Bill requires medical pot users to register! 
Source: Anchorage Daily News
A bill that restricts the medical marijuana law voters adopted last year passed the Alaska House on Monday. The bill would require patients who want to use medical marijuana to register with the state, and it sets the maximum amount a patient can legally possess at one ounce or six plants.
The initiative voters approved set up an optional registry that patients could sign if they wanted an ID card to ward off arrests. Bill sponsor Sen. Loren Leman, R-Anchorage, said it draws a bright line for police so that they can enforce the law against recreational use of marijuana without harassing people who have a valid reason to use the drug. Organizers of last year's marijuana campaign initially said the bill practically killed the new law. But Leman conceded to a series of amendments, and that quieted arguments that he was trying to overturn the will of the people. The bill passed 30-9 and now goes back to the Senate for approval of the changes the House made. Click the above link to read the whole article!
