In this episode of the Kelly & Kelly Law Podcast, Kevin from Borealis Digital Marketing is joined by criminal defense attorney Mike Kelly to discuss the Michigan Supreme Court's recent decision in People v. Hess and what it means for individuals on probation.

Mike explains why this ruling is significant, how the Michigan Regulation and Taxation of Marihuana Act (MRTMA) affected the Court's decision, and why judges can no longer automatically prohibit lawful marijuana use simply because a person is on probation.

The discussion also covers the important limitations of the ruling, including why it does not create a blanket right to use marijuana while on probation. Mike explains when courts may still impose marijuana restrictions, how existing probation orders are affected, and why anyone on probation should consult an attorney before assuming the decision changes their legal obligations.

If you or a loved one is currently on probation in Michigan, this episode provides practical guidance on how the People v. Hess decision may affect your rights and what steps you should take before making any changes.
