Our Mission

CannabisRhodeIsland.org exists to provide accurate, educational cannabis information to Rhode Island residents, visitors, and anyone interested in the Ocean State's cannabis landscape. We do not sell cannabis products, operate dispensaries, or maintain affiliations with any cannabis business.

  • Serve visitors — Practical guides for out-of-state visitors, including medical card reciprocity and purchase limits
  • Track the rollout — Coverage of Rhode Island's evolving market, from compassion centers to recreational retail

What We Don't Do

  • We do not sell cannabis — We are an educational resource, not a retailer or delivery service
  • We do not provide legal advice — Our content is informational. Consult a qualified attorney for legal questions
  • We do not provide medical advice — Consult a healthcare provider for medical cannabis questions
