Hi,
You're taking the marijuana because it was prescribed to you, its not for recreational purposes. As such just tell your employer beforehand that you smoke medical marijuana and show him the prescription from your doctor.
Since you are smoking it legally and because of medical reasons I am quite sure that you're employer cant use that against you, well unless you start smoking the medical marijuana while you are working, then he can fire you and there is nothing you can do about that.
So be honest and just tell him/her the whole situation and show him your prescription.
I hope this answered your question.
