From these links, main number seems to be "Nearly 10 million Americans, or 4.1 percent of the adult population, used prescription opioid painkillers for nonmedical reasons in 2012-2013". Numbers I've seen for marijuana were about 11.5% in a year, though that was for 2001.

So certainly higher usage for marijuana, but definitely not "many orders of magnitude"
