If you are being drug tested then it's something you are going to have to bring up. If you arent being tested then you might not want to bring it up.

The law says that if a physician recommends a medication and asserts it as beneficial to your health, then you are allowed to use that medication. So marijuana is condidered a legal medication, and you are allowed to use.

The only way you would run into trouble is if they deemed marijuana to be the cause of your violation, or violent behavior, etc... And then they could try and take it before a judge and say marijuana can cause violent/law breaking behavior.

But court rulings have also prohibited judges and juries from second guessing the diagnoses of a licenced physician.

So as long as your card is not fraudulant and you didnt do something crazy for them to believe your marijuana use would be hazardous to you or the public, then you shouldnt have problems.

My advice is to stay clean if you are being tested and then bring it up. That way if you have a PO on a high horse and he makes you piss to try and get a violation on you, you'll still be clean and avoid hassle.

Then you can request a probation modification where the judge knows you have obtained the card legally and have the proper documentation.

But my friend just showed his PO his documentation and that was that, the PO knew it was the law and didnt cause any hassles...

Let me know how it goes I'm in the same situation but have yet to obtain my card. Im being tested. I had possession, evading arrest, and DUI due to being under the influence of a hallucinogen (mushrooms) so I might run into opposition since I had a more serious case...

Good thing was my behavior was due to being under the influence of mushrooms, not cannabis. So they have nothing on me there.

But as soon as I get my card I'll let everyone know how it goes down. I still have to see an orthopedic surgeon and if he can't do anything for my shoulder I'll be making my way to a physician who can recommend some cannabis for me. Anti-inflammatories and synthetic opiates are hell!
