Probation comes with a lot of conditions including losing your ability to travel, associate with people who have been with a felony, and carry a firearm or weapon.  You are also not allowed to break ANY law and this includes law on the local, state, and federal level.  As you are probably aware, marijuana is still currently illegal federally.  If the judge were to decide you could continue use of medical marijuana they are essentially allowing you to break federal law.  For this reason alone, most judges don’t have too much sympathy and they come down hard on parolees who use medical marijuana.
