Rhode Island establishes patient registry for possession and cultivation of cannabis for personal use
Rhode Island has officially become the 19th state to legalize cannabis for adults!
Rhode Island has promulgated an ordinance that allows citizens to sign up for a patient registry to possess and grow cannabis for self-medication. This registry is designed to allow citizens to manage their cannabis treatment and help them save money. Since 2013, Rhode Island has operated three state compassion centers to sell medicinal marijuana to registered cardholders. State officials approved six more in 2019, bringing the total number to nine.
In order to participate in the registry, you must apply and submit a medical treatment plan and proof of diagnosis. Once the required documents are verified, the patient will be enrolled in the registry. The benefits of participating in the registry are that patients can possess and grow cannabis for their own treatment without criminal penalties. There are organizations that provide containers for the possession and release of cannabis that accept patient registry documentation.
Patients are responsible for maintaining the validity of the registry and complying with Rhode Island's cannabis laws.
Introduction: what does Rhode Island's patient registry ordinance allow?
Rhode Island's ordinance allows for the establishment of a self-provided patient registry that eliminates the punishment of citizens for possession and cultivation of cannabis. A patient registry is a general benefit to patients who need cannabis treatment because it allows them to maintain independence from treatment and saves money. The ordinance also encourages close collaboration with health professionals.
Medical marijuana patients can grow twelve mature plants and twelve seedlings at a time. All grows must be registered with the Department of Health and each plant must have a tag identifying it as a medical cannabis plant.
Rhode Island's cannabis bill now allows adults over the age of twenty-one to grow six plants, only three of which must be mature plants, for personal use.
Reasons why Rhode Island passed the patient ordinance
