I just moved to South County and I am astonished that there are no adult rec. use dispensaries in the area. With the beach, the tourists, URI…. There is an incredible market… does anyone know if there are any plans on a dispensary opening in the area ever? Haven’t been impressed with the prices at RISE and having to pay toll to drive across Newport Bridge isn’t worth it.
How do you show ez pass your residency status?
> In order to demonstrate proof of residency you must submit at least one, unless otherwise noted, of the applicable documents listed: Utility Bill, Tax Bill, Copy of Rental/Lease agreement (for 6 months or more), RI College Student ID, RI State Driver’s License and Registration (must provide both).

You used to have to show up at the toll plaza in Jamestown but think they’ve been accepting these via email
Yeah, they accept them by email, snail mail or fax (lol), according to that same page.
Sweetspot is in Exeter
I also recommend - good spot on Route 2 and it was quiet the few times I've been there.
My life just changed . They need to step up marketing I live in west G and had no idea . I’m so happy and will be visiting asap. I still support local but this is a game changer . are the hours posted anywhere ?
I believe 10am-7pm
Thank you senpai
Sweet spot in Exeter.
It's a little out of the way for most cause Exeter is....well Exeter, but it's a nice little spot tucked away from the road. My roommate has gone there several times since it opened and had nothing but nice things to say about the staff and selection on offer.
They're trying to establish themselves so they're handing out 20% discounts on orders like it's candy (I've been told).
New customers is what I was told but havnt been yet myself but smelled the stuff and looked good to me
Can confirm. It's good stuff :)
Is it recreational?
Yes
Yes! You will begin to see many popping up as time goes by as we just went rec Dec 1st. Solar is opening soon in Warwick and looks amazing so far, keep your eyes peeled for them!
Also Greenleaf is in Portsmouth, but I personally have never been there so I can't give an opinion there.
Mother Earth so far is nothing but stellar reviews across the board. Their aesthetic, budtenders, and products are all amazing. It's a bit more of a hike but absolutely worth it.
Green leaf is extremely overpriced but they do carry some really great RI cultivators.
New-ish to the area, mind naming a few standouts?
Mammoth Inc, E.L.O , fire ganja, hangar 420, cms gardens , ri's finest to name a few.
Thanks for the rec; I wasn’t planning on buying today but found myself in Providence so I detoured to Slater and picked up some of Mammoth’s Animal Gas. Can’t wait to try it!
Good stuff. If you come across the cap Junky grab it.
Keep eyes peeled for OSCC! I work with them making edibles, and we are PUMPED for our stuff to drop shortly. Our flower is testing around 30% thc and up, which is amazing. I'm so excited and proud to represent such an awesome team of cannabis enthusiasts.
Mammoth and they used to be the only ones that carried Black cat hash. Holy fuck man that was some of the best hash I’ve seen in 10 years
It’s coming SK and Gansett vote passed, unfortunately these things take time.
Sweetspot in extleter might be your Jam.
Honestly I'm just going to northeast alternatives because I'm close to there for work and the deals are better than anything I can get in RI yet.
Don't bother with GF in Portsmouth. Used to be a great dispensary but greed has fully taken over. Average price of an 1/8 is now $60.
I used to be medical and liked the kindness collection. Do they still offer that to recreational?
They do but it varies in price from $56-70. Sometimes all they have are $66 and $70 price tiers to offer. And at the end when I was going the quality in them was a mixed bag. One week I'd get something really good and then the next really fluffy light shit.
does anyone know if RI will be selling clones and/or seeds at dispensaries ?
Yup, here's one. I think a couple more got approved in the area too.
They are going to move R.I.S.E to Rte. 2 for better access for people & to boom the business!
From what I've seen RISE is getting lots of business over on Jefferson. It helps that there's an hourly bus route (14) going by there.
They are really moving
If only RISE were better, my experience was much more enjoyable when they were Summit. Now they're constantly out of stuff, but you don't find that out until you arrive. The service used to be great as a medical patient too, but now they seem to cater to rec customers. I don't recommend them any longer
Hectic there yes and they never have what I order
Greenleaf in Portsmouth. its great!
Before RISE what it is now, it was called was Summit and was an ok dispo. The drop-off has been insane. Went once since it was called RISE and will never go back, have heard multiple people say the same.
Couldn't agree more. Went there exclusively for years, now I won't be back. Everytime I go I leave frustrated
Grow your own homie! That's what I did haha.
I’ve had a card here for years, and nothing in RI is anywhere near as good as Northeast Alternatives in Fall River. Better selection, better prices.
Clearly you've never been to nova or natures medicine in fall River
What do the other two places have to do with Northeast being better than the places in RI?
I had a not super experience at Natures medicine and I like Nova Farms, too, FWIW.
I mean it's cheaper. nova produces on site and their vip list is excellent on a broke day. Natures often has 10$ 100 mg gummies and 10$ 1gs 20% or above
Slater is ok I used to have a card and it's where I went in ri
Botera in Franklin has better deals than both.
The retail industry in RI is still very new, and only 5 of 33 licenses have been granted. If the licensure gives room to 33 business (similar amount of breweries in RI), you will see at least a few South County sooner than later.
Buy from dealers. Don't pay those ridiculous taxes

On a side note.. if you show EZ pass proof of RI residency, the bridge is only $0.83 each way
More recreational spots will be popping up eventually. State only gave the pre-established medical places recreational permits for now
