JUNEAU The state Senate passed a bill Thursday placing new limits on the medical marijuana law voters adopted last fall. "I assure members that this does not repeal the law," the bill's sponsor, Sen. Loren Leman, said. "It makes it work." Senate Bill 94 passed 15-5, with the minority Democrats voting no. It moves to the House. 
The voter initiative allows people with terminal or debilitating diseases to use marijuana if they have a recommendation from their doctor. It passed with nearly 60 percent of the vote in the November election. Leman, an Anchorage Republican, angered proponents of the marijuana initiative in March, on the day the new law went into effect, by introducing a bill to change it. He said he was trying to make it easier for police to determine who is a legal user of marijuana and who isn't. He said he wanted to prevent arrests of innocent patients.
