Ohd 37 your kinda of sorta correct in what you say. My doctor is my next door neighbor (has the day off) so I asked him about your post. He says that a doctor can adminster, prescribe, dispense and hand out samples of drugs in his office no matter what schedule they are. The doctor however must document the schedule II drugs he gives out and must do as the pharmacies do and keep them in a controlled enviorment. He can also prescribe and send most drugs nationwide to a "patient" or if he chooses he can fax, call or mail a pharmacy with an order. Now here's the kicker.....he can not send schedule II's nationwide nor can he call or fax an order in for II's. By federal law the pharmacy must have an original written perscription to dispense the meds.

He also went on to say that state rules may vary slightly but states can not license a doctor to dispense medications only the DEA can do that. The states simply endorse the license given by the Feds, same way with pharmacists. Without a DEA registration/license a doctor couldn't do squat.He said states can make rules that may place additional requirments concerning drugs but they can not over ride the DEA permit. Hence they can make it more restirctive but never less. Doctors can write scrips in any state however if they are not licensed in that state the rules in that area may require pharmacies to ignore the order. It gets really tangled with political garbage as you can see.
