Can dmv suspend your license for smoking medical marijuana?

me and my friend got pulled over, he wasn't even driving and we received tickets for posession of mj and told us hes gonna report the dmv on us that im unable to handle my g35 and a risk to the community ..so dmv sends us a letter to call them and have a telephone apointment ,stating if we dont call on the time, our l's will be suspended ...we both called and answered thier stupid questions a couple weeks go by and we get a letter saying our l's is suspended. our case was dropped in court because we were medical but we have no drivers license ..still anyone can help me with this ?

okk forget about me...my friend wasnt even driving ~!!! he was a passanger jesus christ .

Driving under the influence is illegal therefore the suspension is legal.

The State of California may recognize medicinal marijuana, however, the Federal Law does not. California drivers licenses are for driving on the highways and byways of California. Should California want to continue receiving the federal dollars for highway maintenance and construction...I'm sure the drug violations will be an issue!

I don't think you can drive on drugs, even if the drugs are legal.

even if the marijuana you had was for medical reasons and you had proof of that (which you did).. it is still illegal to drive high. That is driving under the influence of drugs.. That's why your license is suspended.

certain medicines are not to be taken if you plan to drive.simply put ,you were driving under the influence of drugs.

i'd get a lawyer .. especially for your friend. if you could pass the sobriety test .. then what is the issue ? i'd get legal advice. good luck.

Can they? According to you they can - and they did.

But nobody is going to be able to answer this for you until you tell people what state you're in. California is not the only state that permits medical marijuana, so you need to tell people what state you're in so those laws can be considered.
