January 5, 2021 by AggregatedNews Leave a Comment

PROVIDENCE — David Spradin is the CEO of a California-based marijuana company called Perfect Union.

Many of the 55 or so state-licensed cultivators who now grow medical marijuana for the three existing dispensaries have their eye on winning one of the licenses.

In reversal, R.I. lawmakers abandon attempt to regulate medical marijuana outlets

February 5, 2020 by AggregatedNews Leave a Comment

The House and Senate passed identical bills in unanimous votes, removing the “legislative veto” language over medical marijuana and hemp regulations that was included in this year’s state budget. There was no debate. Rhode Island lawmakers voted Tuesday to give back the final say over state cannabis regulations that they gave themselves last summer, backing […]

January 16, 2020 by AggregatedNews Leave a Comment

rhode island recreational marijuana

In the early evening of June 22, the Rhode Island House of Representatives passed the state’s $9.9 billion budget for fiscal 2020. Among the high-profile provisions in the 488-page spending plan was Article 15, which significantly reshaped the state’s medical marijuana industry. After six years of three dispensaries, the General Assembly expanded the marketplace to […]

R.I. Senate won’t support legalizing marijuana in 2020

December 18, 2019 by AggregatedNews Leave a Comment

rhode island recreational marijuana

Marijuana legalization in Rhode Island appears dead in the state Senate for another year. Senate President Dominick Ruggerio said Tuesday he doesn’t think the state’s medical marijuana program has been well-regulated and expanding legal access to the drug any further is a bad idea. “No,” Ruggerio said in a State House interview Tuesday, when asked […]

Rhode Island bills would help minorities get into marijuana business

May 30, 2019 by AggregatedNews Leave a Comment

Rhode Island demand for medical marijuana skyrocketing

March 29, 2019 by AggregatedNews Leave a Comment

rhode island recreational marijuana

While state lawmakers consider legalizing recreational pot this year, sales of medical marijuana continue to hit new highs. The reason isn’t just that more people are ailing, state regulators say. The state’s three medical marijuana dispensaries are on pace to sell about $56 million worth of medicinal pot in fiscal 2019, said Norman Birenbaum, the state’s top […]

Rhode Island governor to propose legalizing recreational marijuana

January 14, 2019 by AggregatedNews Leave a Comment

rhode island recreational marijuana

Facing the “inevitable” prospect of being encircled by states that have legalized recreational marijuana, Gov. Gina Raimondo will propose this week that Rhode Island do the same. “I will say, I do this with reluctance,” she told The Journal last week. “I have resisted this for the four years I’ve been governor. … Now, however, […]

PROVIDENCE, R.I. — Marijuana legalization advocates are planning to introduce a scaled-back version of their legislation that would legalize the drug next year but put the brakes on immediate plans for retail stores.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. — Marijuana legalization advocates are planning to introduce a scaled-back version of their legislation that would legalize the drug next year but put the brakes on immediate plans for any retail stores.
