1) Rx drugs pass any drug test your employer might have. Recreational drugs don't.
2) Private insurance might cover Rx marijuana.
3) You are more like to get medical grade marijuana.
4) Rx marijuana won't prevent you from entering the USA. Recreational might.
Are you sure? I thought that it was both illegal to take it out of Canada and illegal to bring it into the USA.
1) Depends on what your employer bans drug use for. In my job, I cannot use marijuana 24 hrs before working, Rx or not. Some employers have stricter rules. I don't see how an employer can differentiate between Rx and recreational for a legal product. It would be like saying, you can't come to work drunk, unless you have a prescription for Captain Morgan... then its OK.
4) If you admit to using marijuana, even prescription, you may be banned (for life) from entering the USA. CBP enforces Federal Laws. Under Federal law, marijuana is an illegal drug. Doesn't matter what individual states say. These has led to problems with legal dispensaries having bank accounts seized (Federal banking laws) and the concern of filing taxes for an illegal product.
As for acronyms, they broke the mold with the hilariously named Caution Against Racially Exploitive Non-Emergencies Act (CAREN) for those making racially based 911 calls falsely.
