A quote from Dr. Seth Bock was added to this post on Friday at 3:10 p.m. Legislative leaders have reached an agreement with Gov. Lincoln Chafee that they say will allow the state's first medical marijuana centers to open their doors, including one in Portsmouth.

Last week, the Department of Health approved an application submitted by Dr. Seth Bock to open a "compassion center," or medical marijuana center, in Portsmouth.
