I'm moving to Arizona soon and want to start my own small batch grow/hash pressing business at home. I have about a year of experience growing, drying, curing, washing, and pressing rosin, but all of it in my illegal state so I'm not sure if that will matter. I'm just having a hard time sifting through all the laws and figuring out what I need to do next.

It seems like my options are to A) get a dispensary license so I can adda grow facility license to that(not doable right now) or B) become a caregiver, I have 3 people out here that would be future patients

How do I legally become a caregiver? And how do the amounts I'm allowed to keep around work? It seems like I can have 4 plants per patient but only 2.5 oz at a time or something, I can't seem to find a straight answer.

I was also contemplating just grabbing a trimming job to make some money and meet some people in the industry, would this be wise or would I just be wasting time that I could be growing? Any and all help is much appreciated

Edit: Also wondering how the laws work with genetics. Can I use any seeds as long as the final product gets lab tested?
