“The initial launch of regulated adult use cannabis has demonstrated the State of Rhode Island’s success in carefully expanding into this new and growing industry”, says Kim Ahern, Chairperson for the Cannabis Control Commission, in a quote on the front page of the new site. “Going forward, the CCC will work to ensure that Rhode Island’s adult use and medical cannabis industries are regulated in a safe, transparent and equitable manner.”
According to the commission the new website will give the public increased access to information and updates regarding the state’s marijuana laws (including regulatory guidelines, upcoming public meetings, etc.), while improving transparency.
“This marks a significant step forward for the Commission as part of our commitment to transparency and open communication.” says Ahern. “These platforms are essential tools in keeping our community engaged and informed of the vital work that lies ahead.”
The commission also on Tuesday launched an official account on the social media platform X.
According to the Rhode Island Department of Business Regulations, there was $9,633,351.50 in marijuana purchased through licensed marijuana retail outlets in September, falling just $40k short of breaking the monthly record for the fifth straight month.
