The California Medical Board licenses doctors, if they are looking for information on an OP, it probably has to do with an investigation of the doc used by that OP. I can't imagine what interest the medical board has in you, unless your employed in the health care professsions. I do think most states are tying to put together tougher laws on what constitutes a physician/patient relationship to try to eliminate OP's from delivering, especially controlled, medications based on a questionaire filled out by "patient" on a website. The days of getting your hydro from licensed pharmacies on the web are just about over. There will be new operations moving in to fill the demand - but it will raise ethical issues for many pain patients.
