Also, I dug up this:
https://greenwaymaine.com/question/marijuana-parole-probation-card/
How much stock one places in a random website, I do not know. I'd still clarify it with my probation/parole officer before using (or, better still, with my lawyer).
I think it mostly depends on if the judge has ordered complete sobriety or not.
According to the PA Assistant (not a doctor, as I didn't see an MD today 'cause said MD wasn't in the building and the PA can still prescribe my drugs), if it's medical marijuana then it can't be prohibited by the legal system.
That's IF it's MEDICAL - meaning you went to a doctor and were prescribed marijuana for whatever reason. It has to be prescribed by a medical professional.
If that's the case, they can't stop you nor penalize you for using pot.
If it's for recreational use, they can (and still do) disallow it. However, according to the PA, they're much more lenient about it than they used to be. You're probably not going back to jail if the only thing you did wrong was fail a drug test for weed.
So, there's that. That's from asking a medical professional - not a legal professional and not someone working within the justice system.
Again, if faced with this, I'd encourage you to check with your lawyer.
Little known tidbit... If you were appointed an attorney, they are still your attorney until the matter is resolved - not only would they do things like file appeals, you can phone 'em up and ask them questions like if you can smoke medical marijuana. They're your attorney until the matter is closed - be it appeals exhausted or a dismissal from probation/parole. They're still your attorney if you violate parole, for example. (They may not be your attorney for new charges while on parole.)
I don't plant to have to go through that kind of shit. I keep away from the police
