Michigan Probation Weed Update

By: Mark Satawa, Esq.

The Michigan Supreme Court recently ruled that judges generally cannot prohibit lawful marijuana use as a condition of Michigan state probation solely because marijuana remains illegal under federal law.

But don’t misunderstand this ruling:

It applies to Michigan state probation not federal probation.
You must still follow all other conditions of your probation.
Marijuana use that violates Michigan law is not protected.

This decision does not give everyone on probation unlimited permission to use marijuana. Every case is different, and violating your probation can still have serious consequences.

If you have questions about your probation conditions or have been accused of a probation violation, Satawa Law can help you understand your rights.
