This is from personal experience.
I was on DOC (Dept of Corrections) due to LEO popping my grow just as I was getting my Dr.'s recommendation.
I was on 1 years probation for not having my permit at the time of the bust, ..even though if the bust had happened within 3 weeks, I would have been in my limits and legal.
Anyways, during my probation, I was told by DOC, I could not use medical marijuana.
I had my attorney schedule a hearing with a judge to clearify the meaning of this, since by law I am legal to take marijuana as medicine.
The Judge stated and wrote that I was legal to use cannabis and he saw it no different than if I was prescribed Vicodin or any other medicine.
I am now off probation as of 1-8-10 and after a year of monthly urine samples, they didnt say anything to me or give me any troubles, even though I medicated with cannabis on a dailey basis.
I think they just wanted to keep this ruling as quiet as possible.

Just thought I'd inject some personal thoughts on this issue.
