Church Fights Seizure of 'Sacramental' Pot

PORTLAND, Ore. (CN) - An Oregon branch of the Native American Church claims the United States illegally seized its sacramental marijuana - but national church leaders disavow the validity of the branch's affiliation and say marijuana has never been a part of its rituals.

Oklevueha Native American Church leaders James "Flaming Eagle" Mooney and Joy Graves sued the United States and the U.S. Postal Service on Jan. 15 in Federal Court.
