DrugBuyers.Com: do you think i have been flagged

Hi Whitecape,

You know I may have been wrong. I was told that there were only a few more states using the Triplicate system and that along with California they were repealing them. But I do know that CA is not going to be using them after January 2005. I tell you, it took me by surprise. CA has used them for decades. If you live in another state you might do a search on your Senate Bill lists. Here is a quick summary of the CA bill; SB 151:

Controlled Substances: Schedule II: This bill, the Treatment and Drug Diversion Prevention Act of 2003, would, on and after July 1, 2004, eliminate the triplicate prescription requirement for Schedule II controlled substances and would, on and after January 1, 2005, require prescribers of Schedule II controlled substances to meet the same prescription requirements imposed with respect to other prescribable controlled substances, as specified. The bill would on and after January 1, 2005, require prescriptions for any controlled substance to be issued on controlled substance prescription forms obtained from a security printer approved by the Board of Pharmacy, as specified. Between July 1, 2004, and January 1, 2005, these prescriptions would be permitted using either the triplicate form or the security forms. The bill would make the CURES program applicable to Schedule III drugs if there is adequate funding and would also provide for the indefinite continuation of the CURES program by deleting its repeal date. The bill would make it a crime to counterfeit a controlled substance prescription; knowingly possess a counterfeited controlled substance prescription; or obtain under false pretenses, or fraudulently produce, a controlled substance prescription, as specified.
