Likewise, it is illegal to sell or possess with the intent to sell a prescription drug without being a medical practitioner who is authorized to do so.

"Sale" is any form of delivery, which includes barter, exchange or gift, or offer therefor, and each such transaction made by any person whether as principal, proprietor, agent, servant or employee.
Connecting the dots is simple.

If your argument is that the law ought to be changed, then make that argument. If your argument is that the laws currently on the books should not be enforced (and this is what it appears your post intends), I'm interested to know which laws should not be enforced, or if wealth and fame ought to give a person special treatment.
Don't forget that some of those substances involved were not approved drugs - I don't believe that "the clear" was ever approved by FDA or studied in any kind of clinical trial other than a non-randomized, flax-seed controlled study in MLB sluggers. That's not just illegal, it's downright dangerous and unethical.
