My questions are as follows:
1. Really how legit is this? I have my card, my wife has her card and both for debilitating dieseases.
At a federal level it is still illegal. You have to understand that first. At the state level it is completely legit. Unlike most med states where MMJ was passed into law, in CO it was written as an amendment to the Constitution. That is the supreme law of the land.
2. How would I claim this income for taxes and shit?
This is the real question surrounding caregivers. The law states that caregivers can only charge enough to cover expenses. Caregivers can maybe chime in here on the ins and outs of how they work it.
3. At what point do I need to get an inspector to check out my plants and everything.
As a private caregiver nothing is ever inspected. Law Enforcement is likely the only officials to visit. If your paperwork is in order, they should walk.
4. What level of security is required by law for this kind of setup (under 30 plants)?
None. Just whatever you deem necessary for yourself. Understand that firearms at a grow location are a very bad idea.
5. Is there anything I am overlooking?
Probably a lot... :)
Cheers
That is correct that it is still federally illegal to do this but is it not correct that the federal government is not going to go after anyone under 99 plants? Has the Obama Administration not said that it is up to the states to decide on their medical marijuana status?

Just remember, to those against MMJ, you will still be a 'Drug Dealer'.Anyways, this on its own could pay more than my current salary probably almost double. So I am beginning to think about switching careers into private caregiving more and more recently but am left with several hurdles.
Regardless of anyone's comments, if you and your wife have your cards you guys can grow 12 plants, and there's not a county or municipality in this state that would give a rats ass.... 12 plants isn't even worth prosecuting, especially given that you and your wife are sick. There'd probably be a line of lawyers wanting the case so they could get the publicity. My suggestion is to learn to grow for yourself before you start a career as a caregiver for others. Maybe you won't like the job, or it's more work than you realized.
But, you have a right to try! :)
Like big screen t.v.s, blunts, 40s and bitches!
What makes you assume you can earn double what you're making now as a caregiver?
Remember, you can only legally provide medicine to your 5 primary patients who have signed you as their caregiver. How much do you think they could smoke each month? The average price per oz is 200. Do the math. With the 5 patient restriction it is virtually impossible to make a living solely from caregiving without breaking the law and selling on the black market. If you want to be 100% legit, then caregiving is just a side gig/hobby/project at this point. Don't quit your day job.
i grow because i like to grow and smoke..i could care less if i get stuck with a few zips of dank cause i grow my own and smoke what i grow_ i never have been and never will be in it for the money!
