Call your probation officer. Keep all documentation.
yea i figured this, i'm really just wondering if legally i'm ok and they can't like violate me and throw me in jail.
As long as it's a legal prescription, they shouldn't be able to violate you. One of my roommates was on parole taking Ritalin and his parole officer just wanted a letter from his doctor or something like that.
It's a lot of paperwork to throw someone on probation/parole in jail, so as long as you keep them informed, you should be good.
good to hear. yea i'm keeping all my prescription paperwork from my pharmacy and i'm getting ready in a day or two to send my probation officer pictures of it all and information on what everything is and explain my dr has changed some of my meds and that two are controlled and will be showing up on my next drug screen.
i just know how much in reality that they really do not care as far as putting u in jail and stuff and to them it does not matter like i know how easy they can fuck your life up without even blinking twice over it. but thanks
Good luck! I think you've got a good handle on the situation.
if legally i’m ok and they can’t like violate me and throw me in jail.
This is America, they'll do whatever the fuck they want if you're poor and/or minority. Document it because it's all up to your probation officer, Lemmy can't give legal advice
yea you are so right. thanks
It is highly dependent on the terms of your probation. Call your probation officer or ask a lawyer. All other answers are going to be guesses. Doesn't matter if you have a legal prescription if your probation explicitly prohibits possession of those drugs. Some dealers get their supplies from prescriptions that may or "legal" but aren't ethical. Just giving an example of a reason your probation might prohibit possession even with a valid prescription. Sometimes in these cases, if you need the medication it will be dispensed in very small quantities by your probation officer or another program. So, no one on the internet without your case history and probation agreement and a legal background can answer 100% for sure.
