A caregiver can assist you with the use of medical cannabis as well as purchase cannabis for you. A caregiver must have a valid caregiver card in order to purchase on behalf of a medical cannabis patient with or without the patient present. If you want a caregiver to purchase a cannabis product we recommend designating a caregiver when you first apply for a medical cannabis card.    Once you are registered with the state as a caregiver you can place an order on behalf of your medical patient, and pick up in the dispensary or curbside on behalf of your patient. The caregiver account will be unified through the patient’s medical card number.
