuant to this act within 20 days of its submission, the registry identification card shall be deemed granted, and a copy of the registry identification application or renewal shall be deemed a valid registry identification card.

How could they do anything if my paperwork is deemed "a valid registry identification card"?

(c) The department shall verify the information contained in an application or renewal submitted pursuant to this section, and shall approve or deny an application or renewal within 15 days of receiving it. The department may deny an application or renewal only if the applicant did not provide the information required pursuant to this section, or if the department determines that the information provided was falsified. Rejection of an application or renewal is considered a final department action, subject to judicial review. Jurisdiction and venue for judicial review are vested in the circuit court for the county of Ingham.
(d) The department shall issue a registry identification card to the primary caregiver, if any, who is named in a qualifying patient's approved application; provided that each qualifying patient can have no more than 1 primary caregiver, and a primary caregiver may assist no more than 5 qualifying patients with their medical use of marihuana.
(e) The department shall issue registry identification cards within 5 days of approving an application or renewal, which shall expire 1 year after the date of issuance.

It sounds like it applies to caregivers cards as well as patients cards:

(i) "Registry identification card" means a document issued by the department that identifies a person as a registered qualifying patient or registered primary caregiver.

verifying the paperwork is thier problem not yours. You just have to have the paperwork...................................

If "supposed to" means he legally has to because it's written black and white in the law then maybe.
