Is Weed Legal In Rhode Island YES

Marijuana is legal in Rhode Island Since May 2022

Rhode Island Gov. Dan McKee signed into law on May 25, 2022, a state legislature bill that legalizes, regulates and taxes cannabis in the state. The law legalizes possession of up to an ounce of cannabis and cultivation of up to three cannabis plants in a private residence for adults 21 and older, according to the Marijuana Policy Project. It establishes a timeline to create a market to be overseen by a new regulatory commission, and as of May, sales are expected to begin by December 2022.

Eligible patients with a physician's approval may possess up to 2.5 oz. of usable marijuana or up to 12 plants (indoor cultivation only).

Rhode Island has both decriminalized marijuana and legalized access to the herb for medical purposes. Possession of less than 1 oz. is a civil offense (like a parking ticket) with a fine of up to $150, but a conviction for the sale or cultivation of more than 5 kg. can result in a term of life in prison.
