This law can go one of two ways:

1) States that put pot laws on the books might do away with needed a prescription, in effect the opposite of what the AG wants to achieve.

2) Since the language appears so broad: "effectively licensed physicians to treat patients with prohibited substances" and interfered with the government's authority "to enforce the law in an area vital to the public health and safety," it seems to me that this law would be struck down. If not, the potential impact on other forms of experimental medicines i.e. "prohibited substances" could have unintended effects on the practice and advancement of medicine and treatments. For example, a doctor who develops a new vacine might try it out on themselves before any FDA approval process and it would in effect be a prohibited substance.

The absence of the FDA is suggested, in L Neil Smith's book "The Probability Broach," as why they have 2-day bone-healing devices in their alternate dimension and we don't.
