Is Delta 9 THC Legal In Rhode Island?

YES

Delta 8 THC is likely not legal according to Rhode Island state law. Rhode Island legalized all derivates, cannabinoids, and isomers of hemp. However, Rhode Island has another law that defines Delta 8 THC under Rhode Island’s definition of “THC” and makes it illegal for human consumption. It does not appear hemp-derived Delta 8 THC would be exempt from this law, and would need further clarification from state lawmakers in order to confidently sell Delta 8 THC in Rhode Island. But Delta 9 THC is legal.
