Our Medicine

We have one of the largest selections of medical cannabis on the East Coast including flower, concentrates, edibles, topicals and tinctures.

 

We use only the finest cannabis grown here at the Slater Center as well as plants grown by a select group of licensed cultivators here in Rhode Island. Each plant is carefully cultivated and cured without the use of harmful pesticides and chemicals.

 

Our team of professional cultivators stays on top of industry innovations, using sustainable growing techniques, the latest technology and state-of-the-art processes to produce top-quality plants that produce consistent therapeutic effects.

 

Each plant is hand-cut and hand-crafted into an assortment of cannabis medicines that undergo intensive inspection and testing to ensure they meet our strict guidelines for quality, safety, purity and potency, as well as all state and local regulations.

 

That’s why the Slater Center is the trusted source for patients seeking high-grade medical cannabis that delivers consistent results for their therapeutic needs.
