AN ACT RELATING TO FOOD AND DRUGS -- THE RHODE ISLAND CANNABIS ACT

HB 7716 amends Rhode Island's Cannabis Act by removing the requirement to list cannabinoid concentrations (like THC or CBD) as dry-weight percentages on product labels. This change directly affects cannabis businesses - including cultivators, manufacturers, and retailers - that must now display cannabinoid levels using a different method determined by the Cannabis Control Commission. The bill updates labeling standards without altering cannabis legality, age requirements, or licensing rules. It focuses solely on simplifying how product potency is communicated to consumers.
