MARIJUANA ACTIVIST GETS WARNING AFTER RELEASE

Medical marijuana activist Todd McCormick,charged with growing thousands of
pot plants at a Bel-Air mansion, was ordered freed from prison Tuesday but
told he could be arrested again if he is found to be using the drug or its
derivatives.

U.S. District Judge George H. King ordered McCormick freed until an April
22 court hearing. He said McCormick will be tested periodically by federal
authorities to ensure he is not using marijuana.

King's ruling overturned an order by U.S. Magistrate James McMahon, who had
ordered McCormick to prison April 3 for violating bail by failing drug
tests for marijuana.

McCormick says the results were skewed because he was taking Marinol, a
legal drug containing a synthetic from of marijuana.
