Reply to comment by dicksmcgee420 in RI is getting legal weed shops before CT. by UptownDonkey

Source? Rhode Island, like most states, uses seed to sale tracking. Maybe those dealers were hired by legit growers, but I don't think it would be legal to sell black market grown weed at recreational dispos.

I've heard the medical marijuana centers will be the first to supply rec customers.

sure Dicksmcgee has all the lowdown, hes talking out of his ass, youre correct (I grow for state of CT) med shops will open their doors to rec customers june 1st 2023, like they said from the start nothing has changed, we have like 4-5 licensed growers for the state right now and it will remain this way for prob at least 2 more years

That's garbage though. We legalized in what, 2020? 2021? 2 whole years to implement full legalization but in-between then users are caught in this weird fucking legal purgatory, where it's legal to have but there's nowhere to buy and underground markets still get raided by cops.

For what it's worth I'm mostly venting my frustrations with the legislative process. But there just doesn't seem to be a good reason why they haven't opened normal rec dispensaries yet, as a guy who works in construction they could have thrown a dispo up in a few months. Grow/dispo in roughly the same time, plus a month or two. But perhaps you could provide some insight to me as to why they've dragged their feet getting dispensaries open? I know a lot of towns have sticks up their collective asses about having dispos but it just doesn't make sense to me that we're looking at such a painfully long timeline to get the weed we were supposedly allowed to have access to 2 years ago

My source is knowing the people who actually have done this. They were black market growers for decades. When Rhode Island legalized the market they used all the money they had made to become the people supplying the dispensaries. You don’t have to believe anything I say but that is what happened

So they became legit? That makes sense. Sounded like you were implying that black market stuff was being sold legally
