Medical Marijuana Authorized For All Probationers #marijuana-Attorney

[bobandtorey]

In a case of first impression, Division 2 of the Arizona Court of Appeals recently decided that a person on probation could use medical marijuana so long as that use was compliant with the guidelines established by the Arizona Medical Marijuana Act (herein the “AMMA”), A.R.S. § 36-2801 through 36-2819. See, A.R.S. §36–2811(A)(2).

In addition, a cardholder cannot use medical marijuana at: any school (pre-K through high school); on a school bus; in a correctional facility; or, in any public place. See, A.R.S. §36–2802. Probation, however, is not one of the specific limitations listed in the AMMA. As a result, a judge cannot prohibit medical marijuana for those on probation because doing so would violate state law.

In rejecting the State’s argument that the terms of state court probation require a person to obey federal law, the Court of Appeals reaffirmed long-standing precedent that the enforcement of federal law is a duty “belonging to federal officials in federal courts.”

Delta County lets you on felony probation, District court judge likes making it difficult for people. Still had to quit prior to sentencing so I could get work release from jail.
