A coalition of Rhode Island lawmakers has vowed to reintroduce a marijuana legalization this legislative session.
The bill will allow adults 21 and older to possess cannabis and will establish a framework for businesses to cultivate and distribute marijuana. While the language is similar to that of previous bills that have failed to come to a vote, lawmakers this year believe that Rhode Island is ready to catch up to its northeast neighbors.
Rep. Scott Slater and Sen. Josh Miller plan to reintroduce the legislation and are optimistic about its chances. A majority of Rhode Island residents support legalization and Jared Moffat, Director of Regulate Rhode Island, believes: “It’s time for Rhode Island to look very seriously at this issue and pass a bill. Otherwise, we risk falling behind those other states.”
