Its not that its no offense, you simply can't be prosecuted if no one knows about it. But that doesn't equal legal. If you get into an accident and anyone finds out that you took opioide, even just medical painkillers, you will be attributed most of the blame in court.
A prescription only provides defense in court, not an immunity to prosecution. It still is in your responsibility to prove that you weren't impaired by your medication, which is nearly impossible. If your tolerance is high enough that your reaction time doesn't decrease, then its nearly useless either way.
