Rhode Island has established a progressive cannabis market, legalizing medical cannabis in 2006 and adult-use recreational cannabis in 2022. This has opened up numerous opportunities for cannabis businesses across the state, from cultivation to retail. However, for those specifically interested in cannabis consumption lounges, it's important to note the current regulatory landscape.

As of the latest information, Rhode Island does not currently permit dedicated cannabis consumption lounges or issue licenses for their operation. While adult-use cannabis is legal, public consumption is generally restricted, and consumption is typically limited to private residences. Municipalities like Providence, Warwick, Cranston, Pawtucket, and East Providence have the ability to set their own ordinances regarding public consumption, but no statewide framework for licensed consumption lounges is in place.
