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

This bill updates Rhode Island's cannabis regulations by removing the requirement to express cannabinoid levels as dry-weight percentages. The change directly affects cannabis businesses, including cultivators, manufacturers, and retailers, who currently must label products using this specific measurement method. By allowing the cannabis control commission to determine the form and manner for expressing cannabinoid amounts, the bill gives regulators more flexibility in how product potency is reported and tested. This adjustment aims to modernize the state's cannabis framework without altering the core legal requirements for cannabis businesses.
