Michigan Court of Appeals Ruling on the use of doctor recommended medical marijuana use while on probation.
If you have been on probation… you know the rules. No consuming illegal drugs especially marijuana. But according to the Michigan Medical Marijuana Act your doctor recommended use of medical marijuana in the State of Michigan… if you are a qualified patient you can not be penalized.
“A qualifying patient who has been issued and possesses a registry identification card is not subject to arrest, prosecution, or penalty in any manner, or denied any right or privilege…” the act states
“Therefore, a court cannot revoke probation upon the use of medical marijuana that otherwise complies with the terms of the MMMA.”
This is our case and we won. But the fight is far from over…
Lead trial attorney and advocate for marijuana law reform Michael Komorn was retained to challenge the probation rule. Komorn is the type of lawyer to take on issue an like this and dive into the foxhole beside his client and fight.
In the end it turned out to be a good day for all Michigan Medical Marijuana patients as the Court of Appeals opinion granted that Michigan judges can’t stop medical marijuana use by probationers.
