Anyone holding a state-issued medical marijuana card is immune to possible penalties, the appeals court said, 3-0.
The court, however, cautioned that the decision does not apply to the recreational use of marijuana, which was approved by voters in 2018.
Michael Thue was barred from using medical marijuana while on probation for a year in a road rage incident in the Traverse City area. A District Court judge said the marijuana ban was the policy of Circuit Court judges in Grand Traverse County.
Circuit Judge Thomas Power declined to hear an appeal.
The Michigan Appeals Court cautioned that the decision allowing for medical marijuana use while on probation does not count for recreational marijuana.

A drug dealer nicknamed Scouse Jay was a major player in helping to flood heroin and cocaine throughout a town in a truly, truly astonishing racket. James Swindells was part of a large gang, with crucial links in Merseyside, who targeted vulnerable addicts in Ellesmere Port.
At Swindells home on Missouri Drive, in the Great Sankey area of Warrington, police uncovered a Samurai sword, drug paraphernalia, a safe, and a gold Rolex watch worth more than £10,000.
