We’re ‘Number One’ and it has not gone unnoticed. Last night’s ‘Weekend Update’ poked a little fun at the recently released survey on marijuana usage. Might as well embrace this whole thing because it seems to indicate that everyone in Rhode Island who wants to smoke pot is smoking pot.

Our general assembly will be revisiting regulation in the new session. Meanwhile, Governor Gina Raimondo told Bill Rappleye of TurnTo10 that the end of marijuana prohibition is inevitable and that regulating marijuana is “absolutely something that we should evaluate.”
