Rhode Island Medical Marijuana Law Amended
State lawmakers have amended Rhode Island’s medical marijuana law to address public safety problems that law enforcement officials call unintended consequences of the program.
The state now also requires cooperative grow locations to adhere to municipal safety code inspections to eliminate the danger posed by grow lights that overwhelm electrical systems.
The state also has set weight, plant and seedling limits for both non-residential and residential grow cooperatives.
The legislation was introduced by state Rep. Lisa Tomasso, at the request of Attorney General Peter Kilmartin.
