A registered caregiver is a Vermont resident over the age of 21 who has agreed to undertake responsibility for managing the well-being of up to two registered patients with respect to the use of medical cannabis.
A caregiver can go to the dispensary and receive deliveries for his or her patient and/or assist with cannabis cultivation. You are not required to have a caregiver under the medical program, unless the patient is a minor.
A registered patient may register as a caregiver for up to two other registered patients. A patient may not register as their own caregiver.
Patients under 18 years of age may have two registered caregivers, but are required to have at least one.
