Medical Marijuana Dispensary License Lottery Further Delayed

(Providence, RI) -- A lottery for six new medical marijuana dispensary licenses in Rhode Island has again been delayed. The Providence Journal reports the lottery won't happen the first week of August as scheduled because of an appeal process that is continuing from a rejected lottery applicant, according to state officials. There are currently three medical cannabis dispensaries in RI, while lawmakers consider following other New England states by making the drug legal for all adults 21 and over.
