PORTSMOUTH, R.I. -- Officials are putting the final touches on the Greenleaf Compassionate Care Center with plans to have about 100 ounces of marijuana available for patients on Saturday who have designated the center as a caregiver with the state Health Department.
Seth Bock, co-owner of Greenleaf, said that patients should call the center at (401) 293-5987 to make sure that their applications have been cleared with the health department. The business will open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Bock said there will be 10 different strains of marijuana that he has bought from caregivers who have a wealth of experience in growing cannabis. Prices will range from $200 to $325 an ounce; $32 to 452 for an eighth of an ounce; and $9 to $15 for a gram.
