A grower can be a non-registered or voluntary registered patient, a primary caregiver, or a registered dispensary designated as an option by a qualifying registered patient to grow or cultivate marijuana for medical use. A grower can grow up to six marijuana plants per patient. A grower who is to cultivate marijuana under the law may possess an allowable use of marijuana and an incidental amount of marijuana for each registered qualifying patient that is served. When calculating the usable amount of medicinal marijuana, the incidental amount of marijuana will not be included. A grower may receive reasonable pay for assisting with the cultivation of medicinal marijuana for a qualifying patient.
