Thirteen states (Alaska, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Maine, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Washington) and the District of Columbia have approved medical marijuana programs either through citizen's ballot initiative or through the legislature. The District of Columbia's program never went into effect because Congress disallowed the District to implement the program.
Rhode Island’s Medical Marijuana Program (MMP) is the result of the Rhode Island General Assembly overriding the Governor’s veto of the Edward O. Hawkins and Thomas C. Slater Medical Marijuana Act in 2006. It protects patients, caregivers, and physicians from any penalties resulting from the medical use of marijuana.
The goal of this blog is to keep readers informed of recent developments in medical marijuana legislation nationwide, with a greater focus on the emerging trends in Rhode Island. Stay tuned...
