Adult-Use Retail License Application Submission

The Cannabis Control Commission continues to evaluate the implications of the recent federal court decision related to the Rhode Island Cannabis Act and the adult-use retail licensing program.

Pursuant to the order issued by the United States District Court for the District of Rhode Island, the Commission is currently prohibited from advancing the existing adult-use retail application review and licensing process.

The Commission remains committed to transparency and ongoing communication throughout this process. Additional updates, meeting materials, and applicant guidance will be posted to the Commission’s website as information becomes available.

The application window for Adult-Use Cannabis Retail License submissions has closed. No new applications may be initiated, and in-progress applications may no longer be submitted.

Applicants may view the status of their application by selecting “My Applications” within the State of Rhode Island’s Cannabis Licensing Portal.

Please note, Commission staff is currently reviewing all adult-use retail license applications. No applications have been approved at this time.
