    Default Marijuana license during probation

    so my last post got a little out of control, but sadly, it was not a "fake post". i am just a very concerned girlfriend. my boyfriend will be sentenced on december 22 for "evading arrest in a vehicle". i told him that he needs to stop smoking pot because he will most likely be tested when he begins his probation, but he refuses. he says that even if he stops smoking now, it will still be in his system by december 22 because he has been smoking everyday for about 8 years. he just got an idea that he should obtain a medical marijuana license so he can continue to smoke. he was involved in a really bad car accident a few years ago, and has some resulting problems, so i dont think he would have a problem getting a license, but im concerned about his probation. will he be violated for having a dirty test if he has a license? is he even allowed to have a license while on probation? i am so worried! please help!!

    Nonuse can still be made a term of his probation. (And from what you say, his usage has nothing to do with the accident.) If he really wants to know how his probation officer would regard his use of marijuana during probation, he should first speak with his criminal defense lawyer and, based on the lawyer's advice, perhaps broach the issue with his probation officer.

    What state is this in?

    We had a couple local cases recently where probationers obtained marijuana recommendations from a regional doctor that issues them en-masse (heck, a DOG can obtain a marijuana recommendation!) and while we (the police) could not pop them per our DA, the Probation Office DID violate their probation.

    Unless his probation office signs off on this, he could be in big trouble.

    NOTE: As a matter of policy, many local and state agencies are turning over growers and distributers hiding under Prop 215 medical marijuana cards to the feds. Since we cannot prosecute them, we give the feds a shot at it.

    I don't think it's easy to get a medical recommendation for marijane in Ohio. I don't think it's recommended for anything other than cancer pain and once upon a time to relieve pressure from glaucoma.

    If your boyfriend has smoked dope everyday for 7 years he's developed a pretty good addiction. You said he was in severe car accident some years ago; is looking for probation sentencing in December for a crime you have not disclosed; and you're now trying to figure how to help him not face his consequences.

    Have you ever heard of a program called Alanon? Not trying to insult you but you sound like you're obsessing about your boyfriend when maybe (and it is only a maybe) you are taking responsibility who really doesn't want to be "saved" by you.

    If you have a problem with substance abuse, addiction, criminal behavior our evolved society doesn't like it when we have consequences for Your (BF, in this case) irresponsible behavior. Your claiming responsibility for his consequences and you're not legally married to him. Whassup wi'dat??

    Hey, I've got a few credit card bills that I don't want to pay- interested in bailing me out?

    In California, particularly in the larger cities, the better place to go may be Naranon. It depends on the community, of course, but in some places there's a pretty firm philosophy of "AA and Alanon are for alcohol; NA and Naranon are for illegal drugs."

    Lightbulb Re: Marijuana license during probation

    Here's a thought! If he hasn't learned how to straighten up by now then maybe a bit o' celltime with BillyRay will illustrate the err of his ways......have him watch the scene from the flick "Training Day", the part where Ethan Hawke's character is left abandoned in the apartment with the gangstas and they start "reminiscing" about their prison experiences.

    Maybe that'll give 'im a pause for the cause........
