Rhode Island: Legislature Makes One-Year-Old Medical Cannabis Law Permanent

Providence, RI: More than 80 percent of House and Senate lawmakers voted last week to make the state’s one-year-old medical cannabis law permanent. The votes override an earlier veto from the state’s Republican governor, who sought to close the statewide program.

Under the state’s law, known as the Edward O. Hawkins and Thomas C. Slater Medical Marijuana Act, an estimated 300 state-authorized patients and their caregivers are provided state legal protections to possess medical cannabis.

The law was set to expire at the end of June unless it was reauthorized by the legislature.

In 2006, Rhode Island became the eleventh state since 1996 to legalize the medical use of cannabis for qualified patients. This past April, New Mexico became the twelfth state to enact such a law, and only the fourth to do so legislatively.


Praise God ! and Thank God ! for another victory.

Good news

we are on the road there
in colorado this year we voted on a law that would make possession of up to an ounce decriminalized, it didn't win, but the split was 60/40 and in a few year hopefully we can get that passed! In denver they already have passed the up to 1 ounce law

Yep, good to hear that some sick people will be able to obtain a treatment for their illness.

but does this mean, the ill people are allowed to grow marihuana or do they still have to buy it from illegal dealer?
