What happens if you violate probation by failing a drug test for marijuana?

Unfortunately, the answer is it depends. A lot goes into determining the sentence for someone who violates the conditions of their probation. If they have done everything else as asked and have a good rapport with their PO, they may just have their probation extended or stay the same. However, if they have failed to do a lot of the requirements of their probation or picked up new charges, they may be required to serve their sentence.
