PA Caregivers Program
What is a Caregiver?
A caregiver is someone who holds a Medical Marijuana ID card in place of a patient in the program & purchases/delivers medicine on the patient’s behalf.
Who can be a Caregiver?
Anyone 21+ can become a
caregiver for a patient with the registration and purchase of
a Medical Marijuana Card.
Common Reasons for a Caregiver
18 and Under Patients
Patients aged 18 or younger are not able to enter or purchase from PA dispensaries. If a patient is under 18 and has registered to be apart of the program, a designated caregiver must register and pickup/deliver their medicine.
Limiting Disabilities
Some patients have physical limitations in terms of transportation and mobility. In this instance, a designated caregiver is registered to pick up and deliver the patient’s medicine.
Schedule/Accessibility
Not all patients are local or have an ample amount of time to travel to a dispensary of choice. A caregiver can assist in getting the patient medication more regularly if they are closer/have a more open schedule.
