PORTSMOUTH, RI – Rhode Island’s newest cannabis dispensary, Newport Cannabis Co., welcomed more than 1,000 customers to its grand opening over Labor Day weekend. As a result, the company donated a total of $2,000 to the Potter League for Animals, a nonprofit dedicated to advancing the well-being of Rhode Island’s companion animals. The initiative is part of the company’s ongoing community outreach, including support for the Aquidneck Land Trust, the Fort Adams Trust, and ALS research.
The dispensary is owned by Hangar 420, which has served Rhode Island’s cannabis consumers as a cultivator since 2019.
“The business of cannabis is all about community,” CEO Octavius Prince said. “We are more than a retail outlet or a cultivation facility or a brand. We are a conduit for a growing base of consumers who seek greater wellness, more relaxation and essentially a more fulfilling life. We feel a responsibility to give back to this community by supporting organizations that also help meet those needs.”
