There are cases that state you can use medical marijuana while on probation, but many probation officers are not aware, or just ignore, this fact. It is possible that he is basing his opinion on the fact that you were convicted of a drug offense, but it should really not have any bearing on the situation.

Were you a patient when convicted? Were you a caregiver?
