SB 5155, sponsored by Sen. Maureen Walsh (R–Walla Walla), is the companion home grow bill to HB 1131. Both bills allow a person, who is at least 21 years of age, to have no more than six cannabis plants at their residence. The bills also establish a 15-plant limit per housing unit. Finally, the bills provide that a landlord would be allowed to prohibit home grow by a tenant.

For the non-gardeners out there, HB 1358 would allow cannabis delivery to your door. HB 1358, sponsored by Rep. Steve Kirby (D–Tacoma), would allow a delivery endorsement to a cannabis retailer’s license. Only persons at least 21 years old could place or receive a delivery order for personal use. Delivery locations would be limited to residences or lodging businesses. Delivery vehicles could not contain any retailer or cannabis-related advertising. The bill directs the Liquor and Cannabis Board to adopt a delivery fee by rule.
