In this episode of Law 401, we break down Rhode Island’s journey to legalize adult-use cannabis and what that means for everyday users, lawmakers, and communities most affected by past drug policies. Joined by Kim Ahern, Chair of the Rhode Island Cannabis Control Commission, and Michelle Reddish, a national cannabis regulator now leading Rhode Island’s cannabis office, the discussion covers the new legal framework, the social equity program, zoning rules, dispensary access, and what’s next for cannabis compliance and community reinvestment.

Whether you’re a cannabis policy nerd, a concerned citizen, or just wondering where to legally buy a gummy — this episode is for you.
