Yes. Possession of marijuana over Rhode Island's legal thresholds (one ounce in public or 10 ounces at home for adults 21 and over) can result in charges. Possession over two ounces but under one pound is typically charged as a civil infraction; possession over one pound can be charged as a felony with possible prison time. The presence of distribution evidence (scales, packaging, large amounts of cash, text messages discussing sales) can elevate possession charges to possession with intent to deliver regardless of the amount. Concentrated cannabis and edibles have separate weight thresholds that are easier to exceed.
