The one-year medical cannabis program in Rhode Island is set to become permanent, regardless of what the governor chooses to do.
A "sunset provision" in the law passed last year means that state lawmakers have to get a new bill on the books by the end of June for the program to continue. Testimony from patients who have been helped and an utter lack problems convinced an astounding majority to vote for making the law permanent - more than 85% of the Senate and nearly 81% of the House.
