Consult a Medical Marijuana Specialist

Once your doctor approves your application, they will provide you with a Practitioner Form—their official written recommendation for medical marijuana. To complete your application in Rhode Island, you’ll need to submit this form along with the required documents and state application fee.
After your application is received, the state will notify you to schedule a photo appointment within 14 days. Your medical cannabis card will be issued immediately after your photo is taken. With your card in hand, you can visit licensed dispensaries and begin legally purchasing medical marijuana.

Understanding Cannabis in Rhode Island
Americans for Safe Access (ASA) gave Rhode Island’s medical cannabis program a C+ rating, noting that there is significant room for improvement in supporting the 17,994 patients who depend on the program for medical treatment. The ASA evaluated the state’s website and program on criteria such as patient rights and protections, ease of navigation, access to medication, and overall functionality.
Rhode Island has operated a medical cannabis program since 2006, but challenges remain. In 2021, two key issues stood out: the high cost of medical cannabis and discrimination against state employees who apply for access.
ASA suggested that if Rhode Island implements certain reforms, the state could improve its rating from a C+ to a B. Progress has already been made—six new licenses were issued in 2020, expanding the number of authorized retailers and improving patient access to cannabis products.
Other states have experimented with state-run cannabis retail facilities, but most of these efforts failed in 2020 due to conflicts between federal and state cannabis laws.
