BLUF: Yes.
Simply put. If you pop hot on a Urinalysis, the Commander will be notified, and talk to the soldier.
The soldier will then produce the valid prescription, and all issues will end there. Too easy, no punishments, no problems.
The only problems come when a soldier pops up....and does not have a currently valid prescription.

I served with a guy who was prescribed adderall. He did just fine. He still got drug tested, but the UPL system has checks in place that ensure that a person with a valid script doesn't get hemmed up for it. Just the same as any other medication.

No. If the soldier pisses hot for a prescribed medication, the system double checks their medical records to ensure that the medication is prescribed. If it is, no harm, no foul. I used to have a standing prescription for Percocet and I never once got hemmed up for it.

Absolutely, it's ok, but like someone previously mentioned the Soldier will need to produce a valid prescription for a hot drug test. For deployment a waiver typically required but not hard to get.
