Rhode Island Senate passes marijuana bill
May 15, 2008 - turnto10.com
PROVIDENCE -- Rhode Island's Senate has approved a bill permitting up to three nonprofit stores to sell marijuana to chronically ill patients registered with the state.
A spokesman for Senate President Joseph Montalbano said the proposal passed Thursday 29-6. It now heads to House lawmakers.
Sen. Rhoda Perry, the bill's sponsor, has said the proposal fixes a loophole in Rhode Island's Medical Marijuana Program.
State lawmakers voted in 2006 to allow chronically ill patients and their caregivers to possess small amounts of marijuana for pain relief. But they never made clear how patients were supposed to buy the drug. It remains illegal under federal law.
More than 700 patients and caregivers are enrolled in the state's Medical Marijuana Program.

Big step in the right direction.
Oh yea my state borders RI. I've personally witnessed an evolution of weed over the past 7 years I've been smoking around here. Slowly but surely the area is being flooded with a variety of chronic strains and mids/regs/schwag are being phased out. There's still a lot of progress to be made though. 
It ain't like it is in Cali though, not by any means. Count your blessings you lucky bastids!
