A little-known law may finally challenge the feds’ 30-year stall in recognizing medical marijuana. But it also raises a big question: Who decides what is medicine?

In an effort to fight for Michael Teague's release from federal prison, a motion for bail pending appeal was filed by ASA on October 2, 2004 in the 9th Circuit.

Five years in federal prison may be the result today of a plea bargain an Orange County man was forced to take after being advised he’d be unable to present evidence in court of either the back injury which has left him with chronic pain or the life-threatening reactions to conventional pain killers which caused his doctor to recommend medical marijuana.

Carter last Friday, Feb. 7.
