and
Results Of Todd McCormick’s March 31, 1998, Drug Test:

Los Angeles

June 11, 1998

Actor Woody Harrelson will not have to forfeit the $500,000 bond he posted for cancer patient Todd McCormick. However, McCormick must pay $17,500 to set up a new drug testing procedure in Los Angeles that differentiates between marijuana and Marinol in order to remain free on bail until his trial for growing marijuana at his home last year.

Under terms of the stipulation, which was approved by U.S. Magistrate James McMahon, McCormick renewed his promise not to use marijuana and any hempseed derivatives, but he can use Marinol, a Schedule II pharmaceutical containing a synthetic form of marijuana.

In March of this year he was arrested after his use of Marinol with a doctor’s prescription caused him to text positive on the urine tests, which he must take on a random basis. At that time he was held illegally in jail for almost two weeks because the prosecutors were not ready to present their case. Expert testimony secured by NORML established that the results of his test were consistent with the use of Marinol. A federal judge then ruled that he could remain free until Wednesday’s hearing.
