Woody has posted a $500,000 bail for cancer survivor and longtime medical marijuana proponent Todd McCormack, after the 27-yr-old was arrested for cultivating large quantities of marijuana in his Bel-Air home. McCormack insists the plants are not for profit but to help treat his illness and that he is an amateur scientist breeding many strains in an attempt to improve their therapeutic value. He will be represented by Alan Issacman, the civil liberties lawyer portrayed in Flynt, and who had won the Supreme Court Case depicted in the film.
