Caregivers help medicinal marijuana patients (including minors) who cannot or do not want to go to a dispensary to buy their medicine. Patients may designate caregivers who must be 21 or older and registered with the state. A caregiver may buy medicinal marijuana for a patient and assist in administering it. The Compassionate Care Act states that MMJ patients can have caregivers. However, such individuals must be 21+ unless they are the parent/legal guardian of the qualifying patient. MMJ patients may name a maximum of two caregivers. Once approved, caregivers will receive a registry ID card.
