The Brown Daily Herald, 11 Apr 2011 – Though medical marijuana is now legal in Rhode Island, administrators maintain that under both state and federal law, the University cannot allow smoking of marijuana on school grounds. Medical marijuana was legalized in Rhode Island June 16, 2009 after state legislators voted to override a veto by then-Gov. Donald Carcieri ’65. Three new dispensaries for medical marijuana will open in Rhode Island this summer.
