Is this really weaponised, though? His prescription is for 3-4 tablets a day, it sounds like he’s getting one in the morning then that’s it until the end of the working day in court. Based on his lawyer’s request, he probably can’t take it in court, so they’re asking for a long release tablet that will get him through the day.
It’s no good him getting a regular tablet at 8am if his case isn’t actually heard until after 12.
Literally all of what you just recited should be a discussion between him and his doctor. Doctors can and will have urgent consultations with patients, and one of the outcomes of those consultations can be “we’re switching to this new drug tomorrow”.
Neither judges nor lawyers can prescribe medication. No pharmacist in the US will fill a prescription without a doctor’s order - which they WILL check for schedule 2 substances (and these medications are generally schedule 2 substances).
This is 100% theatrics, which is where the vast majority of my ire on this topic is coming from.
As someone with ADHD, the fact that he’s trying to weaponize his condition in a legal setting is a little bit infuriating.
