summary
This amendment adds to the bill by further specifying that a qualifying patient who is an incapacitated adult may not cultivate marijuana for that patient's use unless the patient’s legal guardian or person to whom the patient has granted power of attorney for health care decisions is designated as the patient’s primary caregiver. That primary caregiver may assist the qualifying patient with cultivation of the patient’s own marijuana if the marijuana plants that are dedicated to the patient are segregated from any other marijuana plants. Additionally, this amendment prohibits a public guardian or conservator described under the Maine Revised Statutes, Title 18-A, section 5-601 from cultivating marijuana for a qualifying patient who is an incapacitated adult, but that guardian or conservator may designate a 2nd primary caregiver to assist that patient with cultivation if the marijuana plants that are dedicated to the patient are segregated from any other marijuana plants.
