Let me restate what I took spatte21 to mean, which is also in accord with what I was going to say. Yes, it's a shame and perhaps the whole thing should not be happening. However, it wasn't a very wise thing to do if you wanna get off of probation and start smoking again without having to worry about drug tests. Just go with it and get it over with.. you're not going to gain anything by pissing off a probation officer.
