First of all, here's my argument...IF a state attempted to impose limits on how many units a physician could prescribe of a schedule II (or any other class) drug, how would cancer and other SEVERE pain patients be dealt with? I used to get Rx's for 300 10mg methadone tabs per month. The reason being that methadone was offered only in 5 or 10mg tablets and I used 100 mgs per day. A limit of 90, or even 120, would be absurd--in any state. Also, how would this supposed limit work with Schedule II drugs that are dispensed in liquid forms? It doesn't make sense.
Now, here is my PROOF for my state (from MN statutes):
152.12 Doctors may prescribe.
Subdivision 1. Prescribing, dispensing, administering controlled substances in schedules II through V. A licensed doctor of medicine, a doctor of osteopathy, duly licensed to practice medicine, a doctor of dental surgery, a doctor of dental medicine, a licensed doctor of podiatry, or a licensed doctor of optometry limited to schedules IV and V, and in the course of professional practice only, may prescribe, administer, and dispense a controlled substance included in Schedules II through V of section 152.02, may cause the same to be administered by a nurse, an intern or an assistant under the direction and supervision of the doctor, and may cause a person who is an appropriately certified and licensed health care professional to prescribe and administer the same within the expressed legal scope of the person's practice as defined in Minnesota Statutes.

I'm not questioning your intelligence (although I often question my own! ) but doctors have been known to lie. Yours possibly did to avoid having further conversation on the subject? Just a thought!
