No, you can't. The fact is that even though smoking marijuana with a medical license is legal in most cases. However, the terms of probation can restrict otherwise lawful activity. For example, possessing a firearm, co-habitating with a felon, or (as in this case) smoking marijuana regarding a medical condition even though fully licensed.

No, you may not. The terms of probation can restrict you from many things that are otherwise legal: e.g. traveling freely or relocating (since you may have to stay around to meet with your probation officer); associating with whomever you want (e.g. you can be restricted from meeting with or spending time with people who themselves have criminal records, or with certain specified persons); having a gun; etc. If the terms of your probation bar you from using either marijuana specifically or any illegal drug (and under federal law, which has not been changed, marijuana remains an illegal drug, so it is still considered one), you cannot use marijuana.
