I have a legal 215 prescription for marijuana. Is it considered OK on probation in Cali?

Before you do anything I would suggest contacting your PO about this. They may or may not have a problem with this. Better to find out before versus after.

Hello mom:

I'll bet you're po isn't going to go along with your prespcription. They don't even want you to do the drugs your real doctor prescribed. As a matter of fact, I'm sure of it.

I agree with Ex. Even if you need to take Pain meds ( narcotic) you have to have your Doctor write a letter stating there is NOTHING else that could be taken for your condition. AND narcotic pain medication is legal if written by a REAL Doctor.

As a matter of fact... probation DID go along with it... its a medical rx as she explained, I have the card and all the documentation... :) :)

Glad it worked out, I would say my guess most PO would not have.

I don't know if you have heard of the principal of "nullification", but what you are talking about shows some of the weird problems that arise when states try to nullify, or override, federal laws that are on the books. Lotsa people don't seem to understand that federal narcotics laws, like the Harrison and Uniform Narcotics Acts, prohibit certain drugs in the United States. That's right, in the whole United States. States don't have to power to say it is legal in their state because states don't have the power to nullify federal laws.

Having said all that, it was a general practice when I was a PO that if a probationer had a prescription for anything prescribed by a doctor, is was OK to take it. It makes sense, as it is certainly wrong for a PO to try to interfere with prescribed medications, I can see legal liability attaching to stuff like that.
