It's true that this can be an affirmative defense, but the doctor's approval for more medicine is not indicated on the license itself.

Should you get caught with more, you and your doctor will likely have to testify to the medical need that requires more medicine.

It's a legal hassle that would be best to avoid unless absolutely necessary.
