Representatives José Báez and Carlos Vargas put forward a bill to let patients use marijuana for conditions from cancer to anxiety, including smoking at home, with the health department licensing production and granting home-grow permits to patients who could not afford clinics or lived far away.[1] The push followed Washington's pledge not to block state legalisation with strict rules. Senator José Pérez warned of loopholes; medical access eventually came through a 2015 executive order, not this bill.[1]
