Building a Better Cannabis Experience in Portsmouth

Here on Aquidneck Island, every town has its own rhythm, and Portsmouth is no exception. With its quiet coastal backroads, family-owned farms, and unbeatable views of the bay, it’s a place that values quality, connection, and community. That’s exactly why building a better cannabis experience for Portsmouth matters to us.

At Newport Cannabis Co., our mission is to make cannabis feel welcoming and accessible for everyone who calls this island home. If you’re a long-time consumer or just beginning your journey, we’re here to make the experience easier and enjoyable with products you can trust and guidance you can count on.

And as Portsmouth continues to grow and evolve, we’re excited to grow right alongside it, offering a cannabis experience that reflects the honest, down-to-earth spirit of the community.

Our Philosophy: Quality Without Compromise

We believe everyone on Aquidneck Island deserves access to premium cannabis without inflated prices or confusing jargon. 

• Our shelves are stocked with products we personally stand behind.
• Every item on our menu is selected with intention. 
• We look for brands that value transparency, consistency, and customer trust just as much as we do. 
• That includes working closely with respected Rhode Island cultivators like Hangar 420, along with a curated list of other reputable growers and makers who share our commitment to top-tier cannabis.

For us, quality without compromise means we deliver exceptional products at fair prices and support you with a team ready to help you find what fits your lifestyle.

Making Cannabis More Accessible for Everyone

We want to make cannabis shopping feel easy, so we offer statewide delivery, making it simple for our Portsmouth neighbors (and the rest of Rhode Island) to get the products they love without the extra drive. 

1. If you’re right down the road or across the bridge, your favorite flower, edibles, and prerolls are just a click away.
2. Inside the shop, we keep things just as approachable. Our team is here to guide you through the menu at your pace, answering questions, explaining effects, and helping you compare options so you can find the perfect fit.
3. Plus, we also believe information should be clear and honest. From terpene profiles and potency to how a product might make you feel, we offer transparent details so you can shop confidently.

Our knowledgeable budtenders offer straightforward guidance to help you choose what’s right for you.

Supporting Local, Giving Back

From our very first day, giving back has been woven into who we are. 

• During our grand opening, we donated $2,000 to the Potter League for Animals, and our community support has continued ever since through partnerships with organizations like the Aquidneck Land Trust, the Fort Adams Trust, and ongoing ALS research initiatives.
• These efforts reflect something we know Portsmouth values deeply: local pride, shared responsibility, and supporting the people and places that make our community special. Because to us, cannabis is about community growth.

Every time you shop at Newport Cannabis Co., you’re helping support the island we all love, and we’re proud to reinvest in the places that keep Portsmouth strong, connected, and thriving.

The Future of Cannabis on Aquidneck Island

Looking ahead, we’re excited about what cannabis can become for Aquidneck Island, and Portsmouth is a big part of that vision. 

• At Newport Cannabis Co., our long-term goal is to keep improving access, expanding education, and helping more people understand cannabis in a way that feels safe, comfortable, and genuinely useful in their everyday lives.
• We see opportunities for more community events, deeper partnerships with local organizations, and new initiatives that bring people together around education and responsible enjoyment. 
• We’re committed to helping the island grow by hosting workshops, collaborating with Portsmouth-based groups, or creating spaces for open conversation.

As we continue to grow, we want to be a trusted leader in local cannabis culture and wellness.
