# Can I still be charged for marijuana possession in Rhode Island?

Yes. You can still face charges for possessing more than the legal limit, possessing any amount while under 21, consuming in public, or possessing marijuana in a way that suggests intent to sell. Federal property and certain workplaces add their own rules. Legalization set boundaries, and stepping outside them is still a criminal or civil matter.
