Staying Compliant with the Rhode Island Office Of Cannabis Regulation
Getting to know regulations in Rhode Island
The Office of Cannabis Regulation (OCR) in Rhode Island holds the responsibility of overseeing and regulating the licensing process for all commercial cannabis activities within the state. It is now mandatory for all licensees involved in the cultivation, manufacturing, transportation, testing, or sale of cannabis products to implement a tracking system.
Rhode Island has been an early adopter in the field of cannabis legalization. In 2006, the state legalized medical marijuana through the Edward O. Hawkins and Thomas C. Slater Medical Marijuana Act. More recently, in May 2022, the Rhode Island Cannabis Act was signed into law. This act permits the personal use and licensed sale of cannabis to adults throughout the state.
