The Washington State House of Representatives recently passed a bill (HB 2152) that would allow terminally ill patients to use medical cannabis in healthcare facilities, including hospitals, nursing homes, and hospices. The goal is to provide patients with more options for comfort and dignity during end-of-life care while ensuring hospitals have a uniform, safe way to manage its use.
Under this plan, patients or their caregivers are responsible for getting and administering the cannabis, which must be kept in a locked container. To keep the environment safe for others, smoking and vaping are strictly prohibited, and the policy does not apply to patients in emergency rooms. Facilities must keep records of the usage and can pause the program if they face any federal enforcement or legal conflicts.
If the bill clears the Senate and becomes law, these new rules are set to take effect on January 1, 2027. Read the full story.
