i bet this is because they can't get the shops open in time, people still gotta buy weed. RI needs to hurry up and legalize and give these poeple somewhere to get it.

Unless these people were in violation of other laws, like selling to minors, I'd have to imagine their lawyer should be able to talk their way out pretty readily. If not, well, shit.

I've been debating moving to mass in large part because i wanna grow my own weed and things like this are worrying

This happens in every state. The DEA could legally raid any dispensary they feel like and no one could do shit about it.

I'm from MA and you would not be getting arrested unless you were distributing it or had over an ounce on you at any given time. It's decriminalized in the state as long as you don't go over that measurement in possession. Obviously owning a scale or individual baggies with the product is a big red flag for an arrest as well.

Even after legalization I buy it online and smoke only at home. Some habbits may save you.

police never let the laws get in the way of a good arrest

Alcohol arrests happen and it's legal.
