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.
