A marijuana company called Hangar 420 recently landed in Rhode Island, bringing with it a cargo of rare strains such as “Do Si Sherbert” and edibles, including THC-infused coffee syrup.
The company has about a dozen employees who work out of its Warwick warehouse facility.
Joe Dilley, director of post-production for the cannabis cultivator and distributor, said Hangar 420 made its first sale of legalized medical marijuana in Rhode Island in late 2021, after getting a state license in mid-June.
But the company is preparing for liftoff with recreational marijuana and marijuana products whenever state legislation is passed by the General Assembly and signed by the governor to legalize it for adult use.
“When adult use is presented, we plan on providing great flower and great products to be at the forefront of that conversation,” Dilley said.
Hangar 420 belongs to a parent company called Ocean State Controlled Botanicals, which was founded and is owned by entrepreneur, philanthropist and film producer Octavius Prince.
The company’s medical marijuana flower and edibles have so far been sold at the Summit Medical Compassion Center in Warwick and the Green Leaf Compassion Center in Portsmouth, Dilley said.
