Rhode Island’s cannabis industry has undergone significant transformation, expanding from a medical-only market to include adult-use cannabis as of 2022. At the heart of ensuring compliance with Rhode Island cannabis laws is Metrc, the state’s required seed-to-sale tracking system. Managed by the DBR’s Office of Cannabis Regulation, Metrc monitors every stage of the cannabis supply chain—from cultivation to final sale—ensuring a legal, transparent, and compliant operation. This system is essential for preventing diversion, maintaining product quality, and upholding public safety across the industry.

The DBR’s Office of Cannabis Regulation is the key regulatory body responsible for overseeing Rhode Island’s medical marijuana and industrial hemp programs. As the lead entity within the Executive Branch for cannabis policy, it plays a central role in executing and coordinating the state's cannabis regulations. The expansion into adult-use cannabis has created new opportunities for the Rhode Island cannabis industry, including job growth and increased tax revenue, all under the careful oversight of the Office, which ensures compliance through the use of Metrc.

All licensed cannabis operators in Rhode Island, including cultivators, processors, retailers, and testing laboratories, are required to track their operations in Metrc to ensure full transparency and regulatory compliance.
