Who Can Qualify As A Primary Caregiver In Washington?

The requirements for Washington designated providers (caregivers) are straightforward. They must be at least 21 years old and a resident of the state, which is proven with a valid driver’s license or current state identification card. Additionally, they must be listed on the patient’s medical marijuana authorization form. A designated provider (caregiver) will have their information entered into the medical marijuana database and receive a designated provider recognition card. Both the patient and caregiver each sign copies of the patient’s medical marijuana authorization form, which must contain the same information.

If the patient is under the age of 18, the designated provider (caregiver) must be a parent or legal guardian in addition to the rules stated above. Once approved, a caregiver can both cultivate or purchase medical cannabis on behalf of the patient only. A caregiver is not allowed to consume any medical cannabis prescribed for the patient and may only serve one patient at a time.

Washington MMJ Possession Limits

Medical cardholders in Washington can purchase up to 3 ounces at a time and may possess 48 ounces of solid marijuana-infused products, 3 ounces of useable marijuana, 216 ounces of liquid marijuana-infused products, or 21 grams of marijuana concentrates at home.

Additionally, unless an area is designated as a cooperative garden, then “no more than 15 plants may be grown or located in any one housing unit even if multiple qualifying patients or designated providers reside in the housing unit.” A cooperative allows up to four medical marijuana patients or designated providers to grow together, but they must register with the Washington State Liquor and Cannabis Board and follow the designated laws. These laws include several rules, such as that the cooperative can have a maximum of 60 plants that are only grown in the designated cooperative area and nowhere else.
