The comparison they made was opiates, you can have a prescription for an opiate (Tylenol 3 for example) that doesn't mean it's okay to be driving a work truck above the limit for opiates outlined in the company policy.

Well I mean that's just common sense, but an employer can't mandate recreational usage of really, anything, outside the workplace, as long as you don't exceed minimum residual levels while in the workplace.
I'm speaking more to zero-tolerance policies where if you test positive for pot usage in the last 30 days (but have no current impairment during testing/working hours) resulting in termination. Those will be (hopefully) a relic.
