I have a medical condition that people have used marijuana to treat, I understand how that limits what work I can do.
It does not matter what is prescribed to you, what matters most is if that medication creates risk doing certain tasks. If a job task analysis deems it reasonable for a worker to work while using their prescription, everything is fine.

The RCMP had clearly established he was fit for that kind of work by keeping him in that placement. There are no allegations of him being unable to or improperly executing the tasks of his job.
At issue here is him using his prescribed medicine in uniform. They didn't care he was smoking pot, they cared you could tell he was a Mountie while doing it.
