Rhode Island's Cannabis Act (HB 7593, 2022) allows adults 21+ to grow up to 6 plants at home, with no more than 3 mature, and a household cap of 12 plants regardless of how many adults reside there.
Under the RI Cannabis Act effective May 2022, an adult 21 or older in Providence may cultivate up to 6 cannabis plants for personal use, of which no more than 3 may be mature/flowering. Multiple-adult households are capped at 12 plants total. Plants must be tagged with the grower's name, license number (if a patient), and date; they must be grown in a secure indoor or fenced location not visible from public space. Home grows may not be sold or bartered. The RI Cannabis Control Commission (RICCC) oversees the program; municipalities like Providence cannot ban personal home cultivation.
Exceeding plant limits or growing visibly outdoors can lead to seizure of plants and civil or criminal penalties under the Cannabis Act.
