The bill is SB1381.
Jim Ryan, the former state attorney general and a cancer survivor, said he could support a "narrowly drawn" bill legalizing medical marijuana.
"It can provide needed relief for patients with various afflictions," said Ryan, a Republican.
Rival Republican Bill Brady took the opposite view.
Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn said he would consider signing a medical marijuana bill. "In general, I believe that people who are seriously ill deserve access to all medical treatments that will help them," he said.
His primary opponent, Comptroller Dan Hynes, said he opposes outright legalization but did not address medical use of the drug
