What is a medical marijuana caregiver license?

A medical marijuana caregiver license allows someone designated by a patient – or a minor patient’s parent(s) or legal guardian(s) – to help the patient buy, grow, apply, and/or administer medical marijuana.

This license is in the form of an identification card to prove someone is a license holder. The card contains the caregiver’s name, photo, date of birth, city and county of residence, the type of license, expiration date, the caregiver’s unique medical marijuana license number, and the patient’s unique medical marijuana license number.

How long does a caregiver license last?

Caregiver licenses are valid up to the expiration date of the associated patient’s license, not to exceed two years. The patient also has the right to withdraw his or her designated caregiver at any time, and physicians may terminate a patient’s license. A caregiver license is invalidated if all of the patient licenses associated with it are terminated.
